The Domus AVIGNON chain pendant is the lantern hung on a chain from a porch or porticoceiling die-cast aluminium with a moulded acrylic lens, IP43, taking aB22 lamp, in beige, black, burgundy, green or white.

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.

Confirm the drop with us before you set the ceiling point.

This listing records a width of 210mm and a length of 670mm, and no height atall so the overall drop is either that 670mm or absent.

The lantern itself is about 540mm tall on other configurations in this range,which makes 670mm plausible as lantern-plus-chain rather than chain alone but that is a reading, not a recorded fact.

On a pendant the drop is the whole decision, and a porch ceiling point is notsomething to move afterwards. Ask us and we will measure one and tell us theceiling height so we can check the clearance.

Hanging it the two figures that matter

• Clearance below. Under a porch or portico, the bottom of the lantern should sitabove head height for the tallest person who walks under it and remember an entrystep raises them. Typically 2.1m minimum to the underside.
• Ceiling height above. At roughly 670mm overall, a standard 2.4m porchceiling leaves the lantern at about 1.7m too low. This pendant wants ahigher porch or portico ceiling, or a shortened chain.
• Whether the chain can be shortened is not recorded. Most chain pendants can, and thisone probably can. Ask us before assuming, because on a standard porch it is the differencebetween usable and not.
• A pendant under an open-sided porch will swing in wind. A position sheltered on threesides is better than a corner that catches the prevailing weather.

The maximum lamp wattage is not recorded anywhere

• B22 bayonet, and no source states a maximum. Every AVIGNON configuration shares thisgap and this is now the eighth Domus lamp-holder fitting we have found in that position.
• An LED B22 at 911W gives roughly what a 60W incandescent did andruns cool inside a sealed acrylic lens.
• Opal, not clear filament. A pendant hangs at eye level for someone standing, and ina traditional lantern with clear panes a filament globe is directly in view from the path.
• 27003000K at an entrance warm light reads as welcome.

IP43 and a porch is the right place for it

• Spray falling at up to 60 from vertical not driven rain, not hosing.
• Of all seven AVIGNON configurations, the chain pendant is the best suited to IP43,because it hangs under a roof by definition. A porch or portico ceiling shelters it from above, which isexactly what the rating assumes.
• An open-sided porch on an exposed elevation is the exception. Driven rain reachessideways. Tell us how enclosed the porch is.

Seven configurations of one lantern

Chain pendant, wall bracket up or down, pillar mount, post top, and single, twin or triplehead on posts of six heights.

A pendant under the portico, wall brackets either side of the door, and posts down thedrive is one scheme in three mountings. No page in the catalogue says the othersexist. Tell us the positions and we will quote the set.

About the “Requires: Wall Bracket” line on its datasheet

Its sheet reads “Requires: Lamp GT-271 Wall Bracket”. A hanging pendant does not needa wall bracket the line names another configuration in the family.What this needs is a ceiling fixing point and a B22 lamp.

Where it works

• Porticos and covered entries with a high ceiling.
• Verandahs sheltered on three sides.
• Period and traditional houses, where the lantern form belongs.
• Not a standard 2.4m porch ceiling without shortening the chain ask us.
• Not an exposed open-sided position IP43, and it will swing.
• Ask us for the drop and the maximum lamp wattage before ordering.

Specifying it

AVIGNON traditional exterior lantern, chain-pendant configuration.210mm wide; overall drop approximately 670mm. Die-cast aluminium with a mouldedacrylic lens; made in Italy, assembled and powder coated in Australia.B22 bayonet lamp holder lamp not included.220240V AC. IP43 the best-suited configuration in this range, since it hangsunder a roof. Beige, black, burgundy, green or white. Warranty 1 year.

This listing records no height. The 670mm “length” is most likely the overalldrop including the lantern, but that is a reading rather than a recorded figure.Ask us and we will measure one before you set the ceiling point. Whether the chain can be shortened is not recorded either on a standard porchceiling that is the difference between usable and not. Maximum lamp wattage is not recorded in any source.

Questions

How far does it hang down?

Ask us and we will measure one before you set the ceiling point. This listing records a width of 210mm, a length of 670mm and no height at all so the overall drop is either that 670mm or absent. The lantern is about 540mm tall on other configurations in this range, which makes 670mm plausible as lantern-plus-chain rather than chain alone, but that is a reading rather than a recorded fact. On a pendant the drop is the whole decision.

Will it fit a standard porch ceiling?

Probably not without shortening the chain. At roughly 670mm overall, a standard 2.4m porch ceiling leaves the bottom of the lantern at about 1.7m below head height for most people, and lower still if there is an entry step. It wants a higher portico ceiling, or a shorter chain.

Can the chain be shortened?

Not recorded, and we would rather say so than assume. Most chain pendants can be, and this one probably can but on a standard porch that is the difference between a usable fitting and one that hangs in the way, so it is worth settling before you order. Ask us and we will confirm with Domus.

What is the biggest lamp I can put in it?

Not recorded in any source. Neither the datasheet nor our record states a maximum for the B22 holder, and every AVIGNON configuration shares that gap. An LED B22 at 911W sidesteps it roughly what a 60W incandescent gave, running cool inside a sealed acrylic lens.

Should I use a clear or an opal globe?

Opal. A pendant hangs at eye level for someone standing, and in a traditional lantern with clear panes a filament globe is directly in view from the path. Keep it warm at 2700 to 3000K warm light at an entrance reads as welcome, where cooler light reads as security.

Is IP43 enough?

Of all seven AVIGNON configurations, the chain pendant is the best suited to it because it hangs under a roof by definition, and a porch or portico ceiling shelters it from above, which is exactly what the rating assumes. The exception is an open-sided porch on an exposed elevation, where driven rain reaches sideways. Tell us how enclosed the porch is.

Will it swing in the wind?

Under an open-sided porch, yes. A chain pendant moves in strong wind, so a position sheltered on three sides is much better than a corner that catches the prevailing weather and it also keeps the fitting within what IP43 is rated for.
