Tivah is Havit’s long-running up/down wall pillar light: powder-coatedblack aluminium with a matching backing plate and a high-output reflector, rated IP65for open outdoor positions. It is the fitting most often specified in pairs either sideof a garage door or along a pillar run, where the twin up-and-down wash gives a rhythmdown a driveway.

The choice to make: which part number

The three options are not finishes they are different voltages and lampbases, and the difference matters before you wire anything:

• HV1025T 240V AC, GU10 globes, 60 beam. Wires straight tomains, no driver. The tighter beam throws a defined column up and down the wall.
• HV1027GU10T 240V AC, GU10 globes, 120 beam. Same wiring, awider and softer spread.
• HV1027MR16T 12V DC, MR16 globes, 120 beam.This one requires a 12V DC LED driver and must never be connecteddirectly to 240V.

Where it works

• Driveway pillars and gateposts a repeated up/down wash marks the approach.
• Garage and entry walls mounted in pairs for symmetry.
• Exposed outdoor walls IP65 with a marine-style backing plate.

Specifying it

All three are tri-colour selectable: 3000K, 4000K or 5500K, set at the globe. Chooseone temperature for the whole run. The globes are replaceable, which is the practicaladvantage of this fitting over a sealed built-in LED but they arebase-specific: a GU10 globe does not fit an MR16 fitting and thereverse is also true, so match the globe to the part number you bought.

If you specify the 12V MR16 version, size the driver for the total load ofevery fitting on the circuit, not for one light. Havit also requires thefitting to sit within 25m of its driver and the supply to staywithin 5% of nominal outside those limits the warranty doesnot apply. Installation by a licensed electrician.

Backed by a 3-year replacement warranty.

Coastal siting Havits condition

Havits installation instructions for this fitting state that aluminium and 304 stainless steel fittings must not be installed within 5 km of any salt water environment. That is a condition on where the fitting may go, and it sits beside the IP rating rather than inside it: a fitting can be rated for direct rain and still fall outside this rule, because the issue is salt carried in the air rather than water landing on the surface. If your site is inside that zone, talk to us before you specify it Lights For You can point you at a fitting whose material Havit does not name here.

Earthing and protection class

This listing sells more than one supply, and the earthing requirement is not the same on both. Check which part number you are wiring before you start.

• HV1025T, HV1027GU10T run on 240 V AC mains and are Protection Class 1 an earth is required at the fitting. Havit’s installation sheet has the installer connect the earth conductor first, then live and neutral.
• HV1027MR16T run on 12 V DC and are Protection Class 3 no earth is required at the fitting. The isolation comes from the LED driver rather than from an earth conductor, and these part numbers must never be connected directly to 240 V.

Questions

Which version do I need GU10 or MR16?

If you are wiring to mains, choose a 240V GU10 version(HV1025T or HV1027GU10T). Choose the MR16 version only if you already have, or intendto install, a 12V DC circuit with a driver.

Does the 12V version really need a driver?

Yes, and it is not optional. HV1027MR16T is a 12V DC fitting.Connecting it directly to 240V will destroy it and voids the warranty. It needs a 12V DCLED driver sized for the whole circuit’s wattage.

How far can the fitting be from the driver?

No more than 25m, and the supply must stay within5% of nominal voltage. Long thin cable runs cause voltage drop, which shows upas dimming or colour shift and falls outside the warranty.

Can I replace the globes later?

Yes that is the point of this fitting. Replace like for like:GU10 for the GU10 models, MR16 for the 12V model. Check the replacement is tri-colourif you want to keep the switchable temperature.

What is the difference between the 60 and 120 beams?

The 60 option (HV1025T) throws a narrower, more definedcolumn of light better on a tall pillar or where you want a crisp graze. The 120options spread wider and softer, which suits lower walls and broader coverage.
