The Aries is Havits up-and-down wall light in 316 stainless steel, sold here in polished stainless, black, white or antique brass and wired straight to 240V mains. Two built-in LEDs throw a 60 beam up the wall and another down it, so a facade, an entry or a garage pier is lit by the wall itself rather than by a fitting you end up looking at.

Two 6W emitters, and one figure for the whole fitting

Havit rates the Aries at 2 6W, so the fitting draws 12W in total. Its ordering table prints the output the same way 2 448lm, 2 576lm and 2 534lm and that 2 prefix is Havits own marker for a twin-lamp fitting. Doubled out, it delivers 896lm at 3000K, 1152lm at 4000K and 1068lm at 5500K. Those are the figures we publish, because they are the fittings total output: half of it goes up and half goes down.

4000K is the brightest setting, and that is not the obvious answer

Output does not climb steadily as the light gets cooler. 4000K is the brightest at 1152lm; the coolest setting, 5500K, drops back to 1068lm, and 3000K is the dimmest at 896lm. On plenty of fittings the coolest setting is also the brightest, so it is worth checking per fitting rather than assuming.

You set the colour once, from inside the base

It is tri-colour 3000K, 4000K or 5500K on a slide switch inside the base of the fitting, shipped preset to 3000K. Reaching it means loosening the allen screws in the side and lifting the body off its base plate, so the choice gets made on the ladder rather than at the switchboard. The beam is a fixed 60, not adjustable, and the fitting is not dimmable.

Mains only, and it needs an earth

There is one supply here: 240V AC. It takes no driver and no transformer, and none is supplied. It is Class1, so an earth is required Havits instruction is to connect the earth first and then live and neutral. Where several sit on one run, they are wired in parallel.

Stainless steel needs cleaning, and the warranty says so

Havit is explicit that all 316 and 304 stainless steel fittings must be cleaned regularly to avoid tea staining, and that the warranty does not cover tea staining. It is maintenance, not a fault, and it is the one exclusion on this fittings own instructions. Sealing matters too: all o-rings and seals must be correctly in place to maintain the warranty, the screws must be tight so water cannot penetrate, and silicone goes around the edge of the fitting on install. Modifying the fitting voids the warranty. Havit backs it for 3 years, replacement, on items ordered after 01/01/2022.

What the drawing tells you, and what it does not

The body is 60mm and it mounts on a base plate taking two 4mm fixings around a 15mm cable entry. Those are the only figures the drawing labels the diameter symbol is the labelling and the rest are printed without labelling which is height, which is width and which is the wall projection, so we publish no overall dimensions and no projection. It is IP65 behind clear glass, carries an IK08 impact rating and a rated life of >30,000hrs. Lights For You stocks all four finishes and will check it against your wall and your circuit before you order.

Questions

Do I double the lumen figures for the up and the down beam?

They are already doubled here. Havit prints 2 448lm, 2 576lm and 2 534lm against a 2 6W rating, which is its own notation for a twin-lamp fitting, so the whole fitting produces 896, 1152 and 1068lm. Those totals are what we publish and what the specification table shows.

Which colour temperature gives the most light?

4000K, at 1152lm. The coolest setting is not the brightest on this fitting 5500K gives 1068lm and 3000K the least at 896lm. It is worth checking per fitting rather than assuming, because the order is not the same across the range.

How do I change the colour temperature?

There is a slide switch inside the base of the fitting. Loosen the allen screws in the side, lift the body off its base plate, choose 3000K, 4000K or 5500K, then reseat it with all seals correctly in place and the screws tight so water cannot penetrate. It arrives preset to 3000K.

Does it need a driver or a transformer?

Neither. This is a 240V AC mains fitting that wires straight to the circuit. It is Class1, so an earth is required, and Havit asks for the earth to be connected before live and neutral. Fittings sharing a run are wired in parallel.

Can it be dimmed?

No. Havits current data sheet and its installation instructions both record this model as not dimmable. If you want an exterior wall light you can dim, ask us there is a solid brass version of this same fitting that is Triac dimmable, and we can quote it.

Will the stainless steel stain?

It can, and Havit says so plainly: 316 and 304 stainless steel fittings need regular cleaning to avoid tea staining, and the warranty does not cover tea staining. It shows as a brown surface bloom rather than rust, and washing the fitting down as part of ordinary maintenance is what prevents it.

Do I ever need to buy a globe for it?

No. The LEDs are built into the fitting there is no lamp holder, no socket and nothing to replace. That is also why the colour temperature is chosen on the switch in the base rather than by buying a different lamp.

How far does it project from the wall?

We do not publish that figure. Havits drawing prints the bodys measurements without saying which is height, which is width and which is the projection, and a guessed projection on a wall light is exactly how one gets sent back. What is labelled the 60mm body, the 15mm cable entry and the two 4mm fixings is in the table above, and the dimensioned drawing is in the data sheet on this page.
