The largest Akril: a 50mm acrylic head at each end of a 276mm poly powder-coated aluminium body, throwing up and down from one point and running directly off 240V. This is the one for a two-storey faade, a tall pillar or a gate post, where a smaller fitting would be lost against the surface behind it.

What it puts out

Each head carries a 5W LED, so the fitting draws 2 5W and Havit quotes the output per head: 2 315lm, 2 365lm or 2 370lm by colour setting. That is roughly 630740lm across both beams enough that a single fitting can carry an entry on its own, and enough that two of them close together on a narrow pillar will usually be one too many.

Colour temperature

Set once at installation: 3000K, 4000K or 5500K. 5500K is the brightest at 2 370lm, with 4000K almost level at 2 365lm and 3000K at 2 315lm. Warm white is the only setting that costs meaningful output here, and on a rendered or light-brick wall it is usually the one that flatters the surface. SDCM<5 holds a run consistent between fittings; it cannot rescue a run where the settings differ, so decide once and apply it to all of them.

Where to mount it

Because it throws both ways from one point, mounting height decides the shape of the light rather than its amount. Around eye height or a little above gives the upward beam enough wall to travel across and keeps the downward beam useful on the ground; too high and the upward wash spills past the top of the surface, too low and both beams pool close to the fitting. On a pillar, centring it on the face matters more than matching the height of anything else nearby.

Supply, earthing and control

There is no driver in this version it wires straight to 240V. It is Protection Class 1, so an earth connection is required at the fitting, unlike the extra-low-voltage Akril, which is Class 3. Havit specifies the fitting as not dimmable: switch it rather than wiring it to a dimmer, and if you want the faade to soften at night, do it with a second switched circuit rather than a dimmer.

Rating and size

It is IP65 against dust and water jets from any direction, IK04 for impact, with CRI>80, UGR<35 and a lamp expectancy of >30,000hrs. Overall size is 276 80 80mm, in black or white at the same price, with a 3 years replacement warranty. Lights For You keeps all four mains Akril models two head sizes in single and twin so an elevation can be graded rather than lit with one fitting repeated everywhere.

Questions

How much light comes out of it in total?

Havit quotes per head: 2 315lm at 3000K, 2 365lm at 4000K and 2 370lm at 5500K. Across both beams that is roughly 630740lm, split evenly up and down.

How is it different from the HV10932T?

Head size and power. This one has 50mm heads at 2 5W; the HV10932T has 40mm heads at 2 3W. Both are 276mm long, both are 240V, both are IP65.

Does it need an earth?

Yes. Havit specifies Protection Class 1, so an earth must be connected at the fitting. The extra-low-voltage Akril is Class 3 and does not.

Which colour setting is brightest?

5500K, at 2 370lm with 4000K effectively level at 2 365lm. 3000K gives 2 315lm, so warm white is the only setting with a real cost.

Can I put it on a dimmer?

No. Havit specifies this model as non-dimmable. If you want a lower level late at night, use a separate switched circuit rather than a dimmer.

What beam angle does it have?

Havit does not publish a beam angle for this model the ordering table on its data sheet carries no beam-angle figure, unlike its three siblings. We have not carried one across from them, because a figure from a different model is not this ones specification. In practice the acrylic head gives a wide upward and downward wash rather than a narrow beam.

Is it suitable for a two-storey wall?

It is the best of the four Akril models for one the 50mm heads and 2 5W give the throw to reach up a taller surface. Mount it at eye height or a little above so the upward beam has wall to travel across.
