Firenze 830BL is a complete garden lantern with three heads on curved arms, mounted on a telescopic pole. The cast aluminium body is powder-coated black (RAL 9005), and clear diffusers of UV-stabilised polycarbonate hang beneath the bell-shaped hoods.
Height, size and mounting
The set contains three 8012 heads, the 3040 reducer and the 3010 pole, whose height adjusts from 193 to 256 cm. The arms take up an 80 × 67 cm outline, the figure to compare with the free space around the installation point.
The pole base has three 10.5 mm holes spaced at 120° on a 240 mm circle. The 7668 concrete foundation, the 305 and 306 anchors and the 108 and 6010 adapters are sold separately by Norlys, so you choose how the lantern is set into the ground when you buy it. The terminals take conductors of up to 4 × 2.5 mm² and allow the supply to be looped on to the next lantern, and the supply cable should have an outer diameter of 6 to 12.5 mm. The lantern weighs 12.31 kg net.
Light sources and light distribution
Each of the three heads has an E27 socket and takes an LED lamp in an A55–A60 bulb of up to 9 W. No bulbs are included; you fit and replace them yourself, so colour and brightness depend on your choice. Norlys also offers the lantern with dimmable Philips Master LEDbulb 806 lm / 8.5 W / 2700 K lamps, which means three warm lights, each as bright as an old 60 W incandescent.
The diffusers are clear and 18% of the light goes upwards, which the datasheet expresses as the BUG rating B0-U3-G1: the lantern also lights the tree canopy and the space above it. IP54 means protection against splashing water from any direction, protection class II needs no earth conductor, and the permitted operating temperature is -20 to +45°C.
Where it fits
Norlys intends the Firenze lanterns for gardens and parks, and in our catalogue this one is also listed for terraces, hotels and restaurants. The classic form with curved arms suits paths and driveways where the lantern should be seen in daytime too. A damaged diffuser can be ordered separately as service kit 06370797. The series also includes versions with one head (810) and two heads (820), as well as the white 830WH.
