This is the least expensive way into the Tivah range and, on a lot of jobs, the correct one. Fixed down means no tilt and no swivel: the beam leaves the fitting straight at the ground, so a run of them along a wall lands matching pools without anyone aiming anything. The body is aluminium finished in textured white on a matching backing plate.

White, and what it does in daylight

Half of what an exterior wall light does is happen during the day, when it is simply an object on a wall. Textured white on a rendered or painted surface reads as part of the wall rather than as hardware bolted to it, which is why it outsells the darker finishes on modern facades. On a dark brick or charcoal wall the black version does the same job in reverse.

Three part numbers

• HV1135T 240V GU10 with Havits 9-in-1 switchable globe: 240560lm at 3000K, 255595lm at 4000K and 270630lm at 5500K as the globe steps through 3W, 5W and 7W. Triac dimmable.
• HV1137GU10T 240V GU10 fixed at 5W: 270lm, 285lm and 300lm across the three temperatures.
• HV1137MR16T the same output on 12V DC MR16, requiring an external driver.

The gap between them is worth thinking about rather than defaulting to the cheapest. The switchable globe lets output be set after the fitting is up and the wall is lit, and it is the only one of the three that will dim. The fixed versions are simpler and cost less, and on a wall where you already know how much light you want, that is the whole story.

Installing it

Both GU10 versions wire straight to 240V mains with an earth. The MR16 version is 12V DC and needs an LED driver, sited no more than 25m away with the supply within 5% of nominal outside either limit Havit voids the warranty. Globes are replaceable to a maximum of 35W on a 240V GU10 or 20W on a 12V MR16. Colour temperature is a switch on the globe itself, set at install. IP65 covers a fully exposed wall with no eave above it. One restriction to check before ordering: the body is powder-coated aluminium, and Havit excludes installation within 5km of salt water on a coastal site the solid brass, solid copper or 316 stainless Tivah is the version to buy. All three versions carry a 3-year replacement warranty, and Lights For You can quote the coastal equivalent alongside this one if you are not sure which side of that line your site sits.

Questions

Can the head be aimed?

No. This is the fixed-down version, which points straight at the ground. The single adjustable Tivah is the same fitting with 90 tilt and 270 swivel if you need to aim it.

Which version is dimmable?

HV1135T, on a Triac dimmer, because of the switchable globe it ships with. HV1137GU10T and HV1137MR16T are not dimmable as supplied.

Is it suitable near the beach?

No. The body is powder-coated aluminium and Havit excludes sites within 5 km of salt water. Choose the solid brass, solid copper or 316 stainless Tivah instead.

What is the difference between HV1135T and HV1137GU10T?

HV1135T includes a 9-in-1 globe switchable across 3 W, 5 W and 7 W; HV1137GU10T is fixed at 5 W. The housings are identical.

Does the 12 V version need anything else?

Yes, a 12 V DC LED driver, within 25 m of the fitting, with the supply held inside 5% of nominal.

What is the maximum globe wattage?

35 W on the 240 V GU10 versions and 20 W on the 12 V MR16.

Do I pick the colour temperature when ordering?

No. Every version ships with a TRI Colour globe carrying a switch for 3000K, 4000K and 5500K, set during installation.
