Guarantee
The Nordlux Outdoor lamps in copper, brass, tombac, and galvanized are guaranteed for up to 15 years. This guarantee applies to extensive corrosion in the form of holes in the metal caused by rust. The guarantee is subject to the presentation of a receipt. There is no guarantee on the components which have been damaged by wear and tear or mistreatment of the lamps
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
other effects of the close environment. This means that the lamp must be
regularly maintained if its surface is to remain shiny and untarnished 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
on 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 a 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
affects 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 that
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 atmospheric
conditions. Damp heat and cold air meet, which causes condensation 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 lighting rising damp from the ground may cause condensation in the metal post. This problem can be defeated by filling sealing material into the metal post.
Aluminum fixtures
Our aluminum light fixtures are made from die-cast and/or extruded aluminum,
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.
Aluminum light fixtures in raw aluminum are subsequently coated with a special
clear coat, which seals the surface to safeguard against corrosion. Painted
aluminum 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!
