The Nepean is a 12W fixed wall light with a polycarbonate diffuser rather than clear glass, andthat single difference is the reason to choose it. A PC diffuser spreads the LED behind a soft whiteface instead of showing a bright aperture, so the fitting glows evenly and you can look at it without ahotspot in your eye. On an entry wall beside a door at head height that matters more than raw output.

Diffused, not directional

Where a glass-fronted fitting throws a defined beam, the Nepeans diffuser scatters light acrossa wider, softer field. It is the better choice next to a doorway, along a passage wall, or anywhere aguest stands close to the fitting; it is the worse choice if you specifically want a tight scallop oflight down a feature wall. Choose on that behaviour rather than on wattage.

Where it works

• Beside front and side entry doors, at or near head height, where glare would otherwise be a problem.
• Passage and side-access walls that need even light along their length rather than pools.
• Under eaves and in covered porches IP54 handles rain and splashing.
• Apartment and townhouse entries where a soft-faced fitting suits a compact space.

Specifying it

A 12W LED is built in, so there is no globe and no socket. Tri-colour switching is set atinstallation and each setting has its own output: 1,180lm at 3000K, 1,320lm at4000K and 1,240lm at 5500K note that 4000K is the brightest of the threehere, which is worth knowing if you are matching brightness across a facade. It runs on 240V AC withno separate driver, is not dimmable, and CRI is above 80. The body is poly powder coatedaluminium, IP54, in white or black at the same price.

Supplied and supported by Lights For You. If you are pairing the Nepean with a glass-fronted fittingelsewhere on the same elevation, set both to the same colour temperature or the diffuser will read as adifferent white.

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 fitting runs on 240 V AC mains and is 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.

Questions

Does it need a driver?

No. The Nepean runs on 240V AC and the driver for the 12W LED is inside the fitting.

Is there a globe to change?

No. The 12W LED is integrated, with no socket and no replaceable lamp.

Can I dim it?

No. This fitting is not dimmable.

Which colour temperature is brightest?

4000K, at 1,320lm. 3000K gives 1,180lm and 5500K gives 1,240lm.

Why choose this over a glass-fronted wall light?

The polycarbonate diffuser spreads the light and hides the LED, so there is no bright hotspot. That suits positions close to eye level, such as beside a door.

Can it go on an exposed wall?

IP54 covers rain and splashing, which suits a normal external or under-eave wall. It is not rated for direct wash-down or coastal driven spray.

How long is the warranty?

Three years, as a replacement warranty.
