Titanium is the mid-tone in the Tivah range: a warm grey with a faint bronze cast, darker than the silver and softer than the black. It is the finish that works when the wall is neither pale render nor charcoal brick brick blends, sandstone, timber cladding, anything with warmth in it. The fitting itself is the fixed-down Tivah, one head on a matching backing plate, permanently aimed at the ground, with a high-output reflector behind the lamp to push light forward instead of letting it scatter inside the housing.

What you are choosing between

Three part numbers share the body and differ entirely in the lamp:

• HV1185T ships with Havit’s 9-in-1 GU10 globe. Both wattage and colour temperature are switch-selected on the globe: 3 W, 5 W or 7 W, producing 240560 lm at 3000K, 255595 lm at 4000K and 270630 lm at 5500K across the range. It is 240 V, its beam is 60, and Havit lists it as Triac dimmable the only one of the three that is.
• HV1187GU10T is the same 240 V fitting with a fixed 5 W tri-colour GU10: 270 / 285 / 300 lm and a wider 120 spread.
• HV1187MR16T is the 12 V DC version on an MR16, identical output and beam, and it requires a 12 V DC LED driver.

Narrow or wide, and why it matters more than the wattage

The 60 and 120 figures come from the globe, not the housing, and they change the character of the installation more than the lumen figure does. A 60 beam draws a distinct arc down the wall deliberate, architectural, and it shows off texture. A 120 beam washes the whole panel evenly and is the better answer next to a door where you want faces lit rather than brickwork. You can change your mind later by changing the globe, provided you stay under Havit’s caps of 35 W on 240 V GU10 and 20 W on 12 V MR16.

Installation and limits

The rating is IP65, so this can sit on an unprotected wall with no eave above it. The body is powder-coated aluminium, and Havit excludes aluminium and 304 stainless fittings from sites within 5 km of salt water a warranty condition, not a suggestion, and the 316 stainless Tivah exists for exactly those addresses. If you run the 12 V version, keep it within 25 m of the driver and hold the supply within 5% of 12 V.

Wiring is parallel, CRI is above 80, and the warranty is 3 years replacement.

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.

• HV1185T, HV1187GU10T 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.
• HV1187MR16T 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

What does titanium actually look like?

A warm mid-grey with a slight bronze undertone between the silver and the black in the same range. It suits brick, sandstone and timber better than a cool silver does.

Is the 7 W setting worth it over 5 W?

At 5500K the switchable globe in HV1185T runs 270 lm to 630 lm across its three wattages, so yes if you want reach. The fixed 5 W globes in the HV1187 variants sit at 300 lm and cannot be raised.

Which one dims?

HV1185T only, and only because its supplied 9-in-1 globe is Triac dimmable. The fixed 5 W globes in HV1187GU10T and HV1187MR16T are not dimmable as supplied.

Can I run the 12 V one from the same circuit as the 240 V one?

No. HV1187MR16T needs a 12 V DC LED driver of its own. It cannot be connected to mains, and it must sit within 25 m of that driver with the supply held to 5%.

Will it survive a coastal site?

Not within 5 km of salt water Havit excludes aluminium bodies there and the warranty does not apply. The 316 stainless Tivah is the version to ask us about.

Can I change the beam later?

Yes. The beam belongs to the globe, so swapping to a different GU10 changes it. Stay under 35 W on the 240 V version and 20 W on the 12 V one.

Does it need an eave over it?

No. IP65 covers dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction, so a fully exposed wall or pillar is within rating.
