Cadrado Black Aluminium Bollard - 600mm

The Cadrado is a 600 mm surface-mounted bollard with a sealed built-in LED, in poly powder-coated black aluminium behind a glass diffuser. There is no lamp holder and no globe to buy: the 10 W tri-colour engine is part of the fitting, and the only thing you choose after installation is the colour temperature.

240 V AC mains, earthed, and wired by an electrician

It runs on 240 V AC mains. It is Protection Class 1 and requires an earth, and Havit's installation sheet opens by requiring a qualified electrician working to AS/NZS 3000. There is no transformer and no driver in this product, and where several run from one circuit they are wired in parallel.

The colour switch is under the head, and it slides

It leaves the factory set to 3000K. To change it you remove the cover from a sliding switch on the underside of the head, choose 3000K, 4000K or 5500K, and refit the cover carefully so water cannot get in. That is a one-time decision made with the fitting in your hands, not a setting you can reach later without opening it again.

Output does not climb with colour temperature

Havit pairs the figures as 700 lm at 3000K, 750 lm at 4000K and 725 lm at 5500K. 4000K is the brightest of the three — the numbers do not rise as the light gets cooler, so do not read the list as a ladder. The spread is 120°, colour rendering is CRI >80, and lamp expectancy is >30,000hrs.

It is dimmable, which most of this range is not

Both of Havit's documents record it as Triac dimmable, and its own data sheet names the HV9625 Triac Dimmer as the compatible accessory. That is unusual here — most bollards in this range are switched only — so it is worth designing the circuit around before the trenching goes in.

IP65 and IK08, and one restriction on where it can go

The body is IP65 and IK08, a genuinely useful impact class on the IK01–IK10 scale, which matters on something at shin height beside a mower. ⛔ Havit states that aluminium and 304SS fittings must not be installed within 5 km of any salt water environments. This bollard is aluminium, so that applies to it directly and it is a warranty condition, not a suggestion.

Installation, and the siliconing that carries the warranty

It is surface mounted: the base plate fixes to concrete or a concrete pad, and the fitting must not be installed under ground level. ⛔ Havit asks for silicone twice — all holes including the cable entry must be filled, and silicone must also be applied around the fitting at ground level — and failure to do either voids the warranty. All o-rings and seals must be in place, and if your cable is not circular you must fix the cable entry to maintain the IP rating. Lights For You has taken every figure on this page for HV1636T-BLK-240V from the HV1636T-BLK data sheet, the HV1636T installation instructions and Havit's own page for this model, which states a 3 Years Replacement Warranty.
