Lindri Aluminium Black Bollard Light with Spike

This is the brightest fitting on the platform and the top of the Lindri ladder. Its 7 W built-in LED gives 430 lm at 3000K, 470 lm at 4000K and 450 lm at 5500K — around five times the 3 W Lindri and roughly double the 5 W — from a wider 150 mm head. It is the fitting to use where a shielded, low-glare bollard still has to light something properly: a wide driveway edge, a run of steps, the approach to a garage.

Black only, and that simplifies the decision

Unlike the 3 W and 5 W Lindri, this model is offered in a single finish — aluminium with a poly powder-coated black finish. There is no brass option to weigh up and no price fork; you are choosing an output, not a material. The head keeps the range's shielded construction, so despite putting out more than four times the light of the smallest Lindri it holds the same UGR <19 glare rating and the same downward beam. That is the argument for paying more than a plain bollard costs: you are buying light on the ground rather than light in your eyes.

⚠ 24 V DC, and the colour is wired in at installation

The 7 W Lindri runs on 24 V DC and requires a suitable 24 V DC LED driver. A large part of the Havit garden range around it is 12 V DC, and the two cannot share a driver or a cable run — this is the single most common ordering error on the range. Do not connect the fitting directly to 240 V. Colour temperature is selected by connecting the labelled 3000K or 5500K neutral, or joining both to produce 4000K, after which the joint is soldered and sealed in heat shrink. It is a permanent choice made at installation rather than a setting you can revisit.

Two warranty conditions, and what you get

• No more than 25 m from the LED driver, with the supply within ±5%. Havit states that outside this allowance the warranty is void — and at 7 W the volt drop over a long run is larger than on the small fittings, so this one deserves the calculation rather than the estimate.
• Every connection watertight and none submerged, wired in parallel with glue-lined heat shrink or gel caps.
• Built-in LED, sealed and not replaceable, rated over 30,000 hours, with CRI above 80 and SDCM under 6 so a run of them holds one colour. Not dimmable.
• IP65, IK08, 600 mm tall on a 210 mm spike, 1000 mm tail, and a 3 Years Replacement warranty.
