Lund 290CS is an outdoor wall light with a flat, conical steel shade carried on a horizontal arm that projects from a round wall plate. The steel is hot-dip galvanised and powder-coated in a corten-steel colour, a warm rusty brown close to RAL 8011 – a paint colour, not corten steel itself. Under the shade, a clear UV-stabilised polycarbonate lens covers the bulb.
Size and mounting on the facade
Per the manufacturer's drawing, the shade is 32.5 cm across, the light is 24 cm high and projects 42 cm from the wall, on an 11.5 cm wall plate. Check the 42 cm projection against the space beside a door or an opening window. The wall light weighs 1.74 kg.
The fitting is fixed with the mounting box supplied in the set. The terminals take up to 2 × 2.5 mm², or 2 × 1.5 mm² when looping through, so several lights on one wall can share a single cable run. An EPDM gland seals a round cable 7–10.5 mm in diameter. A corner bracket 153, sold separately, lets you mount it on a building corner. The luminaire is protection class II, so it does not need a protective earth conductor.
Bulb and light
The fitting has an E27 socket for an LED bulb of up to 9 W in the A55–A60 shape, the classic pear bulb. The bulb is not included, so you choose its colour and brightness yourself and change it without a service visit. On request, the manufacturer supplies the fitting with a dimmable 806 lm / 8.5 W / 2700 K LED bulb.
The light is open and partly shielded from above: the shade sends most of it down onto the wall and the ground below. A ULOR of 12% means that about one eighth of the light goes above the horizontal plane of the luminaire.
Durability and finish
IP55 means protection against dust and water jets from any direction, so the light can hang on an unsheltered wall. The manufacturer states an operating range of -20 to +45 °C. The hot-dip galvanising under the powder coat protects the steel against corrosion even where the paint gets scratched. The lens can be replaced on its own, as a NORLYS service kit.
NORLYS describes Lund as a Scandinavian-design wall light for general use, suited to an entrance, a facade or a garden wall.
