tear or mistreatment of the lamps
We congratulate you on your new outdoor lamp
Stainless steel
Remember to take care of your lamp. Just follow the guidelines below.
The shiny, uniform and decorative surface of stainless steel makes it very
suitable for outdoor use.
It is an alloy consisting of iron, chrome and nickel. During bath pickling, a
thin, rustproof oxide layer forms on the surface.
The surface is continually vulnerable to atmospheric conditions, and from
other effects of the close environment. This means that the lamp must be
regularly maintained if its surface is to remain shiny and untar-nished by
rust.
Before setting it up, treat your lamp with acid-free oil, and dry it off with
a soft cloth. Repeat this three or four times a year.
Stainless steel lamps are not recommended for use in aggressive environments
such as coastal, agricultural or industrial areas.
Copper, Brass and Tombac fixtures
Our copper, brass and tombac fixtures are made from respectively solid copper,
brass and tombac. The mechanical machining will leave small scratches in the
surface, as well as residues of rinse aid. This rapidly disappears in the
patina process. After the first rain showers the copper / brass / tombak
surface will appear stained, but the aerated air and moisture will soon make
the lamp appear with dark brownish color.
Over the years, the material copper will get a beautiful patina-green color
and brass / tombac will get a darker and more uniform color. The uniformity of
the patina surface, as well as the rate at which the process occurs is
dependent on the environment that affect the fixture.
Hot-galvanized lamps
The zinc treatment of the steel lamps is executed manually in plants. The
temperature of the melted zinc is about 460 degrees. When the lamps are dipped
in melted zinc a reaction between the metalls occurs, which develops alloys in
the surface.
The lamp and the components of the lamp are manually dipped in the hot zinc.
This treatment leaves variations in the coating in the form of partly an
uneven surface and partly minor formations of drops.
Thin »zinc curtains« might also occur on the surface and they show as a thin
film which hangs down from the edge of the lamp. This film can easily be
removed or brushed off with a soft brush.
Condensation
Condensation is a natural phenomenon arising under specific atmos- pheric
conditions. Damp heat and cold air meet, which causes conder- sation of water
on the surface.
When water heats up it leads to rising water vapour, which will be able to
affect electric components.
Condensation is not included by Nordlux warranty, unless it is possible to
prove that a technical /production error in the lighting causes entry of
water.
In case of condensation please check:
– If the lighting is mounted according to instructions. Washers should seal
tightly. Make sure to tension screws and lenses.
-In garden lightings rising damp from the ground may cause condensa- tion in the metal post. This problem can be defeated by filling sealing material into the metal post.
Aluminium fixtures
Our aluminium light fixtures are made from die-cast and/or extruded aluminium,
where the light fixture’s design determines whether both types of materials,
or just one of them, are used for different parts of the same light fixture.
Aluminium light fixtures in raw aluminium are subsequently coated with a
special clear coat, which seals the surface to safeguard against corrosion.
Painted aluminium light fixtures are powder-coated and have a uniform and
smooth surface. To avoid the light fixture tarnishing, it is recommended to
clean and wipe the light fixture after mounting, and repeat this process 3-4
times each year. This is done with a regular cleaning agent. Black light
fixtures which are bleached by strong sunlight can also benefit from treatment
with silicone spray as needed, to maintain the black color. Mounting light
fixtures in coastal, agricultural or industrial areas is not recommended, as
these aggressive surroundings may cause the light fixture to corrode, which
may entail spalling, bubbles in the surface and a whitish incrustation on the
light fixture’s surface.
-It is highly important that drainage holes are kept free of impurities if any. BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE BOLLARD AGAIN DO REMEMBER TO WIPE OFF ALL PARTS!
In the Nordic Countries. outdoor lights must be mounted by an huthorised
electrician.
