The Fedor Square at 925 mm is the tallest fitting in this family a120 mm square post in poly powder-coated black aluminium, with a sealed12 W tri-colour built-in LED behind a clear Perspex diffuser and a1 directional 60 output. It is the combination to reach for when youwant both the squared profile and enough height to clear planting along a driveway or entry path.

It is the brightest of the four, and the shape is why

Havit gives this body 770 lm at 3000K, 780 lm at 4000K and775 lm at 5500K. The round Fedors run 610 lm to 620 lm on the same12 W, so the square is the brighter body and the 525 mm square carries these samefigures, which means the extra height buys reach rather than light. 4000K is the brightest ofthe three settings, so output does not climb as the colour temperature rises.

Mains or low voltage, decided by the part number

HV1631T-BLK-240V-SQ is a 240 V AC mains fitting andProtection Class 1, wired with an earth and the earth connected first.HV1631T-BLK-24V-SQ is 24 V DC andProtection Class 3 Havit records it as no earth required and runsfrom a suitable 24 V DC LED driver, with the supply reaching the fitting held inside5% of the voltage required or the warranty is void. Both are installed by anelectrician working to AS/NZS 3000, and where several run from one circuit they arewired in parallel.

No globe, no dimming, and the quality figures

The engine is sealed into the fitting: built-in LED, no lamp holder, no socket, sothere is nothing to replace and no maximum globe wattage to work to. It is notdimmable. Colour rendering is CRI >80, with SDCM <5and UGR <12, and lamp expectancy is >30,000hrs.

Selecting the colour temperature

It leaves the factory on 3000K. Loosen the allen screws on the side, lift the topoff, move the switch on the underside of the top to 3000K, 4000K or 5500K, and refitthe top with its seals seated so water cannot get past them.

IP65 and IK08, and the one place it must not go

The body is IP65 for weather and IK08 for impact on the IK01IK10scale. Havit states that aluminium and 304SS fittings must not be installed within 5 km of anysalt water environments, and this is an aluminium fitting, so that is a condition on thewarranty and not a preference.

Mounting a tall bollard properly

The base plate fixes to concrete or a concrete pad and the fitting mustnot be installed under ground level. Silicone every hole including the cable entry andaround the fitting at ground level, keep the o-rings and seals in place, and fix the cable entry if yourcable is not circular. The screws supplied are mild steel: on a post this tall it isworth replacing them with a higher grade wherever water can reach them, because the leverage on thebase plate is greater than on the short version. Havit lists HV162X-CI anchor bolts asthe accessory for these bollards. Every figure on this page for the square 925 mm Fedor was taken byLights For You from the Fedor Square data sheet, the shared installation instructions and Havit’s page forthis model, which states a 3 Years Replacement Warranty.

Questions

Which Fedor is the brightest?

This one and the 525 mm square, equally. Havit gives both square bodies 770 lm, 780 lm and 775 lm, against 610 lm to 620 lm for the two round versions on the same 12 W.

Do I get more light by going taller?

No. The 525 mm square carries the same output figures. Height changes how far the light reaches across a path and how the bollard looks against planting, not how much light it makes.

What is the difference between the two part numbers?

Supply only. HV1631T-BLK-240V-SQ is 240 V AC mains, Protection Class 1, earthed. HV1631T-BLK-24V-SQ is 24 V DC, Protection Class 3 with no earth required, and runs from a 24 V DC LED driver.

Can the low-voltage version go straight to mains?

No. Havit’s instruction is to use an appropriate 24 V DC LED driver and do not connect the light fitting direct to 240 V. The supply also has to stay within 5% of the voltage required.

How do I set the colour temperature?

Loosen the allen screws on the side of the fitting, lift the top off, and move the switch on the underside of the top to 3000K, 4000K or 5500K. It arrives set to 3000K.

Is it suitable near salt water?

No. Havit states that aluminium and 304SS fittings must not be installed within 5 km of any salt water environments, and this bollard is aluminium. That is a warranty condition.

Is there a globe, and can it be dimmed?

No to both. The 12 W engine is a sealed built-in LED with no lamp holder, and Havit’s documents record the fitting as not dimmable.
