Paulmann Azalena LED Outdoor Wall Luminaire - Grey
The Anthracite Azalena plastic and aluminium outdoor wall luminaire is extra robust and impervious...The Anthracite Azalena plastic and aluminium outdoor wall luminaire is extra robust and impervious to the effects of sea air. The light of this luminaire creates bright and uniform illumination of the entrance area with an output of 8,5W. The modern design of this outdoor wall luminaire makes it a perfect match for any type of facade. The Tunable Warm function offers free choice of colour temperature in the warm light range. The colour temperature can be set between 2,200 Kelvin and 3,000 Kelvin using the Zigbee 3.0 function. In the basic setting, the luminaire switches on when it gets dark with 20% brightness and 2,200 Kelvin thanks to the integrated dusk sensor. The desired light colour and brightness can be individually adjusted using an app. When someone approaches, the outdoor light is switched to 100% brightness and 3,000 Kelvin by the built-in motion sensor. The system switches back to the saved light colour and brightness after about 30 seconds. 2,200 Kelvin lies outside the visible range for most insects, so they are not attracted by the additional light source, making the luminaire particularly insect-friendly. Zigbee 3.0 is a radio transmission protocol that interlinks devices from different manufacturers. Compatible with Smart Home Gateways featuring a Zigbee 3.0 interface.
The Paulmann Azalena outdoor wall luminaire is designed for homeowners seeking robust, intelligent, and aesthetically pleasing exterior lighting. Its primary benefit lies in its smart functionality, offering customizable light color and brightness, integrated motion and dusk sensors, and insect-friendly illumination. A key caveat is its reliance on a Zigbee 3.0 compatible Smart Home gateway for full smart control. This luminaire provides bright, uniform light for entrance areas, is impervious to sea air, and features a modern design suitable for any facade.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the benefit of the 'Tunable Warm' function?
The 'Tunable Warm' function allows you to adjust the light's color temperature between 2,200K and 3,000K, enabling you to create different moods, from a very cozy, amber glow to a brighter, warmer white.
How does the insect-friendly feature work?
At the lower end of its color temperature range (2,200 Kelvin), the light emitted is outside the visible spectrum for most common insects, thus reducing the likelihood of them being attracted to the luminaire.
Do I need a special hub to use the smart features?
Yes, to utilize the full smart capabilities like app control for color temperature and brightness, you will need a Smart Home gateway that is compatible with the Zigbee 3.0 protocol.
What is the IP rating of this luminaire and what does it mean?
The luminaire has an IP44 rating. This means it is protected against solid objects larger than 1mm (like wires) and protected against water splashes from any direction.
How long does the LED bulb last?
The integrated LED bulb has a lifetime of 30,000 hours, providing long-term illumination before replacement would be considered.
Can I control this light with my voice?
If you have a voice assistant compatible with your Zigbee 3.0 gateway (e.g., Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant), you may be able to control the luminaire's functions via voice commands through that system.
Is this luminaire suitable for coastal areas?
Yes, the luminaire is constructed from aluminum and plastic and is specifically described as being extra robust and impervious to the effects of sea air, making it suitable for coastal environments.
Troubleshooting
Luminaire does not turn on
Check the 230V AC power supply connection. Ensure the circuit breaker is engaged. Verify that the dusk sensor is not obstructed and that it is sufficiently dark for the sensor to activate.
Smart features (color/brightness control) not working
Ensure the luminaire is correctly paired with your Zigbee 3.0 gateway. Check the range between the luminaire and the gateway. Restart both the gateway and the luminaire. Consult your gateway's app for specific troubleshooting steps.
Motion sensor not triggering the light
Verify the detection distance (up to 20m) and ensure there are no obstructions. Check the sensor's sensitivity settings in the app if available. Make sure the luminaire is set to activate with motion (not just dusk).
Luminaire flickers intermittently
This could indicate a loose wiring connection or an unstable power supply. Inspect the wiring and power source. If the issue persists, contact a qualified electrician.
