Bollard Light NORLYS Arendal Mini 1561GR graphite RAL 7016 LED 4 W 3000 K 64 cm

NORLYS Arendal Mini 1561GR is a low garden bollard with a square 9 × 9 cm section and a height of 64 cm, topped with a block of crystal glass. The body is made of hot-dip galvanised steel powder-coated in graphite grey RAL 7016, and the 11 cm glass diffuser is satin-finished on the inside.

How much light and what kind

The integrated LED module draws 4 W and produces 439 lm, of which 330 lm leaves the fitting, giving 82.5 lm/W and energy efficiency class E. This is orientation light: it marks the edge of a path, a step or a flower bed rather than lighting a whole driveway. At 3000 K the light is warm white, and CRI 80 means ordinary colour rendering of plants and paving.

The glass glows sideways and upwards: according to the card, 83 % of the flux (ULOR) goes above the horizontal, so the bollard reads from a distance as a glowing point. Where rules limit light directed at the sky, check this figure. The fitting can be dimmed with a phase dimmer, trailing edge (TE) or leading edge (LE).

Lifetime and service

The LED module may only be replaced by a professional service, for which Norlys provides service set ZS1561zx0010. Module life is given as over 59,000 h (L70, meaning 70 % of the initial flux remains after that time), which at three hours a day is more than 50 years. Norlys itself warns that the crystal glass may take on an amber tint over time.

Mounting and connection

64 cm is the height to compare with the plants and edging that will stand next to the bollard. The base is fixed through two ø6.8 mm holes 38 mm apart, and the ground anchor 204GA0009 or the concrete anchor 203ZX0009 is bought separately. The bollard weighs 6.06 kg.

The terminals take conductors up to 2 × 2.5 mm², including when further bollards are looped through, and the round cable may be up to 12.5 mm in diameter. IP65 means a dust-tight housing resistant to water jets, IK06 means impact resistance, and protection class II means no protective earth is needed. The bollard suits gardens, terraces and driveways, including around hotels and restaurants, and its plain square form with a glass top fits modern architecture.
