Akril Wall Light

This is the larger single Akril: a Ø50 mm acrylic head on a poly powder-coated aluminium body, running straight off 240 V. The bigger head is not just a cosmetic step up — it carries a 5 W LED against the Ø40 mm model's 3 W, and produces close to twice the light, which is what you want when the wall is tall, dark, or a long way from the fitting.

Output

It gives 315–370 lm over a 260° spread. At that level it stops being purely decorative: a pair either side of a front door will genuinely light the threshold, and a run along a driveway wall gives usable ground light as well as the graze up the face. On a low garden wall it will be more than most people want, and the Ø40 mm model is the better proportion there.

Colour temperature, and which is brightest

Switch-selected at installation between 3000K, 4000K and 5500K. 5500K is the brightest at 370 lm, 4000K gives 365 lm and 3000K gives 315 lm. The gap between the two cooler settings is negligible and the step down to warm white costs about 15%, so the real choice is between 3000K for a warmer look at the front of a house and 4000K for output with a neutral cast. SDCM <5 keeps a run consistent, provided every fitting is set the same way.

Which way up

The fitting throws in one direction only, so the mounting decides whether it grazes upward or washes downward — there is no adjustment afterwards. Downward is the usual choice beside a door, where the light lands on the threshold and nobody looks into the head; upward suits a textured or rendered wall you want to show off. Decide before the base plate is fixed, because rotating it later means re-drilling.

Supply and earthing

Because it is the mains version, there is no driver to place and no low-voltage cable run to size. It is Protection Class 1, so an earth is required at the fitting — the extra-low-voltage Akril is Class 3 and needs none, and the two versions cannot be mixed on one circuit. Worth confirming which is already in place before extending an existing installation.

Rating and limits

Rated IP65 against dust and water jets, IK04 for impact, CRI >80, UGR <35, lamp expectancy >30,000 hrs. Havit specifies it as not dimmable, so switch it rather than wiring it to a dimmer. Overall size is 183 × 80 × 80 mm and it is offered in black or white at one price, with a 3 years replacement warranty. Lights For You keeps both head sizes and both supply versions of the Akril, which makes it straightforward to match an existing run rather than guess at it.
