Virsma LED Step Light Round Tri-Colour

Virsma is a round tri-colour step light in powder-coated aluminium, and this listing carries the whole range: 240 V or 12 V, in white or black. The light is identical either way — 110 lm at 3000K, 115 lm at 4000K and 120 lm at 5500K from 4 W — so the choice is not about brightness at all. It is about how the circuit is wired, and it has to be settled before you order.

The choice to make: 240 V or 12 V

• 240 V variants (HV3277T-WHT-240V, HV3277T-BLK-240V) wire straight to mains — no driver, no transformer. This is the simpler specification for one or two fittings, or where the wall already has a mains point.
• 12 V variants (HV3277T-WHT-12V, HV3277T-BLK-12V) require a 12 V DC LED driver and must never be connected directly to 240 V. Choose these when several fittings will share one transformer, or where a low-voltage garden circuit already exists.

Ordering the wrong voltage is the expensive mistake here, because the two are not interchangeable on site.

Where it works

• Internal stair walls where a mains point is nearby — take the 240 V version and skip the transformer entirely.
• Garden path and terrace steps already on a low-voltage run — take the 12 V version and add it to the existing driver's load.
• Covered entries and porches, where IP54 is appropriate and the round face suits arched or curved detailing.
• Apartment corridors and hotel access ways, mounted low as continuous wayfinding.

Specifying it

Rated IP54 — splash-resistant and suited to sheltered positions such as under an eave or in a recessed entry, rather than a wall taking direct driving rain. On the 12 V variants, keep each fitting within 25 m of its driver; outside that the warranty does not apply. The LED is built in on every variant — no globe is needed or possible. Not dimmable. Installation by a licensed electrician.

Backed by a 3-year replacement warranty.

Supplied and supported by Lights For You; because Virsma comes in both voltages at the same price, tell us how the wall is fed and we will confirm which of the four part numbers to order.

Coastal siting — Havit’s condition

Havit’s installation instructions for this fitting state that aluminium and 304 stainless steel fittings must not be installed within 5 km of any salt water environment. That is a condition on where the fitting may go, and it sits beside the IP rating rather than inside it: a fitting can be rated for direct rain and still fall outside this rule, because the issue is salt carried in the air rather than water landing on the surface. If your site is inside that zone, talk to us before you specify it — Lights For You can point you at a fitting whose material Havit does not name here.

Earthing and protection class

This listing sells more than one supply, and the earthing requirement is not the same on both. Check which part number you are wiring before you start.

• HV3277T-WHT-240V, HV3277T-BLK-240V run on 240 V AC mains and are Protection Class 1 — an earth is required at the fitting. Havit's installation sheet has the installer connect the earth conductor first, then live and neutral.
• HV3277T-WHT-12V, HV3277T-BLK-12V run on 12 V DC and are Protection Class 3 — no earth is required at the fitting. The isolation comes from the LED driver rather than from an earth conductor, and these part numbers must never be connected directly to 240 V.
