Oslo Outdoor Wall Lantern - Black IP55

The Oslo is an outdoor wall lantern built around a curved black galvanised steel arm suspending a tiered shade assembly above a clear polycarbonate globe housing a single E27 bulb. The shade consists of three horizontal black metal tiers that shield the bulb from direct glare while allowing downward and outward light distribution through the clear globe beneath.

Designed for exposed outdoor positions including coastal installations, the Oslo carries an IP55 rating that protects against dust ingress and water jets from any direction. The 395mm projection from the wall combined with the 270mm shade diameter suits porches, entrance areas, garage sides and garden walls where coverage is needed beyond the building line. The curved arm mounts to a circular black backplate that conceals the wiring and fits standard outdoor junction boxes.

The galvanised steel construction is powder-coated in black, giving corrosion resistance in marine environments and wet climates. Norlys backs this with a 5-year guarantee covering coastal exposure, recognising that salt air and wind-driven rain accelerate failure in lower-grade outdoor fittings. The fitting accepts any E27 bulb up to 60W — most installations use a warm-white LED between 6-10W and 2700K to balance light output with running cost.

Is the Oslo suitable for coastal areas?

Yes. The galvanised steel construction and powder-coated black finish are designed for coastal installations. Norlys provides a 5-year guarantee with no coastal exclusion, covering salt-air corrosion that typically voids warranties on lower-grade outdoor lighting.

What bulb does it take?

The fitting accepts a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are not included. Most users fit a warm-white LED between 6-10W and 2700K for outdoor pathway and entrance lighting.

Can it be fitted to a rendered or brick wall?

Yes. The circular backplate mounts to a standard outdoor junction box behind the wall surface. Fixings must penetrate the wall substrate (brick, block, timber stud) rather than relying on render or cladding alone for structural support.

Does the IP55 rating cover wet coastal winters?

Yes. IP55 provides protection against water jets from any direction and dust ingress, so the fitting can withstand wind-driven rain, coastal spray and winter wet conditions without internal moisture damage or corrosion of the lampholder.
