The Porter round is the 15W fixed-down wall light in a cylindrical body 113mm acrossthe face, 151mm deep and 125mm tall. It is the same output as its square sibling in a softershape, which is the whole basis of the choice: pick the round one where the architecture has curves orwhere a square bezel would fight the door furniture.

Bright enough to matter

At 1,350lm on its brightest setting this is one of the highest-output fixed-down fittings in therange, so it earns its place on a double-height entry or a long elevation where smaller fittings read asa row of dim dots. The 60 beam points down only, laying a soft-edged triangle roughly as wide as themounting height so spacing decides whether you get a continuous wash or deliberate pools.

Where it works

• Double-height entries and portico returns, where the output carries far enough to be useful.
• Long rendered or brick elevations, evenly spaced to wash the whole surface.
• Alfresco and outdoor-kitchen walls IP54 covers rain and splashing.
• Curved or rendered facades where a round bezel suits the detailing.

Specifying it

The 15W LED is built in no globe, no socket, nothing to replace. Tri-colour selection is setat installation and each setting has its own output: 1,200lm at 3000K, 1,275lm at4000K and 1,350lm at 5500K. It runs on 240V AC with the driver inside thefitting, is not dimmable, and CRI is above 80. Behind tempered glass, IP54, in black orwhite at the same price.

Coastal siting Havits condition

Havits installation instructions for this fitting state that aluminium and 304 stainless steel fittings must not be installed within 5 km of any salt water environment. That is a condition on where the fitting may go, and it sits beside the IP rating rather than inside it: a fitting can be rated for direct rain and still fall outside this rule, because the issue is salt carried in the air rather than water landing on the surface. If your site is inside that zone, talk to us before you specify it Lights For You can point you at a fitting whose material Havit does not name here.

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 it need a driver?

No. It runs on 240V AC with the 15W driver built into the fitting.

How bright is it at each setting?

1,200lm at 3000K, 1,275lm at 4000K and 1,350lm at 5500K.

Is there a globe to replace?

No. The 15W LED is integrated no socket and no replaceable lamp.

Can it be dimmed?

No. This fitting is not dimmable.

How is it different from the Porter Square?

Same 15W output and 60 beam in a round body rather than a square one. The choice is aesthetic, not performance.

How far apart should they be spaced?

At around 2.2m mounting height, 2.53m centres gives a continuous wash. Wider spacing leaves separate pools of light.

What is the warranty?

Three years, as a replacement warranty.
