Tivah Mini double adjustable wall pillar light in black aluminium

The Tivah Mini is a compact up-and-down wall pillar light with two independently adjustable heads, in black aluminium on a 40mm body standing 133mm tall. Both heads aim, which is what separates this from a fixed up/down fitting: the upward beam can graze a wall while the downward one lights a path, and neither has to be a compromise.

At this size it belongs on pillars, letterbox columns, narrow entry walls and fence posts places where a full-size up/down fitting would dominate the surface it is mounted on.

Light output two heads, and the totals

Each head carries a 3W MR11 globe, so the fitting draws 6W in total. Havit rates each head at 270lm at 3000K and 300lm at 4000K, giving the fitting a total output of 540lm and 600lm respectively. The beam is 60 from each head, which is tighter than a typical wall light and is what produces a defined cone up and down the surface rather than a general wash.

Colour rendering is above 80 CRI. The colour choice is made by the globes fitted rather than by a switch on the fitting.

The globes are supplied

Havit supplies the MR11 LED globes with this fitting, and lists it as not dimmable with those globes supplied so it should not be put on a dimmed circuit expecting them to respond. Because MR11 is a standard replaceable base, the light source can be changed over the fitting’s life without touching the housing, and output, colour and dimming behaviour all follow whatever globe is fitted.

Power and installation

The Tivah Mini runs on 12V DC, so it needs a 12V driver on the circuit rather than a mains connection at the fitting. The driver is not supplied. If you are adding these to a low-voltage run that already exists, check the capacity left on the installed driver first a double-headed fitting draws twice what a single does, so a run sized for single fittings will not take the same number of these.

The fitting is rated IP65 for dust and jetted water. Installation is work for a licensed electrician, and it is worth aiming both heads once power is on rather than setting them on the ground the angle that looks right in the hand is rarely the angle that works on the wall.

Frequently asked questions

How much light does it give in total?

540lm with 3000K globes or 600lm with 4000K globes that is two heads at 270lm or 300lm each.

Are globes included?

Yes. Havit supplies the MR11 LED globes with the fitting.

Can it be dimmed?

Not with the globes supplied. Havit lists it as not dimmable in that configuration.

Does it need a driver?

Yes. It runs on 12V DC and the driver is not supplied.

Can both heads be aimed?

Yes. Both heads are adjustable independently, so the up and down beams can be set separately.
