Basel 671BL is a NORLYS outdoor wall light in the form of a flat, rectangular fitting 31 cm high, with a built-in microwave motion sensor. The front is black powder-coated steel, the base powder-coated cast aluminium, and the centre is a satin safety-glass diffuser crossed by two horizontal bands.
How the motion sensor works
The MC030S L sensor is a microwave type, so it detects movement with radio waves rather than body heat. It has a dusk switch and motion hold: the light comes on when someone approaches and stays on while anything moves in the detection field. From the factory the detection area is set to 100%, the hold time to 5 s and the dusk threshold is switched off — until it is set, the fitting also reacts to movement in daylight. The parameters are adjusted after installation following the enclosed manual, to suit an entrance or a driveway.
Finish, size and installation
The colour is black RAL 9005 – a deep, even black applied as powder coating to the steel front and the aluminium base. The satin glass stays pale when the light is off, so the black frame and the two horizontal bands stand out against it as a clear outline.
The fitting measures 31 × 21 cm, projects 13 cm from the wall and weighs 2.9 kg. It is screwed on through two ø4.5 mm holes spaced 138 × 50 mm apart. The terminals take conductors up to 3 × 2.5 mm², and loop-through wiring with up to 3 × 1.5 mm² lets several wall lights run from one supply line; the gland takes round cable of ø7–10.5 mm. The fitting is protection class I, so it needs an earth conductor.
Light and durability
The integrated Philips Fortimo LED module draws 9.5 W, and the source itself delivers 1080 lm — roughly what an old 75 W bulb gave. 3000 K is warm white, and the satin glass diffuses the light so individual diodes are not visible. No lamp needs to be bought; the LED module is replaced by a professional service, and service kit ZS671zx0009 is available. The manufacturer states an L70 lifetime of over 50,000 hours.
IP54 means protection against dust and splashing water from any direction, and the fitting operates from −20 to +45 °C, so it can be mounted on a facade without a canopy.
