NORLYS Lund 290GA outdoor wall light, hot-dip galvanised, E27 IP55

Lund 290GA is an outdoor wall light with a flat, cone-shaped steel shade on a horizontal arm. It is made of hot-dip galvanised steel left unpainted, so it has the matt, silver-grey colour of bare zinc. Beneath the shade sits a clear, UV-stabilised polycarbonate cover that encloses the bulb.

Size and installation

The shade is 32.5 cm across, the fitting projects 42 cm from the wall and stands 24 cm high, and the round wall plate is 11.5 cm in diameter. Compare the 42 cm projection with the free space by the wall, for example the swing of a door leaf. The light weighs 1.74 kg.

It is fixed on the mounting box supplied with it. The producer sells corner bracket 153 separately, which lets the light be mounted on the corner of a building. The terminals take conductors up to 2 × 2.5 mm², and up to 2 × 1.5 mm² when looped through, so several lights on one facade can run off a single supply line; the gland takes round cable of ø7–10.5 mm. The light is protection class II, so it needs no earth conductor.

Light source and distribution

The fitting has an E27 socket and takes an LED bulb of up to 9 W in the A55–A60 shape, the classic pear form. No bulb is included, so you choose the colour temperature and brightness yourself, and the user replaces it. The A55–A60 limit means a larger decorative globe or a long candle bulb may not fit under the cover.

The light is open and partly shielded from above: the cone shade sends most of the light down onto the wall and the ground below the fitting, and a ULOR of 12% means roughly one eighth of the light goes above the level of the fitting. IP55 means protection against dust and water jets, enough for a building wall with no canopy.

Style and use

The producer describes Lund as a wall light of Scandinavian design: the plain cone shade, thin arm and round plate echo traditional workshop lamps, which is also why it counts as vintage and classic. It is intended for facades, balconies and garden walls, including hotels and restaurants. The polycarbonate cover can be replaced – Norlys sells it as service kit 06240003.
