FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the galvanized steel used in this base?

The galvanized steel provides superior protection against rust and corrosion, making it highly durable and suitable for outdoor use, especially in harsh environments like coastal areas.

Will the base look the same over time?

No, the galvanized steel will develop a natural, darker patina as it's exposed to the elements. This is a normal aging process that adds character and does not compromise the material's protective qualities.

Is this base suitable for any garden pole?

This base is designed as a universal fit specifically for Nordlux garden light poles. It is not guaranteed to be compatible with poles from other brands.

How long is the guarantee on this product?

Nordlux offers a 2-year guarantee on the product, with a specific 15-year guarantee on surface deterioration of the galvanized steel.

What are the dimensions of the base?

The dimensions of the base are Height: 50 cm, Width: 15 cm, and Depth: 15 cm.

Can I install this base myself?

Yes, the base is designed for straightforward installation, but it's important to ensure it is securely anchored to the ground for stability, especially in windy conditions.

What should I do if I notice rust on the base?

Minor rust spots can occur initially. Gently wipe with a damp cloth. If significant rust appears, contact customer support as it might be a warranty issue.

Troubleshooting

Base appears unstable after installation

Re-evaluate the ground preparation and anchoring method. Ensure the base is securely fastened to the ground using appropriate methods for your soil type and local wind conditions. Check that the garden pole is also firmly attached to the base.

Visible rust spots appearing on the surface

Small rust spots can occur, especially during the initial weathering period. This is often 'rust rub' from the manufacturing process. Gently wipe with a damp cloth. For significant or persistent rust, contact customer support as this may indicate a defect covered by the guarantee.

Difficulty attaching the garden pole

Ensure you are using a compatible Nordlux garden pole. Check that the connection points on both the pole and the base are clean and free from obstructions. Refer to the assembly instructions for both the base and the specific garden pole.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the chosen location is level and stable.
  2. Position the Nordlux Base at the desired spot for your garden light pole.
  3. Secure the base to the ground according to local building practices and the specific requirements of your garden pole. This may involve anchoring it into concrete or using appropriate ground spikes, especially in areas prone to wind or soft soil.
  4. Attach the Nordlux garden pole to the base, following the pole's specific assembly instructions.

Compatibility:

  • This base is designed as a universal fit for Nordlux garden light poles. Compatibility with poles from other brands is not guaranteed.

Care:

  • The galvanized steel is designed for low maintenance.
  • Clean with a damp cloth periodically to remove dust or debris.
  • Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, which could damage the protective coating or accelerate patina formation.
  • Over time, the base will develop a natural patina. This is a normal characteristic of galvanized steel and contributes to its protective layer. No specific care is required for patina development, but be aware of this aesthetic change.
