The Lisse is a small down-only wall light 115mm wide and 76mm high, drawing 4W designed for the positions where you want light on the ground and nothing shining back at you. It is the cheapest way to mark a threshold, a step or a path edge properly, and because it throws down only, a row of them reads as a rhythm of pools rather than a line of bright spots. The buying decision here is the IP rating: at IP54 it is a sheltered-position fitting, so where it goes has to be settled before anything else.

Sheltered positions only

IP54 protects against splashing water, not direct rain. The Lisse belongs under an eave, in a covered porch, under an alfresco roof or in a carport. On a fully exposed wall it will eventually take water and fail. If the position is open to the sky, choose an IP65 fitting instead this is not a fitting to compromise on.

Where it works

• Under a deep eave beside an entry door, dropping light onto the threshold.
• Covered verandah and porch walls, spaced along the run to mark decking edges.
• Roofed alfresco walls, down-lighting a step or a doorway.
• Carports and covered breezeways where a compact fitting suits a narrow wall.

Specifying it

HV3641T-BLK-240V and HV3641T-WHT-240V run on 240V AC, so they wire straight to mains and need no driver. The LED is built in there is no globe to buy and none can be fitted. Tri-colour switching gives 240lm at 3000K, 250lm at 4000K and 260lm at 5500K, which is accent-level output suited to marking a level change rather than lighting an area. Aluminium body with polyester powder coat in black or white. Carries a 3-year replacement warranty.

Getting the effect right

Down-only fittings show their spacing. Set them out at even centres from a plan rather than working along the wall by eye, and set the colour temperature on every fitting before the first one is fixed a run with one fitting on a different step is immediately obvious at night.

Supplied by Lights For You the 4W Lisse is the compact down-only option for covered positions, so confirm your wall is under an eave or roof before ordering a run of them.

Earthing and protection class

This fitting runs on 240 V AC mains and is Protection Class 1 an earth is required at the fitting. Havit’s installation sheet has the installer connect the earth conductor first, then live and neutral.

Questions

Does the Lisse need a driver?

No. HV3641T-BLK-240V and HV3641T-WHT-240V are 240V AC and wire directly to mains.

Can it be mounted on an exposed wall?

No. IP54 covers splashing only. It must be positioned under an eave, porch, alfresco roof or carport where direct rain cannot reach it.

Is there a globe?

No. The LED is built into the fitting, so no globe is needed and none can be fitted.

How much light does it give?

240lm at 3000K, 250lm at 4000K and 260lm at 5500K enough to mark a step or a threshold, not to light an area.

Does it throw light upwards as well?

No. It is down-only, which is why it does not glare into your eyes at head height.

How far apart should a run be spaced?

Set them at even centres from a plan based on your mounting height. Down-only fittings make uneven spacing obvious at night.

What warranty applies?

A 3-year replacement warranty.
