NORLYS Astrid 2206AL LED bollard, light grey RAL 9006, 10.6 W 4000 K, 55 cm, TRIAC dimmable

Astrid 2206AL is a low bollard light, 55 cm tall, with a 14 × 14 cm square cross-section and rounded corners. The body is an extruded aluminium profile with vertical ribs, powder-coated light grey RAL 9006. Behind the ribs at the top sits a milky PMMA diffuser, through which the integrated LED module shines.

Size and installation

The bollard is 55 cm high and its base takes up 14 × 14 cm — compare those two figures with the path edging and the height of the planting in the border where it will stand. It is bolted down through three ø9 mm holes set at 120° intervals on a ø65 mm circle. The concreting anchor (205), ground anchor (206), adapter for a concrete foundation (206S) and mounting adapter (3080GA) are sold separately, so the fixing is chosen to suit the ground and ordered together with the light.

The IP65 rating means protection against dust and water jets, so the bollard stands outdoors with no cover. IK10 is the highest impact-resistance class for the housing, which counts beside a driveway or wherever a lawnmower may knock it.

What light Astrid gives

The LED module shines at 4000 K, a neutral white without the yellow tint of warm bulbs. The source itself produces 1620 lm, but 202 lm leaves the luminaire — the milky diffuser and the ribs hold back the rest. That is orientation light: the bollard marks the edge of a path, terrace or driveway and brightens its immediate surroundings rather than lighting the whole garden.

With several bollards in a row, consistent colour matters: SDCM3 means differences in tint between units are hard to see with the naked eye. The plain ribbed form without ornament suits gardens laid out in a Scandinavian or modern style.

Dimming, wiring and servicing

The driver is built into the luminaire and supports phase dimming (TRIAC) with both trailing-edge (TE) and leading-edge (LE) dimmers. The dimmer belongs to the installation rather than the box. The terminals take conductors up to 2.5 mm² and allow the supply to be looped on to the next light, and the cable entry accepts a cable up to 12.5 mm in diameter. The luminaire is protection class I, so it must be connected to a protective earth.

The luminaire draws 10.6 W. A qualified installer can replace the LED module and the driver, and the manufacturer supplies a service set for this model. The module is rated for more than 70,000 h (L80B50) and the driver for 100,000 h.
