Lille Aluminium Black Single Adjustable Spike Spotlight

Lille is not really a spike light. It is a spotlight on a 1500 mm post that happens to be spiked into the ground, and that changes what it is for. A ground-level spike aims up; Lille sits at roughly waist-to-chest height and aims down or across. That puts it in a different job entirely — washing a path from above, lighting a driveway edge without dazzling anyone, picking out low planting from a height where the beam lands rather than skims. The head positions anywhere along the post, so the working height is yours to set.

The glare number is the reason to choose it

Its UGR figure is under 12, which is an exceptionally low glare result — most adjustable exterior spotlights sit two or three times that. On a fitting deliberately mounted near eye level, that is not a specification-sheet detail, it is the whole difference between a lit path and a row of things you squint at. Havit also sells three snap-in accessories for it — a honeycomb lens for further anti-glare control, a linear lens to stretch the beam along a path, and a hooded cover to shield it from a viewing direction — all of which fit by twisting the cover off and dropping the lens in.

12 V or 24 V — and only one of them dims

Lille accepts 12 V DC or 24 V DC; both sheets say so and the installation steps call for a 12 V DC or 24 V DC LED driver to match. That flexibility comes with one condition worth knowing before you buy the driver: it is Triac dimmable only when run on 12 V DC. Run it at 24 V and you keep the longer cable runs that higher voltage allows, and you lose dimming. Decide which matters more first. In either case, do not connect the fitting directly to 240 V, keep it no more than 25 m from its driver and hold the supply within ±5% — both are stated warranty conditions rather than advice.

Specifying it

• 2.5 W built-in LED, tri-colour selectable — 130 lm at 3000K, 150 lm at 4000K and 140 lm at 5500K. 4000K is the brightest; output does not climb with colour temperature.
• 40° beam, which is a controlled wash rather than a spot — and changeable with the optional lenses.
• IP65, IK08, clear glass diffuser, protection class 3, CRI above 80.
• 2500 mm cable already fitted — generous, and it needs to be on a post this tall.
• Aluminium head on a plastic post. Havit's guidance keeps aluminium fittings 5 km clear of salt water, so this is not a beachfront specification.

Poly powder-coated black, lamp life rated under 30,000 hours, and a 3-year replacement warranty. Licensed electrician for the wiring.

Ask Lights For You about the honeycomb and linear lenses before you order — on a fitting at this height they change the result more than any other choice you will make.
