Description
The Asker is an outdoor up/down wall light with a rectangular graphite-finished metal housing and a perforated mesh front panel that directs light both upward and downward from a single E27 bulb. The IP65 rating protects against dust ingress and water jets, making the fitting suitable for coastal installations, exposed garden walls, and porch areas subject to rain and salt spray.
Designed to mount on exterior walls beside doorways, along perimeter fencing, or flanking garage entrances, the Asker creates a dual-beam effect that highlights both the wall surface above and the ground below. This makes it useful for marking entrances, illuminating pathways adjacent to walls, and adding architectural accent lighting to modern and contemporary facades. The 225mm width and 110mm height suit standard brick or rendered wall sections without overwhelming residential-scale elevations.
The graphite powder-coated finish resists UV fading and corrosion in outdoor exposure, maintaining its dark charcoal tone through multiple seasons. The perforated mesh front panel diffuses and shapes the light output while preventing direct glare from the bulb, and the recessed E27 socket accepts any standard LED, CFL or filament bulb up to 60W (sold separately). Norlys backs the fitting with a 5-year guarantee covering manufacturing defects and finish degradation.

Frequently Asked
Is the Asker suitable for coastal locations?
Yes. The IP65 rating protects against water jets and dust, and the graphite powder-coated finish resists corrosion from salt spray. Norlys specifies this fitting as suitable for coastal installations where moisture and salt exposure are higher than inland sites.
What bulb does it take?
The Asker takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users pair this with a warm-white LED bulb between 6-12W and 2700K-3000K for outdoor accent lighting.
Can it be used with a dimmer?
The fitting itself is compatible with dimmable bulbs and external dimmer switches. To dim the light, install a dimmable E27 LED bulb and ensure the wall switch or control system supports LED dimming.
How far does it project from the wall?
The fitting projects 85mm from the wall surface once installed, giving enough clearance to create the up/down beam pattern without the housing sitting too far proud of the facade.
