The Domus MONACO is a 2.4metre single-head post light 2,380mm tall, die-cast aluminium with a moulded acrylic lens, takingone E27 globe, in beige, black, burgundy, green or white. Made in Italy,assembled and powder coated in Australia.

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.

IP43 read this before you put one in an opendriveway. IP43 protects against solid objects over 1mm and spraying water downto 60 from vertical. On a fully exposed post light that is a low rating,and it is worth being direct about:

• Water arriving from above ordinary rain is within it.
• Driving rain arrives closer to horizontal, which is outside 60. On an open,wind-exposed site this fitting is working at the edge of its rating.
• Not for hosing, coastal spray or sprinkler overspray.

If the position is genuinely exposed, ask us for an IP44 or IP65 alternative beforeyou order. That is a cheaper conversation than a failed fitting on a 2.4metre post.

It is one head in a modular system and that is the reason to look at it

The MONACO head is not tied to this post. The same lantern is offered as:

• A wall bracket, on a curved arm.
• A post pendant, hanging rather than sitting.
• A single, twin or triple head on posts of1.35m, 1.98m, 2.35m or 2.40m.

That lets one lantern run through a whole property brackets either side ofthe front door, a twin head at the gate, singles down the drive which is what makes an exteriorscheme read as designed rather than assembled. Tell us the configuration you want and we willquote it.

2.4 metres what that height is for

• It lights the space, not just the ground. At this height the pool is wide and soft,and a driveway or forecourt reads as lit rather than dotted.
• It is a landscape object by day as much as a light by night which is whythe finish choice matters more here than on a low bollard.
• Wind load and footing both matter at 2.4m. Talk to your electrician aboutthe base before you set out.
• At 650650mm across the head it is a substantial fitting.Check it against a narrow entry.

Choosing the globe not supplied

• One E27. Behind a moulded acrylic lens the globe is diffused, so shape does notmatter brightness and colour do.
• Warm 27003000K. Cool white on a driveway reads institutional.
• Around 8001,200lm suits a lantern at this height enough to makethe pool useful without turning the lantern into a glare source down the street.
• Rated for enclosed fixtures and outdoor use.

Five finishes, including one nothing else offers

• Black the modern default; the post disappears at night.
• White and beige traditional and visible by day, which suits a formalapproach.
• Green recedes into planting and hedging.
• Burgundy unusual, and against red brick or a heritage house it is aconsidered choice rather than a default.

Powder coated in Australia, which is worth knowing: the coating is what protectsaluminium outdoors, and a locally applied finish is easier to match if a section is ever replaced.

Warranty is one year, shorter than most of thiscatalogue and worth weighing on a fitting that stands in the open.220240V mains licensed electrician, a circuit run out to theposition, and trenching.

Where it works

• Driveways, forecourts and approaches where a bollard would be too low.
• Traditional and heritage houses particularly in burgundy, beige or green.
• As part of a matched scheme with MONACO wall brackets and twin-head posts.
• IP43 ask us if the site is open and wind-exposed.
• Globe not supplied; check footing and wind load at 2.4m.

Questions

Is IP43 enough for an open driveway?

It is working at the edge of its rating. IP43 covers spraying water down to 60 from vertical, so ordinary rain from above is fine but driving rain arrives closer to horizontal, which is outside it, and it is not rated for hosing, coastal spray or sprinkler overspray. On an open, wind-exposed site, ask us for an IP44 or IP65 alternative before you order. That is a cheaper conversation than a failed fitting on a 2.4-metre post.

Can I get the same lantern in other configurations?

Yes, and it is the reason to look at this range. The same head comes as a wall bracket on a curved arm, as a post pendant, and as a single, twin or triple head on posts of 1.35, 1.98, 2.35 or 2.40 metres. That lets one lantern run through a whole property brackets either side of the door, a twin head at the gate, singles down the drive. Tell us the configuration and we will quote it.

Does it come with a globe?

No. One E27. Behind the moulded acrylic lens the globe is diffused so its shape does not matter brightness and colour do. Warm 27003000K, around 800 to 1,200 lumens, and rated for enclosed fixtures and outdoor use.

Why choose a 2.4-metre post over a bollard?

Height changes what the light does. At 2.4 metres the pool is wide and soft, so a driveway or forecourt reads as lit rather than dotted a bollard marks the edge, a post light fills the space. It is also a landscape object by day, which is why the finish choice matters more here.

What do I need to think about for the footing?

Wind load and footing both matter at 2.4 metres, and the head is 650mm across, which is substantial. Talk to your electrician about the base before you set out, and check the head against a narrow entry.

Which finish should I choose?

Black is the modern default and disappears at night; white and beige are traditional and stay visible by day, which suits a formal approach; green recedes into planting. Burgundy is unusual against red brick or a heritage house it is a considered choice rather than a default.

Where is it made?

The die-cast aluminium and moulded acrylic components are made in Italy, and it is assembled and powder coated in Australia. The local coating is worth knowing: the finish is what protects aluminium outdoors, and it is easier to match if a section is ever replaced.
