The Domus GT-545 Siena is a sphere wall light in aluminium 280mm across, 220mm high, IP43, taking one E27globe, 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 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.

You need a bracket, and it is not included. Thedatasheet lists the mounts this range requires:

• A GT-502 wall bracket, for a wall.
• Or a GT-503 / GT-504 180mm pillar mount, for a pier or column.
• And an E27 globe, also not supplied.

Tell us where it is going and we will quote the right mount with it. Ordering thesphere alone leaves you with no way to fix it up.

IP43 where it can and cannot go

Spraying water down to 60 from vertical lower than the IP44 or IP65most exterior wall lights carry.

• Suitable under an eave, in a porch, on a covered verandah, or on a wallsheltered from prevailing weather.
• Not suitable on an exposed wall in driving rain, where waterarrives closer to horizontal.
• Not for hosing, coastal spray or pooling water.

If the position is exposed, ask us for an IP44 or IP65 alternative the CLAROat IP65 is one.

The warranty on this product and its sibling disagree

The GT-545 records a two-year warranty. Its near-identical sibling theGT-544 records one year on a product that shares the samedatasheet, the same aluminium construction, the same IP43 rating and the same five finishes.

One of the two is wrong and nothing in our data says which. We have published whatis recorded here and flagged it. Ask us to confirm with Domus before you quote aproject, and we will honour whichever term is correct.

What a sphere does on a wall

• The whole surface glows, so it lights outward in every directionand reads as an object rather than a source. It is decorative first.
• It softly lifts the wall around it rather than throwing a defined beam goodfor presence and a welcoming look, poor for lighting a step or a lock.
• It spills upward. If neighbours are close or you care about a dark sky, ashielded fitting is the better neighbour.

Use them in pairs, either side of a door or a gate. Symmetry is what makes asphere read as deliberate.

Choosing the globe not supplied

• Warm 27003000K. Cool white on a house entry reads institutional.
• Opal or frosted, never a clear filament a clear globe shows as a hot spotthrough the diffuser and undoes the even glow that is the point of a sphere.
• Around 600800lm. A sphere has nothing shielding it, so a very brightglobe becomes something you squint at.
• Rated for enclosed fixtures.

Burgundy, and the rest of the palette

• Black the safe modern choice; a dark object by day.
• White and beige traditional, visible by day, suited to a formal entry.
• Green recedes into planting.
• Burgundy nothing else in this catalogue offers it, and against red brickor a heritage palette it is a considered choice.

What we cannot tell you. No sphere diameter isrecorded for this product, and its overall dimensions are identical to the GT-544(280220mm) despite its web address claiming a larger 25cm sphere.If the sphere size matters to your design, ask us and we will confirm with Domus.

• Either side of a door or gate, as a pair.
• Pillar and pier tops, with the GT-503/504 mount.
• IP43 not for exposed walls in driving rain or hosing.

Questions

Does it come with a bracket?

No, and this is the thing to settle before ordering. The datasheet lists a GT-502 wall bracket for a wall, or a GT-503/GT-504 180mm pillar mount for a pier or column. The globe is separate too. Tell us where it is going and we will quote the right mount with it ordering the sphere alone leaves you with no way to fix it up.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

Not really. IP43 covers spraying water down to 60 from vertical, which is lower than the IP44 or IP65 most exterior wall lights carry. It suits eaves, porches, covered verandahs and sheltered walls; on an exposed wall in driving rain the water arrives closer to horizontal, which is outside its rating. Ask us for an IP44 or IP65 alternative such as the CLARO.

What is the warranty?

Recorded as two years here but its near-identical sibling the GT-544 records one year, on a product sharing the same datasheet, construction, IP rating and finishes. One of the two is wrong and nothing in our data says which. We have published what is recorded and flagged it; ask us to confirm with Domus before you quote a project, and we will honour whichever term is correct.

How big is the sphere?

Not recorded. The overall fitting is 280 by 220mm, which is identical to the GT-544, despite this products web address claiming a larger 25cm sphere. If the sphere size matters to your design, ask us and we will confirm with Domus.

Does it come with a globe?

No. One E27, warm 27003000K, opal rather than clear filament a clear globe shows as a hot spot through the diffuser and undoes the even glow that is the point of a sphere. Around 600 to 800 lumens, and rated for enclosed fixtures.

What does a sphere do that a normal wall light does not?

It lights outward in every direction rather than up or down, so it reads as a glowing object and softly lifts the wall around it. That makes it good for presence and a welcoming look, and poor for lighting a step or a lock. It also spills upward, so a shielded fitting is the better neighbour if houses are close.

Which finish should I choose?

Black is the safe modern choice and reads as a dark object by day; white and beige are traditional and stay visible, suiting a formal entry; green recedes into planting. Burgundy is the unusual one nothing else in this catalogue offers it, and against red brick or a heritage palette it is a considered choice.
