4-6w Wall Light with Eyelid

This is an up-and-down wall light: it throws light in two directions from a single point, washing the wall above and below it rather than putting a pool on the floor.

The effect is a pair of light shapes on the surface, and the surface is what does the work. On render or rough stone the texture is picked out and the fitting reads as architectural; on a flat painted wall the same fitting gives two clean triangles of light and reads as graphic. Neither is wrong – but the wall decides which you get, so it is worth looking at the surface before choosing.

Mounting height decides the proportion of those shapes. Mounted low the beams are short and intense; higher up they stretch and soften. Consistency along a run matters more than the exact height.

Light output and colour

This is a tri-colour fitting: the colour temperature is selected at installation rather than fixed at manufacture. It runs at 3000K (188lm), 4000K (215lm), 5500K (211lm).

That is genuinely useful rather than a specification-sheet feature. Colour temperature is the setting people most often get wrong and most regret, and it cannot be judged from a showroom – it depends on the surfaces in the room and on the light around it. A switchable fitting lets the decision be made in place, and changed if it is wrong.

Set every fitting on a run to the same value. Mixed colour temperatures in one space are obvious and look like a fault, which is the one way a tri-colour fitting can make a result worse rather than better.

The beam spread is 50 (ASSYMETRICAL).

Where it can be installed

At IP67 this fitting is rated for full outdoor exposure – rain, hosing and weather.

A weather rating is not a corrosion rating, and the two are confused constantly. The IP number describes water and dust ingress; what survives a coastal site is the material and the finish, and that is the thing to check within a few kilometres of the sea.

It carries an IK08 impact rating, which is what matters where a fitting can be stepped on, driven over or knocked.

It is made from 316 stainless steel.

Powering and installing it

Plan the cable route before anything is fixed. It is the part of an installation that cannot be changed afterwards without undoing the rest of it, and it is the reason otherwise finished jobs get left half done.

Rated life is >30,000 hrs.

Before you order

Two checks save most of the problems that show up after an installation is finished. The first is where the fitting will actually be seen from: a light chosen for how it looks in a product photograph is being judged from a viewpoint nobody will ever stand in, and the same fitting can be discreet from the house and glaring from the street.

The second is what else is going in around it. A single fitting is rarely the whole scheme, and matching colour temperature and finish across everything in a space matters more to the result than the specification of any one item in it. Mixed colour temperatures in particular read as a fault rather than as a choice.

If you are unsure whether this suits what you are lighting, our team at Lights For You will talk it through against the actual space rather than the specification sheet.

Specifying and pricing this

This is part of the Havit Commercial range, which is priced on application rather than listed. Use the enquiry button on this page and we will come back with pricing for the quantity you need.

Commercial fittings are usually specified in quantity against a lighting plan, where the count, the colour temperature and the control method all have to agree across the job. We can check a schedule against what is actually available before it is issued.

Confirm availability before a specification is issued. Commercial ranges change, and a product written into a drawing that is no longer stocked is a change order later, when it is far more expensive to fix.

Frequently asked questions

What does tri-colour mean?

The colour temperature is selectable at installation – 3000K, 4000K, 5500K – rather than fixed. Set every fitting on a run to the same value.

How much power does it use?

6W. Add up every fitting on the run before sizing a driver or transformer.

Can it go outside?

Yes – it is rated IP67 for outdoor exposure. Within a few kilometres of the sea, check the material as well as the rating.

Do I need an electrician?

Yes. Connecting a fitting to mains is licensed electrical work in Australia.

Why is there no price shown?

The Havit Commercial range is priced on application. Send an enquiry from this page with the quantity you need and we will come back with pricing.

How do I get pricing?

Send an enquiry from this page with the part number and the quantity. Pricing on this range depends on the job, so it is quoted rather than listed.

What warranty does it carry?

5 Years*
