Norlys Asker 5124GB LED bollard light, 7.2 W 4000 K, 85 cm, beige grey

Asker 5124GB is an 85 cm bollard light with a slim rectangular stem and an L-shaped head that projects to one side. The light comes out beneath this head, pointing down through a clear, textured diffuser of UV-stabilised polycarbonate. The powder-coated cast aluminium body is beige grey.

How big it is and where it fits

The bollard is 85 cm tall, the head 20 cm wide and the whole fitting 11 cm deep – figures to compare with the spot by a path, a driveway or the edge of a terrace. The manufacturer designed it for gardens, private grounds and other architectural uses, and the catalogue lists it for gardens, terraces, driveways and streets. The geometric, unadorned body is a modern shape.

The base is bolted down through four ø8 mm holes spaced 18 × 50 mm apart. No anchoring hardware is included: concrete anchor 1907ZX, ground anchor 1908GA, concrete foundation adapter 1909GA and mounting adapters 3081 and 3090GA are sold separately. The terminals let the supply loop on to the next fitting, so a row of bollards runs from one line, and the gland takes cable from 4 to 13.6 mm in diameter in three ranges.

How much light it gives

The fitting draws 7.2 W and delivers 600 lm – enough to light the path beneath the bollard rather than the whole garden. 4000 K is neutral white, and CRI 80 renders colours correctly for everyday use. The light is directed downwards, and the BUG rating B0-U1-G0 means almost nothing shines upwards or into neighbouring windows.

The fitting can only be dimmed with a trailing-edge (TE) phase dimmer, so check the dimmer type before choosing one. The LED module and electronic driver are built in but replaceable – both are changed by a professional service, and the manufacturer offers separate service kits for them. The module is rated for 52,600 h at L90 and the driver for 50,000 h.

Build

IP65 means the fitting is dust-tight and protected against water jets, so it can stand in the open, and IK10 is the highest impact resistance class. Protection class I requires an earth connection. The gasket is silicone and the cable gland EPDM. The Asker series also includes the lower 5120 version (55 cm), the DALI2-controlled 5125 and the 24 V DC5124.
