Description
The Oslo is an outdoor chain pendant light with a tiered black metal shade system surrounding a clear polycarbonate globe. The shade consists of three horizontal discs stacked around a domed metal canopy, each disc stepping down in diameter to create a layered silhouette. The polycarbonate globe sits at the centre, protected by the shade rings while still dispersing light outward and downward. The fitting hangs from a black chain, with an adjustable drop between 435mm and 1020mm set during installation.
Built for year-round outdoor use, the Oslo carries an IP55 rating against dust and water ingress, making it suitable for covered porches, patio overhangs, boat house canopies and coastal installations. The galvanised steel construction is powder-coated in matt black to resist corrosion in salt air and high-humidity environments. Norlys backs the fitting with a 5-year guarantee that includes coastal exposure, reflecting the marine-grade build quality. The E27 socket accepts any standard Edison screw bulb up to 60W, allowing you to choose LED, halogen or decorative filament bulbs depending on the light quality and running cost you prefer.
The tiered shade design references Scandinavian industrial lighting from the mid-20th century, particularly the layered metalwork found in harbour and dockyard fittings. The 270mm width and 250mm body height give the Oslo a substantial presence without overwhelming typical residential porch or terrace scales. The black powder coat finish pairs with both traditional brick and timber exteriors and contemporary rendered or metal-clad facades. The polycarbonate globe is impact-resistant and does not yellow or cloud over time like acrylic alternatives.

Frequently Asked
What does the IP55 rating mean?
IP55 indicates protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. The Oslo can withstand rain, coastal spray and hose-down cleaning, making it suitable for exposed porches, patios and coastal installations.
What bulb should I use?
The Oslo takes a standard E27 Edison screw bulb up to 60W. Most users pair it with a 6-10W LED bulb in 2700K warm white for porch lighting, or a decorative filament LED if the bulb is visible through the clear polycarbonate globe.
Can the drop height be adjusted after installation?
The chain length is set during installation by removing or adding links. Once fitted and wired, the drop is fixed until the fitting is taken down and re-hung. The adjustable range is 435mm to 1020mm from ceiling to the base of the globe.
Does the 5-year guarantee cover coastal locations?
Yes. Norlys explicitly includes coastal exposure in the 5-year guarantee for the Oslo, reflecting the galvanised steel construction and marine-grade powder coat finish designed to resist salt air corrosion.
