Norlys Lillehammer 2274GR outdoor wall light, graphite, LED 4.5 W, narrow downward beam, DALI, IP65

Lillehammer 2274GR is an outdoor wall light shaped as a slim rectangular block of cast aluminium, powder-coated in graphite (RAL 7016). Light leaves through a clear safety-glass window as a narrow 4° beam aimed downwards, drawing a vertical streak of light on the façade.

Size and installation

The fitting is 18.5 cm high and 8 cm wide, projects 11 cm from the wall and weighs 1.6 kg net. Compare the 8 cm width with the pier or the strip of wall between windows where the light is to hang.

It fixes through two ø5 mm holes spaced 45 × 130 mm apart. It is protection class I, so it needs an earth conductor. The terminals take conductors up to 5 × 1.5 mm² and allow the supply to be looped on to the next fitting, and the gland takes round cable 7–10.5 mm in diameter. Norlys states that up to 74 of these fittings can run on one B16 circuit breaker (B10: 46, C10: 74, C16: 119) – the figures that decide how many lights fit on a single circuit along a façade.

What light it gives

The source is an integrated LED module at 3000 K – warm white – with colour rendering of Ra 80, and the fitting draws 4.5 W. With a beam this narrow, 15 lm leaves the fitting: this is accent lighting that brings out the texture of the masonry and sets the rhythm of a façade, not lighting for a doorway or path. A ULOR of 0% means no light escapes upwards into the sky.

Colour consistency of SDCM3 keeps several fittings in a row at practically the same shade. Control is via DALI-2 – dimming and programmed scenes need an installation with a DALI controller. Norlys rates the driver at 50,000 hours and the LED module at more than 102,000 hours (L80).

Where it fits

IP65 means a dust-tight housing protected against water jets, and IK08 resistance to impacts of up to 5 J, so the light can hang on an exposed façade. The maker intends it for lighting walls, façades and architectural details. The plain geometric body without ornament belongs to the Scandinavian style the Norwegian brand comes from.
