Lighting pole TRYSIL 1015BL black LED 40W 4000K DALI2 300 cm Norlys

The TRYSIL 1015BL is a complete lighting pole: the three-metre shaft and the two arms carrying the luminaire heads are one product, not a fitting for which a pole has to be bought separately. It is built from extruded aluminium profile powder-coated in black RAL 9005, with clear, structured and UV-stabilised polycarbonate covers.

Size and what has to be bought alongside

The pole stands 300 cm tall, the arms span 118 cm, the depth is 24 cm and the weight 23.3 kg. Three metres is the height from which the light covers a wide band of surface, so compare it with the length of the path or driveway to be lit when you set the spacing between poles.

The pole sits on a base plate and is erected according to the assembly instructions supplied with it. The manufacturer states that other accessories must be purchased separately — the foundation, anchors and fixing hardware are not part of the delivery. The terminals take conductors up to 5 × 4 mm², and the luminaire can be looped through with up to 5 × 2.5 mm² in a cable up to 13.6 mm in outside diameter, so a run of poles along a road works off one supply circuit. The product is protection class I, so the installation needs an earth conductor.

How much light it gives and what controls it

Four LED modules with a DALI electronic driver sit in the heads. The modules alone produce 6648 lm; after the covers and optics the whole pole delivers 4145 lm at 40 W, which is 103.6 lm/W. 4000 K is neutral white, and Ra 80 is enough for footpaths and driveways.

The distribution is hemispherical and directed downwards, with 0.4 per cent of the flux emitted above the horizontal — practically all of the light reaches the surface rather than the sky. Control is over DALI2, so dimming needs a DALI controller or gateway; an ordinary phase dimmer on the supply circuit will not do it.

Build and service life

IP65 means full protection against dust and resistance to water jets, while IK10 covers impacts of up to 20 J — the level intended for luminaires standing in public places. Extruded aluminium profile with a powder coating and a silicone gasket close the housing.

The manufacturer rates the LED modules at 102 000 h for L80 and 52 600 h for L90. The LED module and the control gear are changed by a professional only, and the model has its own service kit, ZS1039zx0009, so the pole does not become scrap when the light eventually fails.
