Description
The Turin is a 1.2m outdoor pillar light with a tapered black lantern head housing a single E27 bulb fitting behind clear glass panels. The die-cast aluminium body is powder-coated in matt black and mounted on a square 200mm footplate, giving it the visual weight to mark pathway entrances, gate posts, driveways and garden perimeters without being set into the ground.
Designed for UK residential front gardens, driveways and commercial pathway lighting where a fixed pillar is preferred over a wall-mounted lantern, the Turin suits traditional, transitional and contemporary exteriors. The IP54 rating protects against dust ingress and water spray from any direction, allowing installation in exposed positions including coastal areas where salt air would corrode lesser finishes. The clear glass allows the chosen bulb to be visible when lit, so pairing with a warm-white LED filament bulb (sold separately) gives period character, while a standard LED gives cleaner modern light.
The die-cast aluminium construction resists corrosion and impact damage better than pressed steel or plastic alternatives common in budget pillar lights. The 200mm-square footplate provides four fixing points for bolting to paving, decking or concrete pads, and the internal cable entry at the base allows wiring to run underground from an exterior junction box. Norlys backs the Turin with a 5-year guarantee and explicitly allows coastal installation, reflecting the finish quality. The fitting accepts bulbs up to 60W, though most users pair it with a 6-10W LED for running costs under 2p per hour.

Frequently Asked
What bulb does it take and is one included?
The Turin takes a standard E27 (Edison screw) bulb up to 60W maximum. Bulbs are sold separately. Most users choose a warm-white LED filament bulb between 4-8W for a traditional lantern appearance, or a standard LED for cleaner modern light.
Can it be used in coastal areas?
Yes. Norlys explicitly allows coastal installation with no exclusion zone. The die-cast aluminium body and powder-coated black finish resist salt-air corrosion better than standard outdoor lighting finishes.
How is it installed and wired?
The 200mm-square footplate bolts to paving, decking or a concrete pad using four fixing points. The cable entry is at the base of the pillar, allowing underground wiring from an exterior junction box. Installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with BS 7671 wiring regulations.
What's the IP54 rating protection level?
IP54 means the fitting is protected against dust ingress (limited entry, no harmful deposit) and water spray from any direction. This makes it suitable for exposed garden positions, driveways and coastal areas, but not for direct ground burial or full submersion.
