NORLYS Vasa 120WH outdoor wall light, white RAL 9003, E27, up/down light, IP65

Vasa 120WH is a NORLYS outdoor wall light with a half-round body in white RAL 9003. The powder-coated cast aluminium housing has clear structured polycarbonate lenses on top and underneath, so it lights in both directions at once.

How big it is and how it mounts

The light is 31 cm wide and 12.5 cm tall and projects 15.5 cm from the wall. It weighs 2.35 kg. It fixes either through an intermediate plate with two 5 × 10 mm adjustment slots 45 mm apart, or directly with two screws through ø5 mm holes 68 mm apart. The terminals take conductors up to 3 × 2.5 mm² and allow the supply to loop on to the next fitting with up to 3 × 1.5 mm²; the gland suits round cable 7–10.5 mm in diameter. As a class I fitting it needs an earth connection.

What light it gives

Light leaves as a band upwards and downwards, brightening the wall above and below the fitting, and half the output goes above the light (ULOR 50%). The maker intends it for lighting walls, façades and architectural details. It has an E27 socket for LED lamps up to 9 W in an A55–A60 shape; the lamp is not included and is user-replaceable. Norlys also offers a version with a Philips Master LEDbulb 806 lm / 8.5 W / 2700 K, about the brightness of an old 60 W bulb in a warm colour. The fitting has no electronics of its own, so dimming depends on the lamp and the dimmer.

Build and durability

IP65 means dust-tight and protected against water jets, so it can hang on a wall without shelter, and IK08 indicates raised impact resistance. The lenses are UV-stabilised, a silicone gasket and an EPDM gland keep it sealed, and the maker lists the gasket as a spare part.
