Drique Aluminium Black Bollard Light with Spike

The Drique RGBCW is a 1 W garden marker on a 210 mm spike that does colour as well as white — a slim Ø16 mm aluminium tube, poly powder-coated black, 600 mm overall. This listing is the single fitting, and Havit's own description of this part number is “to be added to 5 light kit”.

⚠ It needs two things that are not in the box

Havit is explicit that this fitting must be used with a suitable 24 V DC LED driver and with a suitable RGBCW controller. Neither is supplied with this part number. Both ship with the five-light kit, HV1514RGBCW-BLK-KIT, and Havit's installation sheet says you can add up to five more fittings to that kit's driver and controller using this exact part. Bought alone it is an extension to a kit, or a fitting for a 24 V DC RGBCW system you already run. Never connect it directly to 240 V, and note that it is 24 V DC, not the 12 V DC used by much of the Havit garden range — the two cannot share a supply.

RGBCW: colour and two whites

Havit specifies the engine as RGBCW — red, green and blue plus 3000K and 5500K white. That is the reason to choose it over the tri-colour Drique: you get a warm and a cool white for everyday use and full colour when you want it, from one 1 W fitting. Everything — colour, white, dimming and the effect modes — is selected at the controller, through the app or the IR remote; there is nothing to set on the fitting.

Output, and how small 1 W really is

Output is 30–35 lm from a 1 W built-in LED, sealed and not replaceable. This is a marker rather than a path light: it draws the line of a bed or a step edge instead of lighting the ground. Beam angle is 120°, colour rendering CRI >80, colour consistency SDCM <6, glare UGR <29, and lamp expectancy >30,000hrs*. It is supplied with a short and a long Perspex lens, which change the spread rather than the brightness, and the tail is a 2000 mm cable. Multiple fittings are wired in parallel.

⚠ Four Havit conditions that void the warranty

Havit's installation instructions for this model are unusually specific, and every one of these is a warranty condition rather than advice. Every electrical connection must be watertight, and no connection may be submerged. The voltage at the fitting must stay within ±5% of the rated supply and the fitting cannot be installed more than 25 m from its LED driver — on a long low-voltage run of small fittings that is usually the constraint that bites first. All o-rings and seals must be correctly in place. And do not force the head past its stop when aiming it: Havit warns that continuing to rotate tangles the internal cable and shorts the fitting, and voids the warranty.

Siting: IP65, IK08, and 5 km back from salt water

The body is IP65 and IK08, installed ground — spike, and the fitting is Protection Class 3, low voltage, no earth required. ⚠ It is aluminium, and Havit states that aluminium and 304 stainless fittings must not be installed within 5 km of any salt water environments — so this is not a coastal fitting whatever its weather rating says. Installation is fixed wiring: Havit requires a licensed electrician working to AS/NZS 3000, with the circuit isolated first. Havit lists the HV1514RGBCW-EXT 1500 mm extension cable for stretching the distance between two fittings, and we stock it. Warranty is 3 Years Replacement*.
