Firenze 800A/BL is an outdoor pendant light on a steel chain, with a bell-shaped shade of cast aluminium and a clear polycarbonate diffuser beneath it. The whole luminaire is powder-coated black (RAL 9005), and its shape follows the classic street lantern.
Size and mounting
The shade measures 25 cm across, and the lamp including its chain is 95 cm tall, 65 cm of which is the section from the fixing point down to the body of the luminaire. Compare that figure with the height of your terrace roof or gazebo ceiling so that the lower edge of the diffuser hangs where it will not get in the way of people walking past.
The lamp hangs from a ceiling hook. The terminals take conductors of up to 2 × 2.5 mm², and the supply cable should have a round sheath with an outer diameter of 7 to 10.5 mm. The luminaire weighs 2.7 kg and is protection class II, so it needs no earth conductor.
Light source and light distribution
The luminaire has an E27 socket and takes an LED lamp in an A55–A60 bulb of up to 9 W. No lamp is included; you fit and replace it yourself, so colour and brightness depend on the bulb you choose. Norlys also offers the lamp together with a dimmable Philips Master LEDbulb 806 lm / 8.5 W / 2700 K, which gives warm light about as bright as an old 60 W incandescent.
The diffuser is clear, so the bulb stays visible, and the luminaire sends 18% of its light upwards, towards the roof or the tree canopy above it. The IP54 rating means it is protected against splashing water from any direction, and Norlys allows operation at ambient temperatures from -20 to +45°C.
Where it fits and what it is made of
Norlys intends it for lighting gardens and terraces, and in our catalogue it is also listed for balconies, gazebos, hotels and restaurants. The powder-coated cast aluminium body and the UV-stabilised polycarbonate diffuser are made for outdoor use, and the diffuser can be ordered as a service kit with the number 06370797 if it ever needs replacing. The same model is also available in white in the Firenze series (800A/WH).
