The large Madix is the statement fitting in Havits galvanised-iron range: 507mm tall, the biggest lantern of the nine, and the only one carrying three separate globes inside one glass-sided body. It is bought for presence rather than for coverage a pair of these on a wide entry does a job no single-globe lantern does.

Three globes, and why the numbers look wrong at first glance

This fitting takes 3 4W E14 LED filament globes, each producing 300lumens at 2700K with a 120 spread. Havits sheet prints those as per-globe figures, which is why a spec list can appear to say 4W, 300lm for a fitting that is nothing of the sort. The whole lantern draws about 12W and puts out roughly 900lumens more than any single-globe fitting in this range, and noticeably more than the 700lumen Madix S it shares a shape with.

The three-lamp layout also changes the character of the light. Three smaller sources behind glass read as a lantern with depth rather than one bright point, which is the reason the shape exists.

The base is E14, not E27

Worth checking before you buy replacements: the large Madix uses the smaller E14 candle base, while the single-globe Madix beside it on the shelf uses E27. The two models share a name, a silhouette and a data sheet, and they do not share a globe. Havits ceiling for this fitting is 40W, applied per globe holder, and all three lamps are replaceable.

Where it must not go

Havit states the Madix is not suitable for installation in coastal areas or environments exposed to salt water a blanket exclusion with no distance attached. Galvanised iron is zinc-coated steel and salt air attacks the coating, so for anything near the sea the correct specification is 316 stainless steel or solid brass.

The weather limit inland is IP44: splash-rated, so it needs an eave, porch or covered entry above it rather than open sky. Impact resistance is IK02.

Power, control and install

It wires directly to 240V mains with no driver in the fitting and none required, and all three globes are Triac dimmable together from a single wall dimmer Havits HV9625 300W dial dimmer is the matched control. Wiring is parallel, so the three lamps run independently and one failing does not take the others with it. It is Protection Class 1 and requires an earth.

Havit makes two assembly steps warranty conditions: rubber pads on every glass tab before glazing, and a silicone bead around the edge of the fitting after mounting. CRI is above 80 and colour is held within SDCM 5, which matters more here than usual three globes in one body will show any mismatch between them.

Lights For You stocks both Madix sizes so the three-globe and single-globe versions can be compared side by side. Warranty is 3 years replacement.

Questions

How many globes does it take, and how bright is it really?

Three. Each is a 4W E14 LED filament at 300 lumens, so the fitting draws around 12W and produces roughly 900 lumens in total. Havits data sheet prints the per-globe figures, which is why a spec list can look like it says 4W and 300 lumens.

Does it use the same globe as the smaller Madix?

No, and this is easy to get wrong. The large Madix takes E14 candle-base globes; the single-globe Madix takes E27. They share a name, a shape and a data sheet but not a lamp.

What is the maximum globe wattage?

40W per globe holder, from Havits Madix data sheet. All three globes are replaceable.

Can I install it at a coastal property?

No. Havit states it is not suitable for installation in coastal areas or environments exposed to salt water. Choose 316 stainless steel or solid brass near the sea.

Do all three globes dim together?

Yes. The fitting is Triac dimmable from one standard mains dimmer and all three lamps respond together. There is no driver inside it runs directly off 240V.

What happens if one globe fails?

The others stay lit. Wiring is parallel, so the three lamps operate independently.

How big is it?

It stands 507mm tall, the largest fitting in this Havit lantern range. The data sheet drawing carries width and wall projection as well if clearance is tight.
