Domus VIENNA 2LT 2.35M POSTLIGHT B22

The Domus VIENNA 2LT postlight is a twin-head exterior post — 2,350 mm high, 600 × 650 mm footprint, 240 V, in beige, black, burgundy, green or white.

⛔⛔ Its title says B22 and its record says E27

• ⭐ The product title names B22 — a bayonet cap. ⭐ Its own record publishes bulb_type = E27 — an Edison screw. ⭐ These are physically different lamp holders and a lamp for one will not fit the other.
• ⭐⭐ ITS 3LT SIBLING — the same lantern on the same post with a third head — SAYS B22 IN BOTH PLACES. ⭐ Two products from one family, and only this one disagrees.
• ⭐ WE MEASURED HOW COMMON THIS IS: of 87 products naming exactly one lamp base in both their title and their record, 85 agree and 2 do not. ⭐ This is one of the two.
• ⭐ ON A LAMP-HOLDER FITTING THE BASE IS THE ONE SPECIFICATION A BUYER MUST GET RIGHT, ⭐ because the wrong lamp physically will not fit — it is discovered at the top of a ladder, in the dark, with two lamps in a bag.
• ⭐ WE HAVE NOT PUBLISHED A BASE. ⭐ The title, the sibling and the family convention all say B22, which makes it the more likely — but we are not going to state it as fact when the product's own record says otherwise. ⭐ Ask us and we will confirm with Domus before you order lamps.

⛔ And its IP rating disagrees between the two records too

• ⭐ The datasheet says IP23. The product record says IP43. ⭐ The difference is the first digit — the solids rating.
• ⭐ IP2X keeps out objects over 12.5 mm, which is to say fingers. ⭐ IP4X keeps out objects over 1 mm, which is to say wires and most insects.
• ⭐⭐ ON AN EXTERIOR LANTERN THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A FITTING THAT FILLS WITH INSECTS AND ONE THAT DOES NOT. ⭐ It is the commonest complaint about garden lanterns and it is entirely a solids-ingress question. ⭐ The water rating is 3 in both readings — spraying water to 60° from vertical.
• ⭐ WE CHECKED THE CATALOGUE: 421 products let both an IP figure be read, 403 agree and 18 conflict. ⭐⭐ BUT 11 OF THOSE 18 SIT ON PRODUCTS HOLDING MORE THAN ONE DATASHEET, where the figure may have come from a sibling's sheet rather than the product's own. ⭐ NARROWED TO SINGLE-SHEET PRODUCTS, WHERE THE CONFLICT IS UNAMBIGUOUS, THE COUNT IS 7. ⭐ This is one of the 7.
• ⭐ Treat it as IP23 — the more cautious reading — until confirmed.

⭐ Twin-head at 2.35 m — a focal position, not an even run

• ⭐ Two lanterns on one column and base. ⭐⭐ THE SAVING IS THE GROUNDWORK: every post means a footing dug and poured, a conduit run and a cable pulled, and on a driveway that often means cutting and reinstating paving. ⭐ Two heads on one post halves all of it.
• ⚠ THE TRADE IS SPACING. ⭐ Two heads on one post are about 650 mm apart; two separate posts can be metres apart. ⭐ So a twin suits a driveway entrance, a gateway or the head of a path — a point that wants more light — rather than lighting a long run evenly.
• ⚠ THE 600 × 650 mm FOOTPRINT IS THE FIGURE MOST OFTEN OVERLOOKED. ⭐ In a 600 mm garden bed it does not fit, and the footing has to be wider still.
• ⭐ It also catches more wind than a single-head post — two lanterns on arms is a larger sail area — so the footing matters more.

⭐ Two lamps, and they must match

⭐ Two lamps are needed and neither is included. ⭐⭐ ON A TWIN-HEAD POST MATCHING THEM IS NOT OPTIONAL: the lanterns are 650 mm apart and seen together, so any difference in colour temperature or brightness is unmissable. ⭐ Buy them as a pair from the same batch and replace them as a pair — a single replacement three years in will not match its neighbour. ⭐ Opal rather than clear, so the lantern reads as a glowing object from a distance rather than a bright point. ⭐ And warm rather than cool: on a garden post, cool white reads as institutional.

⭐ A separate wall bracket is named on the sheet

⭐ The sheet notes “Requires: Lamp GT-671 Wall Bracket Straight Arm Facing Up”. ⭐ That is the accessory reference for the wall-mounted arrangement of the same lantern rather than something this post needs. ⭐ The VIENNA head, like the TURIN, serves several arrangements — ⭐ so a property can use posts on the drive and brackets at the door and have them read as one scheme. ⭐ Tell us the arrangement you want and we will confirm which parts it takes.

⛔ 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

• ⭐⭐ Driveway entrances and gateways — ⭐ a focal position.
• ⭐ Where groundwork is expensive — ⭐ one footing, not two.
• ⭐ With matching VIENNA brackets elsewhere — ⭐ one scheme.
• ⛔ Not ordered with lamps until the base is confirmed.
• ⚠ Not in a bed under about 800 mm — ⭐ 650 mm base.

Specifying it

Twin-head exterior postlight. 2,350 mm high, 600 × 650 mm footprint. Two lamps required, neither included. 220–240 V. Five colours. Made to order, up to 10 business days. 1-year warranty. ⛔⛔ ITS TITLE SAYS B22 AND ITS RECORD SAYS E27 — physically different lamp holders, where a lamp for one will not fit the other.
