GT-690 Vienna Large Exterior Pendant Light

The Domus GT-690 Vienna Large exterior pendant is a hung exterior lantern — 770 mm overall, 164 mm wide, B22, 240 V, IP23, in five colours.

⚠ 770 mm overall — measure the soffit before you order

• ⭐ This is the tallest hung lantern in the VIENNA range at 770 mm overall against the standard chain pendant's 670.
• ⭐⭐ THAT EXTRA 100 mm IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FITTING AND NOT FITTING ON A LOW PORCH.
  • ⭐ From a 2.7 m soffit the lantern bottom sits near 1.93 m — clear.
  • ⚠ From a 2.4 m soffit it sits near 1.63 m — head height for most adults.
• ⭐ MEASURE THE SOFFIT, NOT THE CEILING INSIDE. ⚠ Porch and verandah soffits are often lower than the internal ceiling, and they are rarely what people picture when they choose a pendant.
• ⭐ IF THE HEIGHT IS TIGHT, THE STANDARD VIENNA CHAIN PENDANT IS 100 mm SHORTER, or the GT-692 wall bracket puts the same lantern beside the door instead of above it.

⭐ The one VIENNA arrangement that needs a ceiling

• ⭐ Every other VIENNA arrangement attaches to something vertical — a wall, a pier, a post. ⭐ This one hangs from something horizontal.
• ⭐⭐ SO IT IS THE ANSWER FOR COVERED OUTDOOR SPACES: a porch, a portico, a verandah, a covered entry. ⭐ Positions where a wall bracket has no wall in the right place and a post has no ground.
• ⭐ IT ALSO PUTS LIGHT WHERE PEOPLE ACTUALLY STAND — ⭐ directly above a doorway rather than beside it, which lights the threshold, the lock and whoever is at the door evenly rather than from one side.
• ⭐ AT 164 mm WIDE IT IS ALSO SLENDER FOR ITS HEIGHT — ⭐ a tall narrow lantern rather than a bulky one, which suits a portico where a wide fitting would crowd.

⭐ IP23, and why a covered position is not optional here

• ⭐ IP2X keeps out fingers, not insects. IPX3 covers spraying water to 60° from vertical. ⛔ Not driving rain.
• ⭐⭐ ON A PENDANT THAT IS THE BINDING CONSTRAINT, because a hanging lantern has no wall or body sheltering it from above — rain falls straight onto the top of it. ⭐ The wall brackets and posts in this family have geometry protecting them; a pendant does not.
• ⭐ WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY THIS ARRANGEMENT BELONGS UNDER COVER. ⭐ Under a soffit, the roof does the work the IP rating does not. ⛔ Do not hang it in an open position on the strength of the family being “exterior”.
• ⭐ ITS IP23 RECORD IS CORRECT, and it is one of 20 VIENNA products that record IP23 against 4 that record IP43. ⭐ All 25 family sheets say IP23, so treat the whole range as IP23.

⭐ B22, no lamp, and opal is close to essential

⭐ The lamp is not included. ⭐⭐ A PENDANT IS THE ONE ARRANGEMENT WHERE PEOPLE LOOK UP INTO THE LANTERN, because it is above them. ⭐ A clear or filament lamp is directly in the eye-line of anyone standing at the door and looking up — which is what people do while waiting for it to open. ⭐ An opal B22 is close to essential here rather than merely preferable. ⭐ On a 770 mm lantern the diffuser volume is substantial, so a globe-shaped lamp sized to fill it works better than a compact one sitting low in the body. ⭐ Warm rather than cool: at an entrance, cool white reads as institutional.

⚠ "Large" is a parallel range

⭐ 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. ⚠ 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, and on a pendant the size difference is particularly visible because it hangs at eye level.

⛔ Made to order

✅ What is published

Where it works

• ⭐⭐ Porticos and deep porches — ⭐ with 2.7 m or more.
• ⭐ Directly above a doorway — ⭐ even light on the threshold.
• ⭐ Narrow covered entries — ⭐ 164 mm is slender.
• ⛔ Not in an open position — ⭐ rain falls onto it.
• ⛔ Not under a 2.4 m soffit — ⭐ 1.63 m is head height.

Specifying it

Hung exterior lantern, LARGE. 770 mm overall, 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. ⚠ AT 770 mm IT IS 100 mm TALLER THAN THE STANDARD VIENNA CHAIN PENDANT, AND THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FITTING AND NOT FITTING. From a 2.7 m soffit the lantern bottom sits near 1.93 m and is clear; from a 2.4 m soffit it sits near 1.63 m, which is head height for most adults. Measure the soffit, not the ceiling inside — porch and verandah soffits are often lower than the internal ceiling and are rarely what people picture. ⭐ ITS IP23 WORKS ONLY BECAUSE OF THE ROOF: a hanging lantern has nothing sheltering it from above, so do not hang it in the open on the strength of the family being "exterior".
