The Domus CHESTER pillar mount is the CHESTER lantern on a short pillar-topcolumn 290 290mm at 670mm high, die-cast aluminiumwith a moulded acrylic lens, IP43, taking one B22 lamp.

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.

Two things about this listings data before anything else

• Its web address is just the number 14984. Of 843 Domus products only two have ahandle like that, and both are CHESTER. Searching CHESTER pillar mount will not findthis page by its address bookmark it, or ask us for it by name.
• It records no lamp base, where the other fifteen CHESTER listings all recordB22. Its datasheet confirms B22, and that is what we have published but with the field blank there is nothing on the listing itself telling you which lamp tobuy.

What a pillar mount is for, and why it is not a post

• It sits on masonry you already have a brick gate pier, a rendered entrancecolumn, a capped wall. No footing, no post, no digging.
• Which is the practical argument for it. Every CHESTER post in this catalogue hasno footing specification recorded, and that is the gap we keep flagging. A pillar mountsidesteps it entirely: the structure is already there and already engineered.
• At 670mm it adds real height to a pier without looking like a post stuck ontop a 1m pier plus this reads at about 1.67m, close to the 1.96m singlepost.
• Its 290 290mm base needs a pier top at least that size, with room forfixings. Measure the pier before ordering a base overhanging a narrow cappinglooks wrong and gives the fixings nothing to bite.
• Cable entry has to come up through the pier, which on an existing wall means eithera chase or a surface conduit. Worth settling with your electrician before you buy.

A B22 holder with no maximum wattage

• One B22 lamp, not included, and no maximum recorded anywhere the same gap asevery CHESTER.
• A B22 LED at 911W, warm, enclosed and damp rated, is what we wouldfit.
• Ask us before anything above about 15W.

There is a replacement lens for it

The datasheet’s Requires: Lamp GT-131 line is the CHESTER seriescode every traditional-lantern family here has one, and each has a matchingGTA replacement diffuser. For CHESTER that is the GTA-131 panel set.

The acrylic is the part that fails on these lanterns: UV yellows and embrittles itover years while the cast body lasts decades. Nothing extra is required to install thisone.

Sixteen CHESTER listings, and a CHESTER-LARGE range

Wall bracket in four arm types, this pillar mount, a post top, a chain pendant, and nine postarrangements. A property can use the pillar mount on the gate piers, a wall bracket on thegarage and the pendant over the door and read as one scheme. No listing mentions theothers.

Where it works

• Brick or rendered gate piers, in pairs.
• Capped garden walls and entrance columns.
• Anywhere you want post-light height without a post and without the footingquestion.
• Not on a pier top under 290mm square.
• IP43 not a wash-down or coastal front-line position.

Questions

What lamp does it take?

B22 the bayonet base according to its datasheet. Worth asking, because this is one of the few CHESTER listings that records no lamp base at all; the other fifteen all carry B22 in the field. With it blank there is nothing on the listing itself telling you which lamp to buy, so the datasheet is the source. No maximum wattage is recorded either; we would fit a B22 LED at 911W and ask us before going above about 15W.

Will it fit my gate pier?

The base is 290 290mm, so the pier top needs to be at least that square with room for fixings around it. Measure before ordering a base overhanging a narrow capping looks wrong and gives the fixings nothing to bite into. Also settle the cable entry with your electrician first: it has to come up through the pier, which on an existing wall means either a chase or a surface conduit.

Why choose a pillar mount over a post?

You already have the structure, and that solves a real problem. Every CHESTER post in this catalogue has no footing specification, base plate size or wind rating recorded a gap we flag on all of them. A pillar mount sidesteps it entirely: the pier is already there and already engineered, so there is no digging, no footing and no wind calculation. At 670mm it adds genuine height too a 1m pier plus this reads at about 1.67m.

Why does the web address not mention CHESTER?

It is just the SKU number, 14984. Of 843 Domus products only two have a handle like that and both are CHESTER, so it is a quirk of how these two pages were created rather than a systemic problem. The practical effect is that searching “CHESTER pillar mount” will not find this page by its address, so bookmark it or ask us for it by name.

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. So a tired-looking lantern on a pier is usually one needing a lens rather than a new fitting.

Is it the same lantern as the posts and wall brackets?

Yes, and that is the main reason to use it. The CHESTER head is sold as this pillar mount, a post top, a chain pendant, four types of wall bracket and nine post arrangements so a property can put the pillar mounts on the gate piers, a wall bracket on the garage and the pendant over the front door and have the whole thing read as one deliberate scheme. No listing mentions the others; it is on the shared datasheet only.

Its datasheet says it requires a wall bracket. Does it?

No. The line reads “Requires: Lamp GT-131 Wall Bracket Straight Arm Facing Up”, which is three separate things on the sheet run together: “Requires: Lamp”, true because the lamp is not included; “GT-131”, the CHESTER lantern series code; and the caption of one of the sheet’s diagrams. Every traditional-lantern family in this catalogue has such a code. What this fitting needs is a fixing into the pier and a B22 lamp.
