This item is made to order

Domus builds this fitting to order and asks for up to 10 business days for productionbefore it ships. It is not picked off a shelf.

• That is the trade-off for the finish choice. The body is powder-coated in the colouryou pick after you order, which is why the range offers five rather than one stocked colour.
• Plan the lead time into the job. If it is needed for a handover, a settlement or abooked electrician, tell us the date when you order and we will confirm the production window withDomus.
• Order the whole set together. On a property using several of these, a second orderplaced later starts its own ten days and a later powder-coat batch is not guaranteed to match thefirst.

The width is not recorded but its twin almost certainly answers it

• Our record holds a 510mm height and a 305mm projection and no width.
• Its up-facing straight-arm twin records 300mm at the identical510mm height and 305mm projection the same arm inverted.
• So 300mm is a well-supported estimate, and we have deliberatelynot put it in the dimensions. They are different products and something separates them; ifthat something is the width, the estimate is exactly wrong.
• Ask us and we will measure one if the position is tight.

And its web address is just a number

The handle is 14978. Of 843 Domus products only two have a handle likethat, and both are CHESTER. Searching CHESTER wall bracket down will not find thispage by its address bookmark it or ask us for it by name.

Choosing between the four CHESTER wall brackets

• The straight arms are the taller pair at 510mm and the shallower pair at305mm projection so a straight arm is the better choice where wall clearance is tight andheight is not.
• Down-facing puts the lantern closer to what you are lighting a door, a step,a path.
• A straight arm reads more upright and formal than the curve. On a period frontagethe curve usually suits better; on rendered modern brickwork the straight arm can look cleaner.

A B22 holder with no maximum wattage

• One B22 lamp, not included, no maximum recorded anywhere in the CHESTER family.
• B22 LED at 911W, warm, enclosed and damp rated.
• Down-facing beside a door puts the lantern near eye level, so warm and modest beatsbright.

There is a replacement lens for it

The Requires: Lamp GT-131 line is the CHESTER series code,and the series has a GTA-131 replacement acrylic panel set. The acrylic is the part thatfails; the cast body lasts decades. Nothing extra is needed to install it.

Where it works

• Beside a front or garage door, where the shallower 305mm projection helps.
• Narrow passages and side entries, where the curved arms 370mm would betoo much.
• Repeated along a boundary wall, matched with CHESTER posts at the gate.
• Confirm the width with us if it is going between two fixed points.
• IP43 not a wash-down or coastal front-line position.

Questions

How wide is it?

Not recorded our record holds the 510mm height and the 305mm projection and nothing across. Its up-facing straight-arm twin records 300mm at exactly the same height and projection, which is the same arm inverted, so 300mm is a well-supported estimate. We have deliberately not put that figure in the dimensions, because the two are different products and something must separate them if that something is the width, the estimate is exactly wrong. If the position is tight, ask us and we will measure one.

Should I choose the straight arm or the curved one?

Clearance and character. The straight arms are taller at 510mm but shallower at 305mm projection; the curved ones are 422mm tall and project further, up to 370mm on the down-facing version. So a straight arm is the better choice where wall clearance is tight and height is not. On appearance, a straight arm reads more upright and formal on a period frontage the curve usually suits better, on rendered modern brickwork the straight arm can look cleaner.

Does the lantern face up or down?

Down the lantern hangs below the arm, which puts it closer to whatever you are lighting: a door, a step, a path. The up-facing version of the same straight arm holds the lantern above and throws more light onto the wall, which reads more formal. Both are 510mm tall with a 305mm projection.

Why is the web address just a number?

It is the SKU, 14978. Of 843 Domus products only two have a handle like that and both happen to be CHESTER, so it is a quirk of how these two pages were created rather than anything systemic. The practical effect is that searching “CHESTER wall bracket down” will not find this page by its address bookmark it, or ask us for it by name.

What lamp should I use?

A B22 LED at 911W, warm at around 3000K, rated for enclosed and damp use. No maximum wattage is recorded anywhere in the CHESTER family, so ask us before going above about 15W. On a down-facing bracket beside a door the lantern sits near eye level, so a warm modest lamp beats a bright cool one at that height brightness reads as glare rather than welcome.

Can I replace the lens if it goes cloudy?

Yes a GTA-131 panel set, the CHESTER series replacement acrylic diffuser, is sold separately. The acrylic is the part that fails on these lanterns: UV yellows and embrittles it over years while the cast aluminium body lasts decades. Beside a door, where the lantern is close and well lit, yellowing shows sooner than it would at the top of a post.

Is it the same lantern as the posts and pillar mounts?

Yes. The CHESTER head is sold as four types of wall bracket, a pillar mount, a post top, a chain pendant and nine post arrangements sixteen listings, plus a CHESTER-LARGE range at a bigger scale. None of the listings mentions the others, which is worth knowing: the same head on the garage wall, the gate piers and over the front door is what makes a property read as one scheme rather than three purchases.
