DOMUS PARIS PILLAR MOUNT B22

The Domus PARIS PILLAR MOUNT is a lantern for the top of a masonry pillar — 500 mm high, die-cast aluminium and moulded acrylic, IP43, 1 × B22, in five colours.

⭐ The thing to settle before the bricklayer starts

• ⭐ A pillar mount sits on top of a masonry pillar — a gate pier, a fence pillar, a letterbox column. ⭐ Which means the cable has to come UP THROUGH the masonry.
• ⚠ That is not something you add later. ⭐ A conduit through a rendered brick pier has to be built in, ⭐ and retro-fitting one means either chasing the face or surface-mounting cable up the outside — ⚠ both of which undo the reason for choosing a pillar light.
• ⭐ So the sequence matters: decide the light, tell the bricklayer, then build. ⭐ A 25 mm conduit from the footing to the top of the pier costs almost nothing at construction and is effectively impossible afterwards.
• ⛔ Nothing on this listing says any of that, ⚠ and it is the single most consequential thing about the product.
• ⭐ Also worth building in: a draw wire, so the cable can be replaced without opening anything.

⭐ Pillar mount, post top or postlight — which one you need

⭐ At 500 mm high it is the tallest of the three lantern-only options — ⚠ which suits a pier, because a pier is usually wide and a short lantern on a wide base looks squat. ⭐ On a 350 mm square pier, a 500 mm lantern reads as proportionate.

⚠ IP43 on a gate pier

⭐ Spray to 60° from vertical only. ✅ Rain is fine. ⛔ A garden sprinkler aimed at the driveway is not, ⚠ and a pier beside a lawn is exactly where a sprinkler head tends to sit. ⭐ Check the irrigation layout as well as the cable.

⛔ It arrives without a globe

⭐ “Requires: 1 × B22 Globe (not included).” ⭐ Bayonet, like the rest of the range except the half wall bracket. ⛔ No maximum wattage published. ⭐ Prefer LED in an enclosed acrylic lantern.

Where it works

• ⭐ Gate piers and entry pillars — ⭐ with a conduit built in.
• Letterbox columns and fence pillars.
• ⭐ Wide piers — ⭐ 500 mm reads as proportionate.
• ⛔ Not on an existing pier without a cable route.
• ⛔ Not in sprinkler throw — ⚠ IP43.
