HV3005T-BLK-12V | HV3005T-BLK-240V - Bata Black 6w LED Brick Light

The 6 W Bata is the middle of Havit's brick-light range and, for most walls, the one that is actually right. It is a plain-face fitting — flat stainless cover, clean rectangular aperture — recessed so nothing protrudes into a walkway. In powder-coated black it reads as a shadow line against dark brick by day, and by night the fitting disappears entirely and only the wash on the wall is visible.

The three numbers to cut to

Unlike the 10 W Bata, this model has published apertures, and getting them right is the whole job. Havit gives a cut-out of 159 × 58 mm with the canister, or 155 × 50 mm without it, and an installation depth of 60 mm. Depth is the one people miss: a single skin of brick with a stud cavity behind is fine, but a solid render-on-block wall needs the recess chased out. Cut one aperture, test-fit, then do the rest — in masonry an undersized hole is a grinder job and an oversized one shows.

Two ways in

The 6 W Bata is more flexible than its bigger siblings because it ships with spring clips for gyprock as well as taking a canister. In masonry the canister goes in with its top level with the finished face and the body seats just behind that edge; in a plasterboard wall the clips let the fitting push in and hold itself. That single feature makes this the Bata to use where an outdoor wall turns into a lined soffit or a covered entry.

What it is not

Both this fitting's data sheet and its installation instructions record Dimmable: No. The 6 W Bata cannot be dimmed on either supply voltage — which is worth knowing if you are cross-shopping the 10 W HV3003T, where the 240 V model is Triac dimmable. If the design needs a dimmer, this is not the fitting.

Supply, earthing and the driver limit

Both supply options are on this listing and they are electrically different products. The 240 V code is Protection Class 1 and requires an earth. The 12 V DC code is Class 3, needs no earth, and must be run from a 12 V DC LED driver — the instruction sheet says in capitals not to connect it directly to 240 V. On a 12 V run the fitting cannot be more than 25 m from its driver, with supply within ±5% of rated voltage, or the warranty is void. Wiring is parallel, and the 150 mm tail wants a soldered and heat-shrunk or gel-capped joint to stay watertight.

The rest of the specification

IP54 and IK06 behind frosted tempered glass, with a 120° beam and CRI above 80. The 6 W LED is built in — no globe, no socket — on a replaceable panel, and a slide switch on the front of that panel picks 3000 K, 4000 K or 5500 K at install for 480, 510 and 540 lumens. Havit's sheet asks that aluminium, 304 stainless and powder-coated 316 stainless fittings be kept 5 km from salt water; that applies to this black finish.

Lights For You keeps the black 6 W Bata in both voltages. The grilled equivalent is the HV3006T if you would rather not see the panel head-on.
