Two independently aimable heads on one metre-long stem and one restriction to check beforeyou buy. This is the aluminium body, and Havit’s installation sheet states that aluminiumfittings must not be installed within 2 km of any salt water environment. Within thatdistance, choose the 316 stainless or solid brass Tivah instead. Beyond it, aluminium is the sensiblepick: it is the least expensive twin-head in the family, and powder-coated black it vanishes intoplanting by day.

The number that catches people specifying a run

Each head carries its own 5 W MR16, so this fitting draws 10 W, not5 W. Havit’s own specification records the lamp wattage for this model as 2 x 5 w andthe output as 2 x 270 lm at 3000K, 2 x 285 lm at 4000K and 2 x 300 lm at 5500K 540,570 or 600 lm across the fitting. Six of them is a 60 W load, not 30 W, and a driver sized on thesingle-head figure will be short. The heads are wired in parallel, so one globe failingleaves the other lit.

Why two heads rather than two fittings

Each head tilts through 90 and swivels through 270 on its own, soa single fitting can wash a driveway one way and a garden bed the other from one hole in the ground andone cable. Along a path it lights both directions instead of alternating singles down the run. The1000 mm stem stands the heads near knee height once set buried or sleeved to suit,and worth deciding before the cable run is closed, since the lead exits the base.

Globes, colour and supply

• Both globes are tri-colour and each is set at the globe itself: cover offanti-clockwise, glass out, switch on the side. Preset to 3000K. Set both the same unless you genuinelywant two colours from one fitting.
• The beam belongs to the globes, not the housing. The supplied MR16s are 120floods; narrower MR16s make the same fitting a pair of spots. Each socket is rated to20 W.
• 12 V DC from a suitable 12 V DC LED driver. Do not connect the fitting directly to240 V.
• No more than 25 m from the driver, supply within 5% of 12 V both are warranty conditions, and both bite sooner on a run of 10 W fittings than people expect.
• Not dimmable with the globes supplied. 2 m of reinforced cable,joints soldered and sealed. Never force a head past its stop; the internal cable twists and shorts, andthat damage is excluded.

IP65, CRI above 80, and a 3-year replacement warranty.

Earthing and protection class

This fitting runs on 12 V DC and is Protection Class 3 no earth is required at the fitting. The isolation comes from the LED driver rather than from an earth conductor, and the fitting must never be connected directly to 240 V.

Questions

Can I install it near the coast?

Not within 2 km of salt water. Havit’s installation sheet excludes aluminium fittings at that distance, so it is a condition rather than general advice. Closer to the water, the 316 stainless or solid brass twin-head Tivah is the fitting to specify instead.

Does it draw 5 W or 10 W?

10 W. Each of the two heads takes its own 5 W MR16 globe, and Havit records the lamp wattage for this model as 2 x 5 w. Size drivers on 10 W per fitting a run of six is 60 W, and undersizing on the single-head figure is the usual planning mistake with twin heads.

How much light does it give in total?

Per head, 270 lm at 3000K, 285 lm at 4000K and 300 lm at 5500K so 540, 570 or 600 lm across both heads. Havit prints it as 2 x 270 lm and so on, which reflects how it is used, since the two heads are normally aimed at different things.

Can the heads point in different directions?

Yes each has its own 90 tilt and 270 swivel, so they can face genuinely unrelated targets rather than only fanning apart. Stop when a head reaches its mechanical limit; forcing it further tangles the internal cable and shorts the fitting, which is excluded from warranty.

Can the two heads run different colour temperatures?

Physically yes, as each tri-colour globe has its own switch, but the beams overlap and the mismatch shows. Set both the same unless you are deliberately lighting two separate surfaces.

Is it dimmable?

No both sheets covering this fitting record it as not dimmable with the globes supplied, so it should not go on a dimmed circuit.

What beam angle do the heads give?

Whatever globes are fitted. Both sockets take replaceable MR16s, so the housing has no beam of its own. The tri-colour MR16s supplied are 120 floods; fit narrower MR16s to turn it into a pair of spots, up to the 20 W ceiling per socket.
