Nordland outdoor wall lamp 5016 Graphite 7016 Norlys

The NORDLAND 5016 is a square outdoor wall light measuring 28 cm on a side, built around a cast aluminium frame powder-coated in graphite RAL 7016. A milky UV-stabilised polycarbonate pane covers the middle, screwed down at the four corners. The fitting stands 9.5 cm clear of the wall.

Where it goes and what the wiring needs

The flat 28 × 28 cm body suits a wall as readily as a ceiling — the maker describes it as a wall and ceiling luminaire. It fixes through two ø5 mm holes spaced 150 × 170 mm, and at 2.25 kg ordinary plugs for masonry or concrete are enough.

The fitting belongs to protection class I, so connecting it requires an earth conductor. The terminals take conductors up to 3 × 2.5 mm², and the option of carrying 3 × 1.5 mm² onward allows a loop through to the next fitting — a row along a facade then runs on one supply line instead of one per light. The gland accepts a round cable 7–10.5 mm across.

How much light it gives and of what kind

594 lm leave the fitting at 4000 K, a neutral white with no yellow cast — a brightness comparable to an old 50 W bulb. The milky pane spreads that light across the full 28 × 28 cm face, so the luminaire reads as an even plane rather than a point.

The LED module is integrated: it is not swapped like a bulb, but it is not lost with the fitting either — Norlys stocks a service kit for it and a qualified technician does the change. The maker rates the module beyond 59,000 hours to a 30% drop in output, with a colour rendering index of Ra 80.

Dimming and how tough the housing is

It dims by phase control (TRIAC) on both edges — trailing edge TE and leading edge LE. It will therefore work with an RC dimmer and with an older R/RL one, which in many existing installations is already in the wall box.

An IP65 rating means a dust-tight housing that withstands a jet of water from a nozzle, and IK10 is the top impact class on that scale. A silicone gasket and the EPDM gland close the housing where the cable passes through.
