The Domus AVIGNON is a traditional exterior lantern indie-cast aluminium with a moulded acrylic lens, IP43,215540mm, taking a B22 bayonet lamp, inbeige, black, burgundy, green or white. This listing is the pillar-mountconfiguration.

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 five finishes. The body is powder-coated in the colouryou choose after you order, which is why the range offers Beige, Black, Burgundy, Green and White ratherthan 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 same lantern head is made in seven configurations, and this page isone of them. Domus lists them plainly and nothing in our catalogue connects them:

That matters on a job with more than one position. A driveway entry with piers, apath with posts and a front door can all take the same lantern in three differentmountings, and read as one scheme rather than three near-matches.Tell us the positions and we will quote the set.

The maximum lamp wattage is not recorded

• It takes a B22 bayonet lamp, and no source states the maximum. For a lamp-holderfitting that is the figure that decides what can safely be fitted.
• It is the third Domus lamp-holder fitting we have found in this position, after theGT-670 pendant and the SHADOW 1LT wall light so it is a pattern in how these are documented ratherthan a single omission.
• An LED B22 sidesteps it entirely. A 911W LED gives roughly what a60W incandescent did and runs cool inside a sealed acrylic lens, which matters far more outdoorsthan in.
• Ask us before fitting anything else, and we will get the figure from Domus.

IP43 it belongs under cover or on top of something

• IP43 is protection against spray falling at up to 60 from vertical. A porch, aportico, a pier cap with an overhang.
• It is not for an exposed position where rain is driven sideways, and it is not to behosed.
• On a pillar the lantern sits above the wall, which keeps water off the entry andhelps but it does not make an IP43 fitting weatherproof. If the pier is fully exposed on awindy site, tell us and we will point you at something rated for it.

Made in Italy, assembled and powder coated in Australia

• Die-cast aluminium body with a moulded acrylic lens. Our record lists the materialas aluminium alone.
• Powder coated locally, which is why five colours are available on a traditionallantern where most ranges offer two.
• Acrylic is not glass. It will not shatter, which is an advantage at a drivewayentry, but it can craze under years of UV where glass does not. On a fully sun-exposed pier, expect it toneed replacing sooner than the body.

Choosing the finish

• Black and white the safe choices against most render andbrick.
• Green reads well in a planted garden and disappears against hedging.
• Beige against sandstone, render and lighter brick.
• Burgundy a period choice, and a deliberate one.
• Match every position on the job. Five colours is generous; use it to match the houserather than defaulting to black.

About the Requires: Wall Bracket line on its datasheet

Its sheet carries a line reading Requires: Lamp GT-271 Wall Bracket.

GT-271 is the lantern series code, not a part number.Every GT code in this catalogue maps to exactly one traditional-lantern family GT-271 is this one and each has a matching GTA replacement diffuser sold separately(GTA-271, the AVIGNON series panel set). The line as we extracted it runs three separate things on the sheettogether: Requires: Lamp, which is true and worth knowing because the lampis not included; the series code; and the caption of one of the sheets diagrams. So nothing extra is required but the diffuser is worth knowing about. On a die-cast aluminium lantern the acrylic is the part that fails: UV yellows andembrittles it over years while the body lasts decades. Ask us for the GTA-271panel set rather than replacing the whole fitting.

What this fitting needs is a fixing into the pier and a B22lamp.

Where it works

• Driveway piers, gate pillars and wall caps the pillar-mount configuration.
• Period and traditional houses, and gardens where a lantern belongs.
• Jobs with several positions the same head in seven mountings.
• Not exposed to driven rain or hosing IP43.
• Ask us for the maximum lamp wattage before buying globes.
• One-year warranty, not three.

Questions

What else does this lantern come as?

Seven configurations of the same head: this pillar mount, a wall bracket, a post top, a pendant, and single, twin or triple head on posts at 1.25, 1.9 or 2.26m for a single head, 1.4, 2.05 or 2.4m for a twin, and 2.4m for a triple. Nothing in our catalogue links them, which is why we are listing them here. On a job with piers, a path and a front door, the same lantern in three mountings reads as one scheme rather than three near-matches.

What is the biggest lamp I can put in it?

Not recorded and we would rather say so than guess. Neither the datasheet nor our record states a maximum for the B22 holder, which is the figure that decides what is safe to fit. It is the third Domus lamp-holder fitting we have found in that position, so it is a documentation pattern rather than a one-off. An LED B22 sidesteps it: 911W gives roughly what a 60W incandescent did and runs cool inside a sealed acrylic lens.

Can it go on an exposed pier?

Under shelter or with an overhang, yes; fully exposed on a windy site, no. IP43 means protection against spray falling at up to 60 from vertical a porch, a portico, a pier cap with something above it. It is not rated for driven rain or hosing. Tell us how exposed the position is and we will point you at something rated for it if this is not right.

Is the lens glass or acrylic?

Moulded acrylic. That is an advantage at a driveway entry, because it will not shatter if it is clipped by a car door or a wheelbarrow. The trade-off is UV: acrylic can craze over years of full sun where glass does not, so on a fully exposed pier expect the lens to need replacing sooner than the body.

Where is it made?

The lantern is made in Italy and assembled and powder coated in Australia. The local powder coating is why five colours are available on a traditional lantern where most ranges offer two it is worth using to match the house rather than defaulting to black.

Does it need a wall bracket?

No, and this is worth clearing up because its datasheet says otherwise. The sheet carries a line reading “Requires: Lamp GT-271 Wall Bracket” but this listing is the pillar mount, and a pillar mount does not need a wall bracket. The line names another configuration in the same family. What this fitting needs is a fixing into the pier and a B22 lamp.

Why is the warranty only one year?

One year is the term across the Domus traditional exterior range rather than an error on this listing; most of the rest of this catalogue is three. The trade-off is a die-cast aluminium body with a replaceable lamp and a replaceable lens a design that tends to outlast its warranty by a long way, with the lens as the consumable.
