The 5 W Lindri is the one to specify when a shielded fitting still has to do real work.Its wider 110 mm head takes output to 220 lm at 3000K, 240 lm at 4000K and230 lm at 5500K close to three times the 3 W Lindri while keeping the same hidden-sourceconstruction and the same UGR <19 glare rating. That combination is unusual and itis the reason this model exists: most ways of getting more light out of a garden bollard involve showingmore of the LED.

Two fittings on one page, and they are different metals

As with the rest of the Lindri range, the black variant is aluminium with a polypowder-coated black finish and the antique brass variant is solid brass with anantique finish. The price difference is substantial and it is honest you are buying a differentmaterial, not a different colour. Solid brass is the choice for a fitting you expect to outlast theplanting around it; powder-coated aluminium is the sensible choice for a larger run where the budget hasto go on numbers.

Not within 5 km of salt water

Havit’s installation instructions for this model state thataluminium and antique brass fittings should not be installed within 5 km of salt waterenvironments. Both variants on this page are covered by that restriction. It is a condition onthe fitting rather than general advice, so if the site is anywhere near the coast this is the wrongrange and we would rather say so before you order than afterwards.

24 V DC, and the two cable fittings you must leave alone

• 24 V DC from a suitable 24 V DC LED driver, with the voltage at the fitting heldwithin 5% of its rating. Much of the Havit garden range beside it runs at12 V DC and the two cannot share a driver. Do not connect the fitting directly to 240 V.
• The male and female connector and the anti-water syphon stay on the cable. Havitvoids the warranty if either is removed; the syphon is what prevents water tracking along the cable intothe sealed LED.
• Colour selected by cable at installation brown active, white for 3000K, blue for5500K, both joined for 4000K then soldered and heat-shrunk, which makes it permanent.
• IP65, IK08, 600 mm overall on a 210 mmspike, 25 mm post, 1000 mm tail, built-in LED ratedover 30,000 hours, and a 3 Years Replacement warranty on both finishes.

Lights For You sells more of the black than the brass, but the brass is the one people come back andthank us for; ask and we will talk you through where each earns its price.

Questions

How much more light is this than the 3 W Lindri?

Roughly three times: 220 to 240 lm here against 80 to 90 lm. The head is wider at 110 mm, which is where the extra output comes from, and the shielded construction and UGR <19 glare rating are unchanged.

Are the two variants the same metal?

No. Havit lists the black as aluminium with a poly powder-coated finish and the antique brass as solid brass with an antique brass finish. That is what the price difference reflects. Output, ratings, height and fixing are identical between them.

Can I use it on a coastal site?

No. Havit’s installation instructions for this model state that aluminium and antique brass fittings should not be installed within 5 km of salt water environments, and that covers both finishes here. For a site near the coast you need a different material talk to us before ordering.

Does it need a concrete footing?

No. It comes on a 210 mm spike that drives straight into soil, which is what makes a run of them easy to adjust once you have seen the effect at night. It belongs in a garden bed rather than in paving, where there is nothing for the spike to hold.

What is the head size?

The head is 110 mm wide. Havit publishes two different figures for its height in the same document, so we are not going to quote one if the exact height matters for your detail, ask us and we will get it confirmed rather than guess.

Why must the connector and syphon stay on?

The plug-and-socket connector lets the fitting be replaced later without digging up the buried joint, and the anti-water syphon stops water travelling up the cable and reaching the LED. Havit voids the warranty if either is removed during installation.

Will it run on my 12 V garden supply?

No. It needs 24 V DC from a 24 V DC LED driver, with the supply within 5%. A great deal of the Havit garden range is 12 V DC, so check what your existing driver actually is before adding this fitting to a run.
