The Sol 4052GR is an outdoor ceiling light shaped as a low cylinder, 20 cm in diameter and 11 cm high. Its body of extruded aluminium profile and aluminium alloy is powder-coated in graphite RAL 7016. A clear UV-stabilised polycarbonate diffuser closes the underside, and the light comes from a built-in Philips Fortimo LED module with the driver inside the fitting — no separate bulb or transformer to buy.
How much light it gives
The LED module produces 2499 lm, and 2421 lm leaves the fitting at 19.1 W, i.e. 126.8 lm/W. For comparison, an old 60 W bulb gave about 800 lm. 4000 K is neutral white, without the yellowish tint of warm light.
The clear diffuser does not scatter the light, so almost all of the module's flux leaves the fitting — 2421 of 2499 lm. The light falls symmetrically downwards, and a ULOR of 0.3% means only a negligible share of the flux goes above the fitting. A colour rendering index of CRI 80 keeps colours looking natural.
Dimming and servicing
It can be dimmed with a phase-cut dimmer of either type, trailing edge (TE) or leading edge (LE), so it works with both kinds of phase dimmer.
The LED module and driver are replaced only by a professional service, for which Norlys provides an LED service kit (ZS4044ZX0009) and a driver service kit (ZS4046ZX0009). Rated module life is L70 over 50,000 hours, which at 3 hours a day is more than 45 years.
Mounting and durability
It is screwed to the ceiling through two ø5 mm holes 100 mm apart. The terminals take up to three conductors of 2.5 mm², and conductors up to 1.5 mm² when the supply is looped on to the next fitting. Protection class I requires an earth connection, so installation is a job for a qualified electrician. The fitting weighs 2.42 kg.
IP65 means it is dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction, so it can work under eaves or an open canopy, and IK10 is the highest impact-resistance class. Norlys intends it for gardens and private grounds — under a terrace roof, in a gazebo, on a balcony or above the front door. The plain, unadorned cylinder is a modern, minimalist design, and graphite RAL 7016 is the same dark grey often used for window frames and gates.
