The Kiruna 598GR is a round outdoor wall light in bulkhead style: a cast aluminium body powder-coated graphite, RAL 7016, and an opal diffuser of UV-stabilised polycarbonate. A metal hood covers the upper half of the diffuser, and a cross-shaped guard runs across the whole light.
Size and connection
According to the manufacturer's drawing the light is 31 cm in diameter and 21 cm deep — that is how far it stands out from the wall. Compare the diameter with the free space beside or above the door, since the light takes up a 31 cm circle on the masonry.
The terminals take conductors up to 3 × 2.5 mm², and a further light can be fed in a loop with up to 3 × 1.5 mm². The supply cable should be round with an outer diameter of 7 to 10.5 mm. It is a double-insulated Class II luminaire, so no protective earth conductor is needed.
Bulb and light
The fitting has an E27 socket and takes an A55–A60 LED bulb of up to 9 W. The bulb is not included and you change it yourself, so brightness and light colour depend on the bulb you choose. The manufacturer also offers the light with a dimmable Philips Master LEDbulb 806 lm / 8.5 W / 2700 K — as bright as an old 60 W bulb, with warm, slightly yellowish light.
The opal diffuser spreads the light so the bulb itself is not visible, and the hood shields it from above: most of the light falls on the wall and the ground below rather than into the sky.
Durability and use
IP65 means complete protection against dust and water jets, so the light can hang on an uncovered wall. Impact resistance IK10 is the top class of that scale, useful where the light hangs low beside a walkway. The manufacturer gives an operating range of −20 to +45 °C. The manufacturer describes the design as contemporary, for general use — the light suits a house facade, an entrance and the garden, as well as hotels and restaurants.
