The Domus GT-695 Vienna Large curved-arm downward wall light is awall-mounted exterior lantern 600mm high,300mm projection and width, B22, 240V,IP23, in five colours.

A curved arm with the lantern hung beneath the combination is the point

• The VIENNA LARGE offers this as well as the straight-arm GT-692 downward bracket and theupward GT-691.
• THE CURVE IS WHAT MAKES A DOWNWARD LANTERN LOOK TRADITIONAL. A straightarm with a lantern hung under it reads as functional; a curved arm reads as a period fitting, because thecurve is what the original gas brackets had.
• SO THIS IS THE ONE THAT GIVES YOU BOTH: the considerate orientation and the traditionalsilhouette. On a heritage frontage where an upward lantern would spill light over aboundary, that combination is exactly what is wanted.
• AND THE DOWNWARD ORIENTATION IS THE CONSIDERATE ONE. Nothing goes intothe sky, the lantern body shades the source from anyone looking at the wall from a distance, and lightlands on the ground where it is useful rather than on the wall above thefitting.

300 mm projection check what opens

• It projects 300mm from the wall and hangs600mm below the fixing.
• THAT IS ENOUGH TO CATCH A DOOR, A GATE, OR SOMEONE CARRYING SOMETHING PAST. Check the swing of anything near it and the width of the pathbeneath.
• A USEFUL MOUNTING HEIGHT IS AROUND 2.02.2m to the fixing, putting the lantern bottomnear 1.41.6m above head height and below the point where light stops beinguseful on the ground.
• MOUNT THEM AT A CONSISTENT HEIGHT ALONG A FACADE. Unevenly set bracketsare conspicuous at night in a way they never are on a drawing, because each one throws a visible pool andthe pools do not line up.
• A CURVED ARM ALSO NEEDS MORE CLEARANCE THAN ITS PROJECTION SUGGESTS the arc reaches its widest partway out, so a straight measurement from the wallunderstates what it sweeps past.

IP23, and why downward helps on a wall

• Record IP23, sheet IP23, and consistent with the family:all 25 VIENNA datasheets say IP23, 20 of 25 records agree, and only 4 non-GT-numbered products sayIP43.
• IP2X keeps out fingers rather than insects; IPX3 covers spraying water to 60 fromvertical. Not driving rain, hosing or sprinklers.
• ON A WALL FITTING THAT IS MORE CONSTRAINING THAN ON A POST, because a wall channels waterdown its face and rain arrives at the bracket from directly above.
• THE DOWNWARD ORIENTATION HELPS SUBSTANTIALLY. The lantern hangs beneaththe arm, so its own body sheds water away from the opening rather than collecting it which is why adownward bracket outlasts an upward one on an exposed elevation.
• MOUNT IT UNDER AN EAVE OR ON A WALL THAT IS NOT THE WEATHER SIDE IF YOUCAN. On a fully exposed elevation expect water to find it eventually, and check the sealsas part of any maintenance.

“Large” is a parallel range, not a size option

Bracket reference GT-691, fewer arrangements than the standardVIENNA. DECIDE THE LARGEST ARRANGEMENT YOUR SCHEME NEEDS FIRST, THEN PICK THEFAMILY. Do not mix the two sizes on one property a Large lantern beside astandard one reads as a mistake rather than a hierarchy. Replacement panels are theGTA-691 (Large) set, which does not interchange with the standard GTA-671. Note also that this range offers two downward brackets, this curved one and thestraight-arm GT-692 pick one and use it throughout, because the two arms side by side on a facadelook unresolved.

B22, no lamp, and opal at a door

The lamp is not included. ON A WALL BRACKET THE LANTERN IS AT OR NEAREYE LEVEL FOR ANYONE APPROACHING THE DOOR, so a clear or filament lamp is a bright point directly in theirview. An opal B22 fills the lantern and reads as a glowing object. On the Large lantern that matters more, because a small bright source inside a big diffuser lookswrong. Warm rather than cool: at an entrance, cool white reads as institutional andunwelcoming.

What is published

Where it works

• Heritage frontages near a boundary period look, no spill.
• Exposed elevations the downward body sheds water.
• Entrances light on the ground, not the sky.
• Not near a door or gate swing the arc sweeps wide.
• Not mixed with the straight-arm GT-692 pick one arm.

Specifying it

Exterior wall bracket, curved arm, downward, LARGE lantern. 600mm high, 300mmprojection and width. B22, lamp not included. 220240V. IP23. Aluminium. Five colours. Bracketreference GT-691. Made to order, up to 10 business days. 1-year warranty. THE CURVE IS WHAT MAKES A DOWNWARD LANTERN LOOK TRADITIONAL. A straight arm with a lantern hungunder it reads as functional; a curved arm reads as a period fitting, because the curve is what theoriginal gas brackets had. So this is the one that gives you both the considerate orientation and thetraditional silhouette which on a heritage frontage near a boundary is exactly what is wanted. CHECKTHE 300 mm PROJECTION AGAINST WHAT OPENS, and note that a curved arm needs more clearance than itsprojection suggests: the arc reaches its widest partway out, so a straight measurement from the wallunderstates what it sweeps past.

Questions

What does the curved arm change?

How it reads. A straight arm with a lantern hung under it looks functional; a curved arm looks like a period fitting, because the curve is what the original gas brackets had. So this is the one that gives you both the considerate downward orientation and the traditional silhouette.

Why is downward the considerate orientation?

Nothing goes into the sky, the lantern body shades the source from anyone looking at the wall from a distance, and light lands on the ground where it is useful rather than on the wall above the fitting. On a heritage frontage near a boundary, where an upward lantern would spill light over the line, that is exactly what is wanted.

How much clearance does it need?

More than its 300mm projection suggests. A curved arm reaches its widest partway out, so a straight measurement from the wall understates what it sweeps past. Check the swing of any door or gate near it and the width of the path beneath.

How high should I mount it?

Around 2.0 to 2.2 metres to the fixing, which puts the lantern bottom near 1.4 to 1.6m above head height and below the point where light stops being useful on the ground. Mount them at a consistent height along a facade: unevenly set brackets are conspicuous at night in a way they never are on a drawing, because each one throws a visible pool and the pools do not line up.

Is IP23 enough on a wall?

It is more constraining on a wall than on a post, because a wall channels water down its face and rain arrives at the bracket from directly above. The downward orientation helps substantially the lantern hangs beneath the arm so its own body sheds water away from the opening rather than collecting it, which is why a downward bracket outlasts an upward one on an exposed elevation. Mount it under an eave or off the weather side if you can.

This range has two downward brackets. Which?

Either, but pick one and use it throughout. The curved GT-695 and the straight-arm GT-692 do the same job with different silhouettes, and the two arms side by side on a facade look unresolved. Choose the curve for period frontages and the straight arm where a quieter fitting suits.

What lamp should I use?

An opal B22. On a wall bracket the lantern is at or near eye level for anyone approaching the door, so a clear or filament lamp is a bright point directly in their view. On the Large lantern that matters more, because a small bright source inside a big diffuser looks wrong. Warm rather than cool at an entrance, cool white reads as institutional.
