HV1842T - Split 316 Stainless Steel TRI Colour 5w LED Inground Light - 240V AC

The Split is a 5 W recessed inground uplighter in 316 stainless steel, and this listing sells the mains part, HV1842T-240V. It drops into a canister below ground level and finishes flush with the surface behind a clear tempered-glass face with an anti-glare honeycomb louvre. It is trafficable to 1000 kg, so it will take a car in a driveway or a path.

240 V AC, and this one must be earthed

This part takes a 240 V AC mains supply directly. There is no transformer and no low-voltage stage anywhere in it. ⛔ It is Protection Class I and it requires an earth: Havit's installation step for this exact part number reads use wire with earth, connect the earth first, then live and neutral. ⚠ Havit's data sheet covers this model and its low-voltage siblings in one undivided block and prints no earth required across all of them — the per-model table in the installation sheet and the wiring step for this part number both say otherwise, and this page follows those. Wiring is parallel, and the job is one for a qualified electrician working to AS/NZS 3000 with the circuit isolated first.

Tri-colour, switched on the underside — set it before it goes in the ground

The built-in LED is tri-colour: 3000K, 4000K and 5500K, giving 400 lm, 430 lm and 450 lm respectively, through a 60° beam at CRI >80. ⚠ The selector is a switch on the bottom of the fitting, inside a sealed brass cover, so on a recessed light you choose the colour temperature before you drop it into the canister — changing it afterwards means lifting the fitting out and re-sealing the cover. There is no globe and no socket, so nothing is ever replaced, and lamp expectancy is >30,000hrs.

IP67, IK10, and the conditions that carry the warranty

It is IP67 and IK10 behind a clear glass diffuser, with a 300 mm tail. ⛔ Adequate drainage under the canister is a warranty condition rather than a recommendation — Havit asks for 100–150 mm of crushed rock and a slight fall on the surrounding ground so water runs away, and states that if no drainage is allowed the warranty is void. The anti-syphon plug and the male and female connector supplied on the cable must both remain on it for the warranty to be valid. All o-rings and seals must be seated, every joint soldered and sealed watertight, and silicone run around the edge of the fitting once it is in. ⚠ 316 stainless still needs regular cleaning to stop tea staining forming, and tea staining is not covered by the warranty — Havit's HV9971 maintenance kit is made for it. A security face with screws is available separately as HV1842-F-SH. Every figure on this page for HV1842T-240V was taken by Lights For You from the HV1842 data sheet (AUG24), the current HV1842T / HV1842RGBW installation instructions and Havit's own listing for this model, which states a 3 Years Replacement Warranty.
