Lofoten 1962CS is a Norlys outdoor lantern shaped as a cube: a steel frame with opal PMMA panels, closed at the top by a mounting cap. The steel is electro-galvanised and powder-coated in a corten-steel colour (close to RAL 8011) – it is the colour of the coating, not the material. The opal diffuser spreads the light of the bulb, so the bulb itself is not visible.
Dimensions and installation
The lantern measures 23 × 23 cm in plan, the body is 23 cm high and 27 cm including the mounting cap. It weighs 4.15 kg and ships in a 25 × 25 × 29 cm carton weighing 5.28 kg. Norlys describes it as a wall luminaire mounted on an arm, which can be installed with the light directed upwards or downwards, and also on the corner of a building. Fixing is through two oval 5 × 10 mm holes spaced 35 mm apart; other mounting accessories are sold separately.
The terminals take conductors up to 2 × 2.5 mm², and the supply can be looped on to the next fitting with cable up to 2 × 1.5 mm². The cable gland accepts round cable of 7–10.5 mm diameter. The luminaire is protection class II, so it needs no protective earth.
What light it gives and what to buy
Inside is an E27 socket for an A55–A60 shaped LED bulb of up to 11 W. The bulb is not included, so brightness and colour are chosen when buying the lamp – for an entrance or terrace a warm 2700–3000 K is the usual choice, and a bulb of around 800 lm gives as much light as an old 60 W one. The user replaces the bulb, no service call needed.
Weather resistance and intended use
IP44 means protection against splashing water from any direction, so the luminaire is suited to outdoor use, ideally under eaves or a canopy. Norlys rates it for ambient temperatures from −20 to +45 °C. The manufacturer intends Lofoten for terraces, entrances, gazebos and other spots around the house. The plain, square frame follows loft-style design and suits both classic and modern façades, and the corten colour goes well with wood, brick and concrete.
