The Domus PARIS HALF WALL BRACKET is a flush outdoor walllight 390mm high, die-cast aluminium and mouldedacrylic, IP43, 1 E27, in five colours.

It takes E27. Every other Paris fitting takes B22.

• We checked all fourteen Paris listings. Eleven take B22 everypostlight, both S-arm wall brackets, the pillar mount and the post top. This one takesE27.
• B22 is the bayonet base push and twist. E27 is the screwbase. They do not interchange in either direction.
• The trap is specific and predictable: someone lighting a property in one visual range buysone type of globe. Two posts, an S-arm bracket and this one, and three of the four takeB22. The half bracket is the one that will be sitting dark on handover day.
• Nothing about it is wrong E27 is a perfectly good base, and arguably the better one,since LED replacements in E27 are more widely stocked. It is the INCONSISTENCY thatcatches people, not the choice.
• Order 1 E27 with this bracket, and B22 for everything else Paris. Tell us the full list and we will get the globes right.

What a half bracket is, and where it belongs

The S-arm brackets in this range hold the lantern out from the wall on a curved arm. A HALF bracket cuts the lantern in half against the wall face so itprojects 150mm rather than 275mm, and reads as part of the wall rather than an object onit.

• That matters in three places. Beside a door where a projecting lanternwould be knocked; along a narrow path or a boundary where 275mm of projection isan obstruction; and on a wall seen at an angle, where a half fitting keeps aclean line.
• The trade is light distribution. A lantern held out from the wall throwslight down AND outward; a half lantern washes the wall and throws less forward so it lights the wall well and the path in front of it less.
• Use it for presence and wayfinding, not for lighting a working area.

IP43 rain, not hosing

Protection against solid objects above 1mm and water sprayed to 60 fromvertical. An exposed wall in rain is fine. Sprinkler throw andhosing are not covered. At 390mm above ground-floor door height it will notusually be in either.

Where it works

• Beside doors and in narrow passages 150mm of projection.
• Boundary and courtyard walls.
• Where a clean wall line matters more than throw.
• Not with a B22 globe this one is E27.
• Not to light a working area it washes the wall.

Specifying it

Half outdoor wall bracket. H390 W150 L245mm. Die-cast aluminium withmoulded acrylic lens. IP43. 240V AC. 1 E27 lamp required, not included. Made in Italy, assembled andpowder coated in Australia. Five colours. 12-month replacement warranty. Made to order, allow up to 10business days. IT TAKES E27 AND EVERY OTHER PARIS FITTING TAKES B22 measured across all fourteen listings:eleven B22, this one E27. The trap is predictable: someone lighting a property in one visual range buysone type of globe, and this is the fitting sitting dark on handover day. It is the INCONSISTENCY thatcatches people, not the choice E27 is arguably the better base. A HALF BRACKET projects 150mm againstthe S-arm’s 275mm, so it washes the wall and throws less forward.

Questions

What globe does it take?

E27 screw base and it is the only Paris fitting that does. We checked all fourteen Paris listings: eleven take B22 bayonet, including every postlight, both S-arm wall brackets, the pillar mount and the post top. This one takes E27, and they do not interchange in either direction.

Why does that matter?

Because the trap is specific and predictable. Someone lighting a property in one visual range buys one type of globe two posts, an S-arm bracket and this one, and three of the four take B22. The half bracket is the one that will be sitting dark on handover day. Tell us the full list of Paris fittings you are ordering and we will get the globes right.

Is E27 a worse choice?

No, and arguably the better one LED replacements in E27 are more widely stocked than B22. Nothing about the fitting is wrong. It is the inconsistency within the range that catches people, not the base itself.

What is a “half” bracket?

The S-arm brackets in this range hold the lantern out from the wall on a curved arm. A half bracket cuts the lantern in half against the wall face, so it projects 150mm rather than 275mm and reads as part of the wall rather than an object on it.

Where does that help?

Three places. Beside a door where a projecting lantern would be knocked. Along a narrow path or boundary where 275mm of projection is an obstruction. And on a wall seen at an angle, where a half fitting keeps a clean line rather than interrupting it.

What is the trade-off?

Light distribution. A lantern held out from the wall throws light down and outward; a half lantern washes the wall and throws less forward so it lights the wall well and the path in front of it less. Use it for presence and wayfinding rather than for lighting a working area.

How weatherproof is it?

IP43 protection against solid objects above 1mm and water sprayed at up to 60 degrees from vertical. An exposed wall in rain is fine; sprinkler throw and hosing are not covered. At 390mm above ground-floor door height it will not usually be in either, which makes IP43 less of a constraint here than on a post at ground level.
