Matt White Up Down Wall Light Tivah

This is the up/down Tivah in textured white: one fitting, two heads, one washing the wall upward and one down, from a single wiring point. It is the shape most people actually picture when they think of a wall light on a pillar — the symmetrical hourglass of light either side of a front door or a gate post — and it produces it without two fittings and two cable runs.

Read every lumen figure as per head

Havit prints them with a 2 × because each of the two lamps produces the stated output. The fitting throws light in two directions rather than concentrating the sum into one, so comparing it against a single-head fitting on the raw number would flatter the wrong one.

• HV1035T — 240 V GU10 with 9-in-1 switchable globes stepping through 3 W, 5 W and 7 W per head: 2 × 240–560 lm at 3000K, 2 × 255–595 lm at 4000K, 2 × 270–630 lm at 5500K, in a 60° beam. The only Triac-dimmable version.
• HV1037GU10T — 240 V GU10 fixed at 5 W per head: 2 × 270 lm, 2 × 285 lm, 2 × 300 lm, in a wider 120° beam.
• HV1037MR16T — the same output and beam on 12 V DC MR16, requiring its own driver.

Choosing between the beams

On an up/down the beam angle changes the shape of the light more than its brightness. The 60° globes throw two narrow blades that read as a crisp hourglass on a flat wall; the 120° globes spread into two soft fans that overlap on a narrow pillar. On brick or stone the narrow one flatters the texture; on smooth render the wide one avoids a hard edge.

Installing it

Both GU10 versions wire straight to 240 V mains as earthed Class 1 fittings. The MR16 version is low voltage: it needs a 12 V DC LED driver, and because this fitting carries two lamps the load is double a single-head fitting's — size the driver for the total, keep it within 25 m, and hold the supply inside 5% of nominal or the warranty is void. Globes are replaceable to a ceiling of 35 W per lamp on a 240 V GU10 and 20 W per lamp on a 12 V MR16 — two globes at that figure, not one of twice it. It is IP65, so exposure is fine. One restriction to check first: the body is powder-coated aluminium and Havit excludes sites within 5 km of salt water. All three carry a 3-year replacement warranty, and Lights For You can size a driver for an MR16 run if you tell us how many fittings share it.
