GT-698 Vienna Large Single Head Post Light

The Domus GT-698 Vienna Large single-head tall post is an exterior post light — 2,440 mm high, 164 mm wide, B22, 240 V, IP23, in five colours.

⭐ 2,440 mm and a single head — the proportion is the point

• ⭐ This is the tallest fitting in the VIENNA LARGE range, and it carries one lantern. ⭐ At 164 mm wide it is also the narrowest thing in the range.
• ⭐⭐ A TALL POST WITH A SINGLE SLENDER LANTERN READS AS A LINE RATHER THAN AS AN OBJECT. ⭐ That is a different effect from a twin or triple head, which reads as a candelabra and demands attention.
• ⭐ WHICH MAKES THIS THE ONE TO USE IN A RUN. ⭐ Six single-head posts down a drive is an avenue that recedes; six triple-head posts is overbearing and expensive in both lamps and maintenance.
• ⭐ AT 2.44 m THE LANTERN IS WELL ABOVE HEAD HEIGHT, so it lights a wider area than a low post and puts the source out of the eye-line. ⭐ Light falls off with the square of distance, so a taller post gives broader, softer coverage and less intensity directly beneath.

⭐ Its IP23 is correct — and the family settles the question

• ⭐ Record IP23, sheet IP23. Consistent.
• ⭐⭐ WE MEASURED THE WHOLE VIENNA FAMILY OF 25: ALL 25 DATASHEETS SAY IP23, 20 RECORDS SAY IP23, AND EXACTLY 4 SAY IP43. ⭐ The four are the non-GT-numbered products — two wall brackets and two postlights. ⭐ Every GT-numbered VIENNA product, including this one, records IP23.
• ⭐ SO TREAT THE FAMILY AS IP23. ⭐ IP2X keeps out fingers rather than insects; IPX3 covers spraying water to 60° from vertical, ⛔ not driving rain, hosing or sprinklers.
• ⭐ ON A POST THE HEAD SHELTERS ITS OWN OPENING, so the practical exposure is wind-driven rain. ⚠ A tall post on an open frontage is more exposed to it, because there is less around it to break the wind. ⭐ And check the irrigation layout — at 2.44 m the lantern is above any sprinkler throw, which a low post is not.

⭐ A negative result worth stating: nothing in this range shares dimensions

⭐ We checked whether the VIENNA LARGE products reuse each other's dimensions, because a family of seven related fittings is where copy-pasted figures usually appear — and because batch 79 found two TURIN posts publishing identical dimensions, which turned out to be correct. ⭐⭐ ALL SEVEN VIENNA LARGE PRODUCTS PUBLISH SEVEN DISTINCT DIMENSION SETS. NOTHING IS SHARED. ⭐ The figures on this page are its own. ⭐ Worth recording, because a checked-and-clean result is as useful as a fault when you are deciding what to trust.

⚠ "Large" is a parallel range, not a size option

• ⭐ The VIENNA LARGE uses bracket reference GT-691 and offers fewer arrangements than the standard VIENNA.
• ⭐⭐ DECIDE THE LARGEST ARRANGEMENT YOUR SCHEME NEEDS FIRST, THEN PICK THE FAMILY. ⭐ If you need a twin or triple-head post somewhere, check the Large range offers it before committing the rest of the property to Large fittings.
• ⚠ AND DO NOT MIX THE TWO SIZES ON ONE PROPERTY. ⭐ A Large lantern beside a standard one reads as a mistake rather than a hierarchy — the difference is enough to look wrong and not enough to look deliberate.

⭐ B22, no lamp, and opal at height

⭐ The lamp is not included. ⭐⭐ AT 2.44 m A CLEAR LAMP IS A BRIGHT POINT VISIBLE FROM THE ROAD AND FROM NEIGHBOURING PROPERTIES — ⭐ higher than a hedge or a fence would screen. ⭐ An opal B22 fills the lantern and reads as a glowing object instead. ⭐ Use a globe-shaped lamp sized to fill the body; a compact one sitting low lights the bottom and leaves the top dim, which at this height is the part you see from a distance. ⭐ Warm rather than cool: on a frontage post, cool white reads as institutional.

⚠ Wind load and the footing

⭐ A single lantern at 2.44 m is a smaller sail area than a twin or triple, ⚠ but the height still means leverage on the footing. ⭐ Follow the supplier's footing guidance and treat it as a groundwork item rather than an electrical one — ⚠ a post that leans after two years is a concrete problem, not a lighting one. ⭐ The vulnerable zone for finish damage is the bottom 300 mm, where mowers and edgers reach; keep mulch and soil off the base and touch up chips as they appear.

⛔ Made to order

Allow up to 10 business days for production. ⭐ Published, which is unusual in this catalogue — five colours in a made-to-order range means the finish is applied to your order.

✅ What is published

Where it works

• ⭐⭐ A run down a drive — ⭐ an avenue that recedes.
• ⭐ Open frontages — ⭐ above hedge and fence height.
• ⭐ With VIENNA LARGE brackets at the door — ⭐ one scheme.
• ⚠ Not mixed with standard VIENNA — ⭐ the sizes clash.
• ⚠ Not without a proper footing — ⭐ 2.44 m is leverage.

Specifying it

Single-head exterior post light. 2,440 mm high, 164 mm wide. B22, lamp not included. 220–240 V. IP23. Aluminium. Five colours. Bracket reference GT-691. Made to order, up to 10 business days. 1-year warranty. ⭐ A TALL POST WITH A SINGLE SLENDER LANTERN READS AS A LINE RATHER THAN AS AN OBJECT, which makes it the one to use in a run — six of these down a drive is an avenue that recedes, where six triple-head posts is overbearing and expensive in both lamps and maintenance. ⭐ ITS IP23 IS CORRECT, and the family settles the question: all 25 VIENNA datasheets say IP23, 20 records say IP23, and the only 4 saying IP43 are the non-GT-numbered products. ⭐ WE ALSO CHECKED WHETHER THIS RANGE REUSES DIMENSIONS, since a family of seven related fittings is where copy-pasted figures appear. All seven publish seven distinct sets. Nothing is shared.
