HV10591T - Luz Solid Brass TRI Colour Single Up & Down Wall Pillar Lights

The HV10591T is the Luz up-and-down wall pillar light in solid brass — the two-lamp body, one GU10 firing up and one down. It is the same fitting as the black and white Luz in every dimension and every electrical figure, and a completely different proposition in one respect: the material.

Why the brass version exists

Havit’s installation instructions for this range carry a siting clause, and its wording matters: aluminium and 304SS fittings must not be installed within 5 km of any salt water environment. That clause names aluminium and 304 stainless. It does not name solid brass, which is very often the whole reason the brass version gets specified for a coastal address. We state that scope rather than a distance for this fitting, because no Havit document publishes a salt-water distance for solid brass — and inventing one, in either direction, would be worse than saying so.

What Havit does publish about brass is different in kind. Solid brass tarnishes naturally outdoors, and that is expected behaviour rather than a fault; if you want it to stay bright it needs polishing, and if you want the aged look it will get there on its own. Havit also asks that gloves be worn during installation, so skin oils are not transferred to the metal and fixed in place as fingerprints under the first patina.

Light output, per lamp

Two 9-in-1 tri-colour GU10 globes are supplied. The figures are per lamp: 240–560 lm at 3000K, 255–595 lm at 4000K, 270–630 lm at 5500K, spanning the globe’s 3 W to 7 W settings, and output rises as the colour temperature climbs — 5500K at 7 W is the brightest. Beam is 60°, from the globe rather than the housing. Colour and wattage are switched on the side of each globe and Havit presets both to 3000K at 7 W. Warm 3000K is the setting most people choose against brass, since it flatters the metal.

Install, sealing and the electrical basics

Fix the backing plate, then seal every hole in it including the cable entry and screw holes — Havit states that failing to do so voids the warranty, as do a missing o-ring or seal and any modification of the fitting. It is IP65 and IK10 behind clear glass, 240 V AC mains with no driver or transformer, and Class 1, so an earth is required. The GU10 holders are replaceable to 35 W each. Height is 300 mm, with a Ø60 mm aperture at each end and four Ø4 mm fixings around a Ø13 mm cable entry; Havit’s drawing does not label its width or projection figures, so we publish neither.

It is Triac dimmable using Havit’s HV9625 300 W dial dimmer. Lights For You sells the Luz in all three finishes and can tell you honestly how the brass ages in your particular location — ask before you order.
