Reces is a square recessed step light with a40 beam, offered in white, black, 316 stainless steel, antique brassand solid brass. The narrow beam is what distinguishes it from most step lights: insteadof a wide wash it drops a defined pool of light onto the tread or paving below, whichkeeps a flight of stairs reading crisply and stops the light spilling up into anyone’seye line. Because it recesses, the finish you pick is a small square trim and not muchelse, so matching it to hardware is easy.

The decision that matters: this is a 12V fitting

Every finish is 12V DC. Recesrequires a 12V DC LED driver and mustnever be connected directly to 240V, which destroys it instantlyand is not covered. Havit requires each fitting to sit within25m of its driver; outside that the warranty does not apply. Sizethe driver to the whole circuit at 2.5W per fitting a long run isundemanding. A 300mm tail is supplied.

Where it works

• External stair flights the 40 beam marks each tread without washing the wall.
• Poolside coping and wet areas IP67 covers direct weather and temporary immersion.
• Masonry and render walls using the canister for a clean, sealed recess.
• Coastal sites in the 316 stainless finish, or brass exteriors in solid or antique brass.

Specifying it

Tri-colour selectable at install, and the product’s own ordering table gives identicalfigures across all five SKUs: 150lm at 3000K, 160lm at 4000K and 155lmat 5500K from a 2.5W built-in LED. Pick one temperature for the whole flight. Thereare two cut-out sizes depending on whether you use the canister, soconfirm the installation method before anything is drilled the fitting supportsboth, but the hole does not change its mind afterwards. Aluminium body, IP67, IK10 forimpact at ankle height, dimmable on a suitable dimmable low-voltage driver, classIIIso no earth is required. The LED is built in: no globe is needed andnone can be fitted. Licensed electrician only.

Backed by a 3-year replacement warranty.

Supplied and supported by Lights For You; Reces has two different cut-outs depending on whether you use the canister, so check with us before your builder drills the wall.

Questions

Does Reces need a driver?

Yes. Every finish is 12V DC and requires a 12V DC LEDdriver sized for the total circuit load. It must never be connected directly to240V.

What does the 40 beam mean in practice?

A tighter, more defined pool of light on the surface below ratherthan a broad wash. It reads crisply on a stair and controls glare, but it also means youspace the fittings closer than you would a wide-beam unit.

Do I need the canister?

It installs with or without one, and the cut-out size differs betweenthe two. In masonry or render the canister gives a tidier, better-sealed result; decidewhich before the wall is drilled.

Is IP67 necessary?

It is what makes this suitable at ground level and around a poolsurround IP67 adds temporary immersion to full weather protection, so a puddle ora hose is within rating.

How far from the driver can the fittings be?

Up to 25m. Beyond that limit Havit’s warranty does not apply,and voltage drop makes the far fittings visibly dimmer.

Is a globe supplied?

No globe is needed or possible. The 2.5W LED is integrated, sothere is nothing to buy separately and nothing to re-lamp.
