Essil Up & Down LED Wall Light

The Essil is Havit’s slim rectangular up-and-down wall light in poly powder coated aluminium, and the HV3646T is the compact 2 × 3 W version. Two built-in LED emitters throw a wide 120° wash up the wall and down it, so the wall does the work and the fitting stays quiet. It is the shape that ends up beside front doors and up garage piers.

Choose the supply before you choose the colour

Four variants are sold here: black or white, each in 240 V AC or 12 V DC. They are not interchangeable. The 240 V version wires straight to mains and is Class 1, so an earth is required — Havit says to connect the earth first, then live and neutral. The 12 V version runs from a suitable 12 V DC LED driver, which is not supplied, and Havit is emphatic that the fitting must not be connected directly to 240 V. It is Class 3, so no earth is needed. Where several sit on one run, wire them in parallel.

Two emitters, and every lumen figure is per direction

Havit publishes the output as 2 × 180 lm at 3000K, 2 × 187 lm at 4000K and 2 × 195 lm at 5500K — per direction, meaning what one emitter delivers, produced twice. Power reads the same way: 2 × 3 W, or 6 W total. We give the per-emitter figure with the count, because a summed number says nothing about how much light reaches the wall either way.

5500K is the brightest here

Output rises with colour temperature on this fitting: 5500K is the brightest at 195 lm per direction, 4000K sits at 187 lm and 3000K is the dimmest at 180 lm. Fifteen lumens separate the ends, so it is no reason to pick a colour you do not want. We say it explicitly because it is not a rule you can carry between fittings: much of Havit’s outdoor range is brightest in the middle.

You set the colour once, from inside the fitting

It is tri-colour — 3000K, 4000K or 5500K — on a slide switch inside the base, shipped preset to 3000K. Changing it means loosening the allen screws and lifting the body off its base plate — a decision made on the ladder. The beam is a fixed 120° and is not adjustable, and the fitting is not dimmable on either supply.

Sealing it is a warranty condition

Havit’s instructions are specific: seal all holes including the cable entry and around the screws, tighten the allen screws so water cannot penetrate, and apply silicone around the edge of the fitting. All o-rings and seals must be correctly in place to maintain the warranty, and modifying the fitting voids it. It is IP54 behind a glass diffuser with an IK08 impact rating — ratings that assume the install was sealed properly.

Where it can go, and what the drawing leaves out

The Essil is aluminium, and Havit states that aluminium and 304SS fittings must not be installed within 5 km of any salt water environment — for a coastal address, ask us for a marine-grade alternative instead. It mounts on a base plate taking two Ø5 mm fixings around a Ø13 mm cable entry. Havit’s drawing prints the body’s three overall figures without labelling which is which, so we publish no overall dimensions and no wall projection; the dimensioned drawing on this page is the reliable reference. Lights For You keeps the Essil in both finishes and both supplies, and will confirm the right variant for your circuit.
