The Fortis is the twin-lamp member of this family two GU10 globes in one304-stainless body, both facing down. Where the single-lamp Piaz marks a pillar, the Fortis lights it,because two 5W lamps side by side produce a wider, more even wash than one lamp can.

Two lamps, one fitting

The practical difference is coverage rather than brightness. Two sources spaced apart in the bodyoverlap into a broader field with softer edges, so a wide pillar or a section of rendered wall is litevenly instead of showing a single bright scallop. The cost is two globes to replace instead of one.

Where it works

• Wide driveway pillars and gate posts, where one lamp would leave the edges dark.
• Entry walls needing an even wash rather than a single pool of light.
• Poolside and weather-exposed positions 304 stainless with no paint film to blister. Havits salt-water exclusion below names 304 stainless, so read it before specifying near the sea.
• Covered entries and under eaves IP54 covers rain and splashing.

Specifying it

It takes two GU10 globes, supplied at 5W each: 270lm at 3000K,285lm at 4000K and 300lm at 5500K per lamp, on a 120 beam.Do not exceed 35W in either 240V GU10 socket. It runs on 240V AC withno driver, IP54, CRI above 80, and is not dimmable with the globes supplied.

Supplied and supported by Lights For You. Fit both globes from the same batch and at the same colourtemperature two lamps in one fitting make a mismatch obvious in a way a single lamp never does.

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. Note that 304 stainless steel is named in this restriction 316 stainless steel is not named in it. 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

How many globes does it take?

Two GU10 globes, both facing down, supplied at 5W each.

Does it need a driver?

No. It runs on 240V AC and takes mains-voltage GU10 globes.

What is the maximum globe wattage?

35W in each 240V GU10 socket. This is a thermal limit on the fitting.

How is it different from the single-lamp version?

Two lamps spaced apart give a wider, more even wash rather than more brightness in one spot. Better for a wide pillar.

How bright is it?

Per lamp: 270lm at 3000K, 285lm at 4000K and 300lm at 5500K, on a 120 beam.

Can it be dimmed?
