Roto 10W LED bunker light in black

The Roto is the compact end of Havit’s bunker light range a 10W surface-mounted wall fitting in black, built for the places where a light is needed but a large fitting would be out of proportion. Side passages, laundry doors, stair landings, meter boxes, garden sheds and the wall beside a back step are the natural home for it. It is a marker and a wayfinding light rather than a work light.

The body is aluminium with a polycarbonate diffuser, rated IP54 against dust and splashing water. That rating suits a sheltered exterior position under an eave, in a covered walkway, inside a carport rather than a wall fully exposed to driven rain.

Light output

At 10W the Roto is rated at 520lm, 600lm and 570lm across its three colour settings. It is a tri-colour fitting, so the colour temperature is chosen on the fitting when it is installed rather than being fixed at manufacture. Colour rendering is 80 CRI or better, and the beam is 120, which is what allows a small fitting to cover a doorway width instead of lighting only the wall directly beneath it.

Those figures are the right scale for the job. A 10W bunker light beside a back door lets someone find a lock and a step without lighting the whole yard, and without becoming the brightest thing visible from a neighbouring window.

Power and installation

The Roto runs on 240V AC mains with no driver required, so installation is a standard mains connection for a licensed electrician. The LED is built in there is no lamp base, nothing to buy with the fitting, and no globe to replace over its life.

This listing is the plain-faced Roto. The same range includes a version fitted with an eyelid, which shrouds the upward part of the output and directs the light down the wall. Where the fitting will sit below a window, that version is usually the better choice.

Where the Roto suits, and where it does not

Choose it where the task is orientation: finding a door, a step, a gate or a path junction after dark. It is not the fitting for lighting a driveway, a workshop or a car parked on an apron those need the larger bunker lights in the same family, and using several Roto fittings instead produces a row of small bright points rather than an evenly lit area. Lights For You can size that up against the space you are lighting if you are unsure which end of the range you need.

Frequently asked questions

Is it bright enough to light a driveway?

No. At 10W and up to 600lm the Roto is a wayfinding light for doors, steps and passages. A driveway needs one of the larger bunker lights in the range their own listings carry those ratings.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

It is IP54, which covers dust and splashing water. That suits sheltered positions such as under an eave or in a carport, rather than a wall taking driven rain.

Does it need a driver?

No. It runs directly on 240V AC mains.

Is there a globe to replace?

No. The 10W LED is built into the fitting.

Can it be dimmed?

No. The Roto is not a dimmable fitting.
