TURIN LARGE POST TOP B22

The Domus TURIN LARGE post top is a post-top exterior lantern — 575 mm high, 80 mm base, B22, 240 V, IP43, in five colours.

⭐⭐ 80 mm at the base — this fits a post you already have

• ⭐ The base is 80 mm, which is a standard post diameter rather than a proprietary fitting.
• ⭐⭐ THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF A POST-TOP: it goes on a column you already own, or on one fabricated to suit, instead of committing you to the range's own complete post.
• ⭐ WHICH MATTERS ON A PROPERTY WITH EXISTING POSTS. ⭐ A gate pier with a column already set, a heritage post whose lantern has failed, a fence post that carries a light — all can take a new lantern without groundwork.
• ⚠ THE THREAD AND THE POST'S OUTSIDE DIAMETER ARE WHAT HAVE TO MATCH, and neither is something you can judge from a photograph. ⭐ Measure the post at its top and send us the figure with a photo of the existing joint. ⭐ A post-top adaptor may be needed — and it is the component most often left off an order.

⭐ 575 mm of lantern and nothing else

• ⭐ This is the lantern alone: 575 mm tall. ⭐ The complete LARGE post is 2,400 mm.
• ⭐⭐ SO THE FINISHED HEIGHT IS YOUR POST PLUS 575 mm, and that arithmetic is worth doing before ordering. ⭐ A 1.2 m pier plus this lantern reads at about 1.8 m — below the range's own post and a different proportion entirely.
• ⭐ ON A TALL EXISTING POST IT CAN OVERSHOOT. ⚠ A 2.4 m column plus a 575 mm lantern is nearly 3 m, which on a domestic frontage is a street-lighting scale.
• ⭐ PROPORTION IS THE TEST. ⭐ A 575 mm lantern reads as generous on a 1.2 m pier, balanced on a 1.8 m one, and small on anything over 2.5 m.

⭐ IP43, and a post top is exposed on all sides

• ⭐ IP43 covers spraying water to 60° from vertical. ⛔ Not driving rain, hosing or sprinklers.
• ⭐⭐ A POST TOP HAS NO EAVE, NO WALL AND NOTHING AROUND IT TO BREAK THE WIND, so wind-driven rain reaches it from every direction and the lantern's own body is its only shelter.
• ⭐ SEAL THE JOINT TO THE POST PROPERLY AT INSTALLATION. ⚠ Water sitting at the base of the lantern, where it meets the column, is what corrodes the fixing — and it is the point nobody inspects.
• ⭐ THE 4 IN IP43 EXCLUDES WIRES AND MOST INSECTS, ⭐ which is better than the VIENNA family's 2 and is what decides whether the lantern fills with insects.

⚠ Cable continuity through the joint

⭐ The supply runs up the post and into the lantern. ⭐⭐ LEAVE ENOUGH SLACK AT THE JOINT TO MAKE THE CONNECTION COMFORTABLY, and dress the cable so it is not pinched as the lantern is threaded home — ⭐ a cable trapped in a thread is a fault that appears months later, when vibration has worn through the insulation. ⭐ Check the cable entry is protected against the aluminium edge and that any grommet is seated before final assembly. ⚠ On an existing post, confirm the cable in it is sound and correctly rated before fitting a new lantern — an old post often has old cable. ⚠ This is an electrician's job.

⭐ B22, no lamp, and opal from every angle

⭐ The lamp is not included. ⭐⭐ A POST-TOP LANTERN IS SEEN FROM EVERY DIRECTION — from the road, the drive, the footpath and from inside the property — which makes the lamp choice more visible than on any wall arrangement. ⭐ A clear or filament lamp is a bright point at the entrance, glary from a car and from the footpath. ⭐ An opal B22 fills the lantern and reads as a glowing object; a globe shape sized to fill the body works better than a compact lamp sitting low. ⭐ Warm rather than cool.

⚠ "Large" is a parallel range

⭐ Bracket reference GT-481, and the LARGE offers only one complete post height. ⭐ Decide the largest arrangement the property needs first, then pick the family. ⚠ Do not mix the two sizes — a Large lantern beside a standard one reads as a mistake rather than a hierarchy.

⛔ Made to order

Allow up to 10 business days for production. ⭐ Five colours applied to order.

✅ What is published

Where it works

• ⭐⭐ Existing posts and piers — ⭐ no groundwork.
• ⭐ Replacing a failed heritage lantern — ⭐ keeping the column.
• ⭐ Piers around 1.2–1.8 m — ⭐ the proportions work.
• ⚠ Not on a post over about 2.5 m — ⭐ street-lighting scale.
• ⚠ Not without confirming the thread — ⭐ send us a photo.
