This item is made to order

Domus builds this fitting to order and asks for up to 10 business days for productionbefore it ships. Order a matched pair or run together a later powder-coat batchis not guaranteed to match.

It is the most compact of the four, and by a clear margin

• 570mm is 85mm shorter than its own up-facing twin and 70mmshorter than either curved bracket. On a low wall, under a soffit, or beneath a first-floorwindow sill, that difference decides whether it fits.
• Which also tells you something about the range: on the straight arms, directionchanges the height by 85mm; on the curved arms it changes nothing both are 640mm. So the straight pair are not one arm inverted, and the curved pair may well be.

Down-facing, straight arm: what it is for

• The lantern hangs below the arm, putting light closer to a door, a step or apath.
• A straight arm reads upright and formal, which suits rendered modern brickworkbetter than a curve does.
• The most compact combination in the range the one to specify where the wallis tight.
• Less light reaches the wall above than an up-facing bracket.

No projection recorded

None of the four CHESTER-LARGE brackets records how far it stands off the wall, andon a wall bracket that is the clearance figure. Ask us and we will measure one worth doing before a made-to-order lead time, not after.

A B22 holder with no maximum wattage

One B22 lamp, not included, no maximum recorded anywhere. B22 LED at911W, warm, enclosed and damp rated. Ask us before anything above about15W.

There is a replacement lens for it

The Requires: Lamp GT-161 line is the CHESTER-LARGE series code,and the series has a GTA-161 replacement acrylic panel set sold separately. The acrylicyellows and embrittles under UV while the cast body lasts decades. Nothing extra is required to installit.

Where it works

• Beside a front, back or garage door, lighting the approach.
• Under a soffit or beneath a window sill, where the 570mm height is the wholeargument.
• Modern rendered facades, where the straight arm suits.
• Not where you want the facade lit use an up-facing bracket.
• IP43 not a wash-down or coastal front-line position.

Questions

Which of the four LARGE brackets is the smallest?

This one. At 350 570mm it is 85mm shorter than its own up-facing twin and 70mm shorter than either curved bracket. On a low wall, under a soffit, or beneath a first-floor window sill, that difference decides whether it fits at all so if the wall is tight, this is the one to specify.

Are the up and down straight brackets the same arm inverted?

Apparently not, and it is worth knowing. The straight-arm pair differ by 85mm in height 655mm up against 570mm down while the curved pair are both 640mm regardless of direction. If they were simply one arm turned over, the heights would match as the curved ones do. So expect the straight pair to look different from each other beyond just which way the lantern points.

How far does it stand off the wall?

Not recorded, on any of the four CHESTER-LARGE brackets, and on a wall bracket that is the clearance figure. Ask us and we will measure one before you order worth doing before a ten-day production wait rather than after, because a clearance problem found on site cannot be fixed by trimming.

Should I choose the straight or the curved arm?

Appearance and size. A straight arm reads upright and formal and suits rendered modern brickwork; a curved arm reads traditional and suits a period frontage. On size, the straight brackets are 350mm wide against the curved ones’ 370mm, and this down-facing straight is the shortest of all four at 570mm. All take the same lantern.

How long will it take to arrive?

Domus builds this to order and asks for up to 10 business days for production before it ships. It is not held in stock the body is powder-coated in the colour you choose after ordering, which is why five colours are offered. Order matched pairs or a whole run together: a second order later starts its own ten days, and a later powder-coat batch is not guaranteed to match.

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 the lantern sits near eye level beside a door, so warm and modest beats bright brightness at that height reads as glare rather than welcome.

Can I replace the lens if it goes cloudy?

Yes a GTA-161 panel set, the CHESTER-LARGE 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. On a bracket beside a door, where the lantern is close and well lit, yellowing shows sooner than it would at the top of a post.
