Outdoor wall light NORLYS Nora 2496GR LED 8W 4000K graphite IP65

Nora 2496GR is a Norlys outdoor wall light shaped as a flat, square box of cast aluminium, powder-coated in graphite RAL 7016. The front measures 13 × 13 cm and the fitting projects 5 cm from the wall. Light leaves only through the bottom edge, via clear safety glass sealed with a silicone gasket.

How much light it gives and where it goes

The luminaire draws 8 W and delivers 585 lm, which is 73.1 lm per watt. The whole output is directed downwards – the maker states an upward light ratio (ULOR) of 0%, so no light reaches the windows above or the night sky; it draws a bright wash on the wall below. 4000 K is neutral white without a yellow cast, and Ra 80 is the usual colour rendering for outdoor lighting.

Light source and DALI-2 control

The LED module and driver are built in, so there is no bulb to buy. The driver works on DALI-2, a digital control bus – dimming and lighting scenes require a DALI controller in the installation. The module and driver are replaced by a professional service, and the maker offers a dedicated service kit for this fitting. The driver is rated for 100,000 h, and the module keeps 90% of its output for more than 52,600 h.

Mounting and wiring

The wall light fixes through two ø5 mm holes spaced 63 × 112 mm and weighs 0.85 kg. The terminals take conductors up to 5 × 2.5 mm² and allow the supply to loop through to the next fitting with up to 5 × 1.5 mm², so a row of lights along a façade can run from a single supply line. The supply cable should have a round sheath 7–10.5 mm in diameter.

On longer runs the drivers' inrush current matters: the maker allows up to 46 fittings on a B 10 A breaker, 74 on B 16 A or C 10 A, and 119 on C 16 A. The luminaire is protection class I, so it must be connected to a protective earth. IP65 means it is sealed against dust and water jets, and IK09 means the housing resists impacts, which counts next to paths and driveways.

Where it fits

Norlys designed Nora for lighting walls and building façades. The plain square body without ornament and the uniform graphite finish suit Scandinavian and minimalist architecture.
