The Domus TURIN 1LT 1.32m postlight is a single-head exteriorpost 1,320mm high, 290290mmfootprint, B22, 240V, IP43, in fivecolours.

1.32 m is below eye level which changes the job

• The TURIN single-head post comes at 1.32, 1.96 and 2.37m. This is the shortest.
• AT 1,320 mm THE LANTERN SITS BELOW EYE LEVEL FOR MOST ADULTS, so you look down at itrather than up. That turns it from an area light into a marker: what it does is definean edge the side of a path, the boundary of a lawn, the line of abed.
• WHICH MAKES IT THE ONE FOR A RUN. Four or five down a path reads as arhythm; the same number at 2.37m reads as an avenue, which is a much heavierstatement.
• IT IS ALSO THE LEAST OBTRUSIVE FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE. A glowing lanternat 1.32m sits below most window sight lines where one at 2.37m is squarely inthem.
• THE TRADE IS COVERAGE. A low post lights a smaller area more intensely, soplan on more of them closer together roughly 3 to 4m apart on a path rather than the 6 to 8 atall post manages.

At this height, exposure changes too

• IP43 covers spraying water to 60 from vertical. Not driving rain, hosing or sprinklers.
• AT 1.32 m THE LANTERN IS WITHIN SPRINKLER RANGE, which a 2.37m post isnot. Check the irrigation layout before setting the post a pop-up aimed upwardreaches further than people expect, and IPX3 does not cover a direct jet.
• IT IS ALSO WITHIN REACH OF MOWERS, EDGERS AND FOOT TRAFFIC. Keep the baseclear of mulch and soil, and expect the bottom 300mm of the post to take the damage touch upchips as they appear rather than at the next repaint.
• THE 290 290 mm FOOTPRINT IS MODEST for this range, which is part of whythe short post suits a planted bed where the twin-head versions at 680mm wouldnot.

One casting, seven arrangements

The TURIN head serves as a wall bracket, pillar mount, post top, pendant, and on single, twinor triple-head posts single at 1.32, 1.96 and 2.37m, twin at 1.49, 2.11 and 2.47m, andtriple at 2.47m. SO A PROPERTY CAN USE SHORT POSTS ALONG A PATH, TALLER ONES ATTHE DRIVE AND A WALL BRACKET AT THE DOOR and have them read as one scheme, because they are literally thesame lantern. Specifying three different products for three positions is the commonalternative and the mismatch always shows. The sheet names GT-421 asthe wall bracket reference for this family.

B22, no lamp, and opal at low level

The lamp is not included. AT 1.32 m THE LANTERN IS AT ROUGHLY CHESTHEIGHT, so a clear or filament lamp is a bright point directly in the view of anyone walking past closer to the eye than on any taller post in the range. An opal B22 fills thelantern and reads as a glowing object. Warm rather than cool: on a garden post, coolwhite reads as institutional. The moulded acrylic lens yellows gradually under UV, so ifthe lantern dims and the lamp is new, check the lens.

Made to order

Allow up to 10 business days for production. Five colours applied toorder. Order a run together so the finish comes from one batch a replacementpost two years later will not match five that have weathered.

What is published

Where it works

• Marking a path or bed edge a rhythm, not an avenue.
• Where a tall post would sit in window sight lines.
• Planted beds a 290mm footprint.
• Not within sprinkler throw check the irrigation first.
• Not spaced like a tall post 34m, not 68.

Specifying it

Single-head exterior postlight. 1,320mm high, 290 290mm footprint. B22, lamp notincluded. 220240V. IP43. Light die-cast aluminium with moulded acrylic lens, made in Italy,powder-coated in Australia. Five colours. Made to order, up to 10 business days. 1-year warranty. AT 1,320 mm THE LANTERN SITS BELOW EYE LEVEL FOR MOST ADULTS, so you look down at it rather thanup and that turns it from an area light into a marker. What it does is define an edge: the side of apath, the boundary of a lawn, the line of a bed. Which makes it the one for a RUN, where four or five readsas a rhythm and the same number at 2.37 m reads as an avenue. THE TRADE IS COVERAGE: a low post lights asmaller area more intensely, so plan roughly 3 to 4 m apart on a path rather than the 6 to 8 a tall postmanages. AND AT THIS HEIGHT IT IS WITHIN SPRINKLER RANGE, which a tall post is not.

Questions

What does the low height change?

The job it does. At 1,320mm the lantern sits below eye level for most adults, so you look down at it rather than up which turns it from an area light into a marker. What it does is define an edge: the side of a path, the boundary of a lawn, the line of a bed.

So where should I use it?

In a run. Four or five down a path reads as a rhythm; the same number at 2.37m reads as an avenue, which is a much heavier statement. It is also the least obtrusive from inside the house a glowing lantern at 1.32m sits below most window sight lines where one at 2.37m is squarely in them.

How far apart?

Closer than a tall post. A low post lights a smaller area more intensely, so plan roughly 3 to 4 metres apart on a path rather than the 6 to 8 a tall post manages. That is the trade for the lower, quieter effect.

Does the height affect exposure?

Yes, and it is worth planning for. IP43 covers spraying water to 60 degrees from vertical, not driving rain, hosing or sprinklers and at 1.32m the lantern is within sprinkler range, which a 2.37m post is not. Check the irrigation layout before setting the post; a pop-up aimed upward reaches further than people expect.

What else is at that height?

Mowers, edgers and foot traffic. Keep the base clear of mulch and soil, and expect the bottom 300mm of the post to take the damage touch up chips as they appear rather than at the next repaint. The 290 x 290mm footprint is modest for this range, which is part of why the short post suits a planted bed where the twin-head versions at 680mm would not.

Can I match it to other fittings?

That is the point of the range. The TURIN head serves as a wall bracket, pillar mount, post top, pendant, and on single, twin or triple-head posts so a property can use short posts along a path, taller ones at the drive and a wall bracket at the door and have them read as one scheme, because they are literally the same lantern.

What lamp should I use?

An opal B22. At 1.32m the lantern is at roughly chest height, so a clear or filament lamp is a bright point directly in the view of anyone walking past closer to the eye than on any taller post in the range. An opal lamp fills the lantern and reads as a glowing object. Warm rather than cool: on a garden post, cool white reads as institutional.
