Marina Outdoor LED Wall Light in Black, Brass or White Havit Lighting - HV3511W

The Marina is a cylindrical exterior wall light, 215 mm high and ø112 mm, built in polycarbonate with a clear plastic diffuser and an E27 socket. Polycarbonate is the reason it exists as an alternative to metal: it does not corrode, which makes it a sensible choice on a coastal or high-humidity site where a painted metal body will eventually show it. The 180° beam gives a broad wash rather than a beam, and because it takes a standard E27 globe you can choose and change the light source yourself. At IP54 it needs a sheltered mounting position.

The choice to make

Three finishes: HV3511W-WHT in white, HV3511W-BLK in black and HV3511W-PB in brass. All three share the same body and optics. Fitted with a nominal 8 W, 700 lm, 2700 K warm-white globe, the Marina gives the soft even glow the diffuser is designed for. The brass finish suits a warmer palette of brick and timber; black and white read as the more contemporary choices.

Where it works

• Front entries under an eave, in a pair either side of the door.
• Covered verandahs and porches on rendered or weatherboard homes.
• Coastal and high-humidity sites where a polycarbonate body avoids corrosion issues.
• Carport and garage walls sheltered by the roof overhang.

Specifying it

The Marina is 240 V and wires straight to mains — no driver or transformer. At 240 V it is Class 2, so no earth connection is required, which simplifies the install. The globe is an E27 large screw base and it is replaceable; a B22 bayonet, E14 or GU10 globe will not fit. The maximum the socket accepts is 8 W, kept low because the clear diffuser encloses the lamp and heat cannot escape. It is Triac dimmable with a dimmable globe and a Triac-compatible dimmer. Impact rating is IK04 and rated life under 30,000 hours. IP54 means splashing protection, so mount it in a sheltered spot rather than on a facade taking driving rain.

Supplied and supported by Lights For You; the Marina's polycarbonate body is its advantage on a humid or coastal site, and its E27 socket accepts a maximum of 8 W — order the globe alongside it so the correct wattage arrives with the fitting.
