DOMUS GT-553 Siena Sphere Short Post

The Domus GT-553 Siena is a 250 mm sphere on a short post — 950 mm recorded height, IP43, taking one E27 lamp, in aluminium. Five powder-coated colours.

⛔ This item is made to order

Up to 10 business days for production before it ships. ⭐ The body is powder-coated in your chosen colour after ordering, which is why five colours are offered. ⚠ Order a run together.

✅ "Short" is the one Siena size word you can rely on

• The short posts record 950 mm, and nothing else in the range records that height.
• ⛔ The other size words are not so clean. Single-head medium and tall both record 1,570 mm; twin-head short and medium both record 1,330 mm — ⚠ each of those pairs within a single head count.
• ✅ So on the single-head short posts you can order by name. ⚠ Anywhere else in the Siena range, order by the recorded height.
• ⭐ Ask us to measure one if the height is critical — worth doing before a made-to-order lead time starts.

⭐ 950 mm is a low post, and that decides what it is for

• ⚠ At 950 mm the sphere sits at about waist height — well below eye level.
• ⭐ Which is exactly right for a bed or a border. You look down onto the sphere, so the glare is minimal and the light falls into the planting around it.
• ⭐ And it reads as a garden object rather than a street fitting — a row of low glowing spheres along a path is a different effect entirely from the same spheres at 1.57 m.
• ⚠ It will not light a driveway or an entrance. For that, the 1,570 mm medium post or one of the twin-head arrangements.
• ⚠ Low posts take knocks — mowers, wheelbarrows, car doors. Place it clear of traffic.

⚠ One field worth explaining

The listing records a diameter of “250 mm BALL”. ⚠ That is the sphere, not a post diameter — the value carries a stray tab character and a descriptive word. ⭐ The 250 mm is the sphere size, which is the same figure as the width field. No post diameter is recorded.

⛔ An E27 holder with no maximum wattage, and no footing data

• One E27 lamp, not included, no maximum recorded in any source. ✅ 8–10 W LED, warm at 2700–3000 K, enclosed and damp rated.
• ⭐ At this height a warm lamp matters less for glare and more for the effect — warm light on foliage from a low sphere looks natural where cool light makes planting look grey.
• ⛔ No footing depth, base plate, fixing pattern or wind rating on any Siena post. ⭐ At 950 mm the loading is the mildest in the range, ⚠ but it still goes into concrete — ask us for the detail.

Where it works

• Garden beds and borders, where you look down onto the sphere.
• Path edges, repeated as a low rhythm.
• Formal planting schemes, where a taller post would break the line.
• ⚠ Not to light a driveway or an entrance — use the 1,570 mm post.
• ⚠ Not beside mown grass or a car door without allowing clearance.
