A suggestion, not a specification. A calculator can get it wrong — have a licensed electrician confirm the driver, the total load and the wiring before you order.

Product Description
xPreston coping light in black — 2.5W
A small recessed coping light, 102mm by 82mm and only 16mm deep, in a black finish. A coping light sets into the top course of a wall — the coping — and washes light down the face below it, so the wall is lit without any visible fitting on it.
Black is the finish that disappears into a dark capping, bluestone or charcoal render, so by day the wall edge reads as uninterrupted and at night only the light on the face below is seen.
That is a specific job and it is worth being clear about. This is not a path light or a step light. It is the fitting used along a pool surround, a retaining wall, a planter edge or a boundary capping, where the effect wanted is a lit wall face and a dark, uninterrupted top edge.
Output and beam
The fitting draws 2.5W and is tri-colour, with 3000K, 4000K or 5500K selected at installation rather than fixed at manufacture, rated at 140lm, 150lm and 145lm respectively. Colour rendering is above 80 CRI.
The beam is 100°, a wide spread that suits washing a wall face from close range. At 140lm to 150lm the output is deliberately modest — a coping light is read as a soft graze down the wall, and anything much brighter at that mounting height becomes a row of hot spots instead.
Built for a wet, walked-on edge
It is rated IP65 for dust and jetted water and IK10 for impact — the highest impact classification in Havit's range. Both matter here more than on most fittings: a coping light sits on the top of a wall where people sit, lean, put drinks down and drag furniture past, and where a hose or pool water reaches it regularly.
At 16mm deep it needs very little depth in the coping itself, which is what makes it retrofittable into a capping that is already laid.
Power and installation
The Preston runs on 12V DC, so a 12V driver is required on the circuit and is not part of this listing. Low voltage is the appropriate choice for a fitting set into a wet, hand-height edge.
Havit lists the fitting as dimmable. Set out the whole run before cutting anything — a recessed fitting cannot be moved afterwards, and on a coping the spacing is read along a straight line where any irregularity shows. Installation is work for a licensed electrician.
Frequently asked questions
What is a coping light for?
It sets into the top course of a wall and washes light down the face below, so the wall is lit with no fitting visible on it.
How deep does it need to be?
16mm, on a 102mm by 82mm footprint — shallow enough to retrofit into capping that is already laid.
Does it need a driver?
Yes. It runs on 12V DC and the driver is not supplied.
How tough is it?
IP65 for dust and jetted water, and IK10 for impact — the highest impact rating in the range.
Can it be dimmed?
Havit lists it as dimmable. Confirm the arrangement with your electrician, since the driver forms part of the dimming path on a 12V circuit.
