The HV5529T is the Gleam deep recessed downlight built for a 76mm cut-out. That single number is the whole reason it exists alongside the 90mm HV5528T: the light engine, the 9W rating, the output, the beam and the ratings are identical, and only the hole in the ceiling is smaller. This listing carries seven insert combinations HV5529T-BB, -BC, -BG, -WB, -WC, -WG and -WW each a complete luminaire with its own driver, flex and plug.
A downlight is chosen twice: once for how it looks and once for whether it fits the hole. If you are replacing older fittings, matching the existing cut-out saves patching every ceiling in the room, and 76mm is the size that the larger Gleam cannot cover. The body measures 82mm across the face and 66mm deep, rising to about 76mm deep with the HV5528-IC4CAP fitted. One of Havit’s own documents contradicts itself here: the installation sheet’s specification table prints a 90mm cut-out while its own dimension drawings on the same page print 76 twice. The dated model data sheet, the drawings and Havit’s own product pages all say 76mm, and that is the figure to cut to.
The insert is the visible bezel black, chrome, gold or white, over a black or white face. It is a finish decision, not an optical one. All seven part numbers give 680lm at 3000K, 795lm at 4000K and 745lm at 5500K from the same built-in 9W LED, with a 90 beam and CRI>80. The colour temperature is set by a switch on the back before the fitting goes in, and the middle setting is the brightest 5500K gives about 6% less than 4000K.
The fitting is IC-4 only when the HV5528-IC4CAP is used, that rating applies to the fitting only and the driver may not be installed under insulation, and the fixture must not be used with loose-fill insulation such as macerated paper or wool. The driver must sit above any insulation covering the fitting so it can ventilate.
It runs on 240V AC from a separate driver, is Protection Class 2 so needs no earth at the fitting, is IK08, rated >30,000hrs and Triac dimmable. IP54 covers the front of the fitting only. Havit’s warranty line for these part numbers reads “3 Years replacement warranty (items ordered after 01/01/22)”. Lights For You lists the 90mm version of the same engine as HV5528T, and a dim-to-warm model on this identical 76mm cut-out as HV5529D2W.
What cut-out does the HV5529T need?
76mm. Its own dated data sheet states it twice, its dimension drawings state it twice more, and Havits page for each of these part numbers states it. Note that the installation sheets specification table prints 90mm that cell contradicts the drawings on the same document and is wrong for this model.
How is it different from the HV5528T?
Only the hole. Same 9W engine, same 680/795/745lm, same 90 beam, same ratings the HV5528T needs a 90mm cut-out and the HV5529T needs 76mm.
Are these complete lights?
Yes. Each part number is a whole downlight with driver, flex and plug. Havit lists all nine HV5529T insert combinations in one Model No. row on the installation sheet, so the insert is a model variant rather than a separate accessory.
Which colour temperature is brightest?
4000K, at 795lm. 3000K gives 680lm and 5500K gives 745lm, so cooler is not brighter on this fitting.
How much depth does it need above the ceiling?
The body is 66mm deep and about 76mm with the HV5528-IC4CAP fitted, plus room for the driver, which must sit above any insulation rather than under it.
Can it be covered by insulation?
Only with the HV5528-IC4CAP fitted, and only the fitting itself. Havit states the driver may not be installed under insulation, and that loose-fill insulation such as macerated paper or wool must not be used with this fixture at all.
Can it be dimmed?
Yes Triac dimmable, with the HV9625 Triac dimmer offered to suit Havits Triac dimmable drivers. If you want the light to warm as it dims, that is the separate HV5529D2W model on the same cut-out.

This listing is the Gleam deep recessed downlight in the five insert combinations Havit does not sell from a plain black or white page: HV5528T-BG black with a gold insert, HV5528T-WB white with black, HV5528T-WC white with chrome, HV5528T-WG white with gold and HV5528T-WW white with white. Every one is a complete 9W luminaire, not a trim ring the insert is the visible bezel colour, and the light engine, the driver, the output and the 90mm cut-out are identical across all five.
The insert sits inside the polycarbonate face and is the part of the fitting a room actually sees. A chrome or gold bezel picks up tapware and hardware; white on white disappears into a plasterboard ceiling; black on white reads as a deliberate graphic detail. None of that touches the optics. All five measure 680lm at 3000K, 795lm at 4000K and 745lm at 5500K from the same built-in 9W LED, with a 90 beam and CRI>80. The colour temperature is set by a switch on the back of the fitting before it goes in.
Havit’s ordering row puts the brightest setting at 4000K, not at the coolest. 5500K gives about 6% less light than 4000K, and 3000K about 14% less. Choose the colour for the room and treat the small difference in output as a consequence rather than a lever a common assumption on tri-colour fittings is that cooler means brighter, and on this one it does not.
The Gleam reaches IC-4 only when the HV5528-IC4CAP is fitted. Havit then qualifies that rating twice more: it covers the fitting only, and the driver may not be installed under insulation; and the fixture must not be used with loose-fill insulation such as macerated paper or wool. The driver has to sit above any insulation covering the fitting so it can ventilate. The cap adds about 10mm to the depth the ceiling void has to give up.
It runs on 240V AC from a separate driver and is supplied with a flex and plug, landing on a plug base fixed in the ceiling. It is Protection Class 2, so no earth is required at the fitting, IK08, rated >30,000hrs and Triac dimmable. IP54 covers the front of the fitting only the face resists dust and splashing, the plenum side does not. Havit’s warranty line for these part numbers reads “3 Years replacement warranty (items ordered after 01/01/22)”. Havit’s two current sheets and its earlier model sheet give different body dimensions for this housing, so Lights For You does not publish an overall size here the 90mm cut-out is agreed by every source, and the depth should be confirmed on site.
What cut-out do these need?
90mm. That figure is identical on the model data sheet, on the installation sheet and on Havits own page for each of these part numbers. The smaller-hole Gleam is a different model HV5529T, on a 76mm cut-out so check which one you are ordering before the ceiling is cut.
Are these accessories or complete lights?
Complete lights. Each part number is a whole 9W downlight supplied with its driver, flex and plug; the insert is simply the bezel colour. Havit lists all nine insert combinations alongside the plain black and white models in one Model No. row on the installation sheet.
Which colour temperature is brightest?
4000K, at 795lm. 5500K gives 745lm and 3000K gives 680lm, so the coolest setting is not the brightest on this fitting.
Can they be covered by insulation?
Only with the HV5528-IC4CAP fitted, and even then the rating covers the fitting alone. Havit states that the driver may not be installed under insulation and must be mounted above it to ventilate, and that loose-fill insulation such as macerated paper or wool must not be used with this fixture at all.
Do they need an earth?
No. They are Protection Class 2 and arrive with a flex and plug that lands on a plug base installed in the ceiling.
Are they dimmable?
Yes Havit lists them as Triac dimmable, and offers the HV9625 Triac dimmer to suit its Triac dimmable drivers. Havit also publishes a DALI-dimming equivalent of this fitting through its Commercial range for projects on a control system.
Why is no overall size shown?
Because Havits documents disagree. The dated model sheet these listings carry and the current installation sheet give one body size; an earlier model sheet for the same housing gives another, and Havits website publishes no dimensions in its page copy. Rather than pick one, this page publishes the cut-out which every source agrees on and the fact that the insulation cap adds about 10mm of depth.
