Outdoor Wall Light NORLYS Asker 1514AL light grey E27 downward

Asker 1514AL is a NORLYS outdoor wall light shaped as a flat box, 22.5 cm wide, 11 cm high and 8.5 cm deep. The housing is cast aluminium, powder-coated in light grey RAL 9006. A clear, textured cover of UV-stabilised polycarbonate closes only the bottom face, so the light shines downward only, symmetrically below the fitting.

Which bulb and what light

Inside is an E27 socket for an LED lamp in A55–A60 shape of up to 9 W. The bulb is not included, so colour temperature and brightness are your choice; the maker also offers a version with a Philips Master LEDbulb 806 lm / 8.5 W / 2700 K, warm light as bright as an old 60 W bulb. The user changes the lamp, with no service call. The maker gives a ULOR of 0 % and a BUG rating of B0-U0-G0: all the light falls downward, onto the wall below the fitting and the ground, and none goes into the night sky.

The fitting has no driver of its own, so dimming depends on the bulb: with a dimmable E27 LED lamp, a dimmer matched to that lamp is enough.

Mounting and wiring

The light weighs 1.3 kg and is screwed on through two ø5 mm holes on a 180 × 60 mm pattern. The terminals take conductors up to 3 × 2.5 mm², and the next fitting can be looped through with up to 3 × 1.5 mm², so several lights on one wall run from one supply line. The cable gland seals round cable 6–10 mm in diameter – a size worth checking when choosing the cable. It is protection class I and needs an earth conductor in the installation.

Durability and use

IP65 means a dust-tight housing protected against water jets, and IK08 an impact resistance that matters by walkways and gates. It operates at temperatures from −20 to +45 °C. NORLYS intends it for lighting walls and facades; it suits a house front, a balcony, a garden wall and the garden, as well as entrances to hotels and restaurants. Downward-only light is useful under eaves or a balcony, where the ceiling above the fitting should stay dark. The smooth, square-edged body without ornament fits modern and minimalist architecture.
