Prisma Black Round Bollard - 670mm

The Prisma 670 is a 670 mm surface-mounted bollard that takes a replaceable E27 globe, in powder-coated black aluminium behind a UV-stabilised Perspex diffuser. That lamp holder is what separates it from most bollards in this range: nothing here is sealed in for life, and the light you get is the globe you choose.

240 V mains — and Havit is emphatic about it

It runs on 240 V AC mains. It is Protection Class 1 and requires an earth, and Havit's installation sheet opens with a warning rather than a specification: this is a 240 V mains-voltage fitting, and in Australia and New Zealand fixed mains wiring must be carried out by a licensed electrician. There is no transformer and no driver anywhere in this product. ⚠ If you have seen a low-voltage figure quoted against this model, disregard it: the input is 240 V AC, which is what the ordering table, the protection class, the installation warning and Havit's own product page all state.

The globe decides the light — including its colour

It ships with an 8 W E27 LED filament globe at 2700K, giving 700 lm over a 120° spread. Those three figures belong to that globe, not to the fitting, so a replacement sets its own output and its own beam. This is not a tri-colour fitting — there is no switch and no colour-temperature setting. If you want cooler light you change the lamp, and Havit sells the alternatives for exactly this: HV9569W at 2700K, HV9569N at 4000K and HV9569C at 5500K, all E27 filament globes. The ceiling matters when you go shopping: the socket accepts up to 40 W, so there is real headroom above the 8 W supplied, and the fitting is Triac dimmable — stated on both of Havit's documents for this model, which is unusual in this range and only possible because it is a mains lamp holder.

Ratings, and one limit IP65 does not cover

The body is IP65 and IK08. Colour quality is CRI >80 with SDCM <6, glare is UGR <39, and lamp expectancy is >30,000hrs. ⚠ Havit adds a restriction worth reading before you site it: avoid direct high-pressure water exposure from pressure washers or irrigation systems. IP65 is a jet rating, not a pressure-wash rating, and an irrigation head pointed straight at a bollard is the usual way that gets breached.

Installation and siting

It is surface mounted: the base plate must be fixed to concrete or a concrete pad and the fitting must not be installed under ground level. All seals, gaskets and cable entries have to be correctly installed to maintain the IP rating. On siting, Havit's wording is that aluminium fittings should not be installed within 5 km of saltwater environments, and this fitting is aluminium. Lights For You publishes these figures for HV1641W-BLK from the HV1641W/HV1642W data sheet, the HV1641W/HV1642W installation instructions and Havit's own page for this model, which states a 3 Years Replacement Warranty.
