NORLYS Lillehammer 2280GR outdoor wall light, graphite RAL 7016, LED 9 W 4000 K, up-down, DALI-2

NORLYS Lillehammer 2280 is an outdoor wall light shaped as a plain, unornamented cuboid that shines up and down at the same time. The body is powder-coated cast aluminium in graphite, RAL 7016, and the light openings at the top and bottom are closed with clear safety glass and a silicone gasket.

Dimensions and mounting

The fitting is 18.5 cm high and 8 cm wide, and it projects 11 cm from the wall. It is screwed on through two ø5 mm holes spaced 45 × 130 mm apart. The manufacturer designed it for lighting walls and facades, so it is usually fitted as several units in a row along a wall.

What light it gives

One side emits a narrow 4° beam and the other a wide 60° beam, and the fitting can be mounted either way round — narrow beam up and wide beam down, or the reverse. On the wall this creates a thin line of light on one side and a broader fan on the other. 4000 K is a neutral white, and CRI 80 renders facade colours without noticeable distortion.

The 5.6 W LED module produces 1008 lm, but 127 lm leaves the fitting at a consumption of 9 W. This is accent light that draws a pattern on the wall, not lighting for a whole driveway or yard.

Control, power supply and service

The fitting is controlled and dimmed via DALI-2, so a DALI controller and two bus conductors are needed for dimming. The terminals take up to 5 × 1.5 mm² and allow the supply and bus to be looped on to the next fitting; a round-sheathed cable of 7–10.5 mm diameter fits. Inrush current is 6.7 A for 2.4 µs, which is why the manufacturer states the maximum number of fittings per circuit breaker: 46 on B10, 74 on B16, 74 on C10 and 119 on C16.

This is a protection class I fitting and must be connected to the protective earth. IP65 means fully dust-tight and protected against water jets, and IK08 means resistance to an impact of 5 J. The LED module and driver are replaced by a professional service, and the manufacturer supplies a service kit for them. Module lifetime is over 52,600 h to a 10% drop in output (L90), and the driver is rated at 50,000 h.
