Fedor Round Aluminium Black Tri Colour

The Fedor Round at 925 mm is the tall version of the same fitting: poly powder-coated black aluminium, a sealed 12 W tri-colour built-in LED and a clear Perspex diffuser. Havit calls it a 1 directional bollard, throwing a 60° spread through a single aperture rather than a glow all round. At close to a metre it clears low planting and puts the light source above ankle height, which is the usual reason to pick it over the 525 mm one.

The taller body does not buy you more light

This is the thing most people assume and it is not true here. Havit gives the 925 mm round exactly the same figures as the 525 mm round — 610 lm at 3000K, 620 lm at 4000K, 615 lm at 5500K — because it is the same 12 W engine on a longer post. What does change the output is the body shape: the square Fedor is brighter at the same wattage. So choose the height for reach and proportion, and the shape for brightness.

Two supplies on one listing

HV1631T-BLK-240V-RND is 240 V AC mains and Protection Class 1, wired with an earth, and Havit's instructions connect the earth first. HV1631T-BLK-24V-RND is 24 V DC and Protection Class 3 — no earth required — running from a suitable 24 V DC LED driver, with the supply at the fitting held within ±5% of the voltage required or the warranty is void. Both are an electrician's job to AS/NZS 3000, and multiple bollards on one circuit are wired in parallel.

Colour temperature, and the quality figures behind it

It ships set to 3000K. Loosen the allen screws on the side, lift the top off and move the switch on the underside of the top to 3000K, 4000K or 5500K, then refit the top with its seals properly seated. 4000K is the brightest of the three, so output does not climb with colour temperature. Colour rendering is CRI >80 with SDCM <5 and UGR <12, lamp expectancy is >30,000hrs, and the fitting is not dimmable.

Weather, impact and one siting rule

Sealing is IP65 and impact resistance is IK08 on the IK01–IK10 scale, which is worth having on a post this tall in an open garden. Havit states that aluminium and 304SS fittings must not be installed within 5 km of any salt water environments, and this is an aluminium fitting, so that is a warranty condition on where it can go.

Mounting, sealing and fixings

It is surface mounted: the base plate goes on concrete or a concrete pad and the fitting must not be installed under ground level. Silicone every hole including the cable entry, and around the fitting at ground level. Keep all o-rings and seals in place, and fix the cable entry if your cable is not circular. The screws supplied are mild steel and should be replaced with a higher grade wherever water can reach them — worth doing on a taller bollard that catches more wind load. Havit lists HV162X-CI anchor bolts as the accessory for these bollards. Every figure on this page for the 925 mm round Fedor was taken by Lights For You from the Fedor Round data sheet, the shared installation instructions and Havit's page for this model, which states a 3 Years Replacement Warranty.
