Fino is a round surface-mounted step light 110mm acrossand only 23mm proud of the surface built to mark a level change withoutbecoming a visible fitting in its own right. At 3W it puts out roughly3033lm through an opal polycarbonate diffuser at a 120 spread, which iswayfinding light: enough to read the edge of a tread in the dark, not enough to light thespace. The real decision is whether your site already has a low-voltage circuit, becauseFino is 12V only.

The decision that matters: this is a 12V fitting

Fino requires a 12V DC LED driver and mustnever be connected directly to 240V doing so destroys thefitting on the spot and is not a warranty claim. Size the driver for the combinedwattage of every fitting on the run with headroom, not for one light, and keep eachfitting within 25m of its driver: past that distance Havit’swarranty does not apply, and voltage drop over a long thin run shows up as unevenbrightness down a stair flight.

Where it works

• External stair flights one per second or third riser reads as a rhythm rather than a row of spots.
• Alfresco and deck perimeter walls under an eave or pergola, where IP54 is comfortably within rating.
• Path and courtyard retaining walls on an existing garden transformer run.
• Pool surround walls in sheltered positions, kept clear of direct spray.

Specifying it

Tri-colour selectable at install 3000K, 4000K or 5500K in black orwhite powder-coated aluminium. Choose one temperature and set every fitting on the flightto match; two temperatures on one stair is the most common way a good install looks wrongafter dark. IP54 covers splashing and wind-driven spray in a sheltered position, so keepFino out of spots taking sustained direct rain or coastal wash. The LED isbuilt in: no globe is needed, none can be fitted, and there is nothingto re-lamp later. IK08 impact rating and a classIII low-voltage construction, so noearth is required at the fitting. Installation by a licensed electrician.

Backed by a 3-year replacement warranty.

Questions

Can I wire Fino straight to 240V mains?

No. Fino is a 12V DC fitting and needs a 12V DC LEDdriver. Connecting it directly to 240V destroys it immediately and voids thewarranty. If you need a mains fitting, choose a 240V step light instead.

How far can the fitting sit from its driver?

No more than 25m. Beyond that the warranty does not apply,and the practical symptom is voltage drop the fittings furthest down the run godimmer than the first ones.

Does it come with a globe?

No globe is needed or possible. The 3W LED is built in and notuser-replaceable, so there is nothing to buy separately and nothing to change later.

Is 30lm bright enough for a stair?

For marking treads, yes that is what a step light is for.It shows you where the edge is without glaring at eye level. If you want the stairactually lit rather than marked, add an overhead or wall fitting as well.

Will IP54 cope outdoors?

IP54 handles splashing water in a sheltered position underan eave, on an alfresco wall, on a covered stair. For a wall taking driving rain orcoastal spray, specify an IP65 or IP67 fitting instead.

Can the colour temperature be changed after installation?

Not easily. The tri-colour selection is made at the fitting duringinstall, so agree 3000K, 4000K or 5500K with your electrician before the run is closedup.
