Liueg Aluminium Black Bollard Light with Spike

This is the largest Liueg: a 590 mm spike-mounted garden bollard in poly powder-coated black aluminium with a sealed built-in LED behind a Perspex diffuser. Same height as the middle size and a wider head, and it is the one that will actually light a path rather than mark it.

Low voltage, and it needs a driver

It runs on 24 V DC from a suitable 24 V DC LED driver. Do not connect it directly to 240 V. Havit rates it Protection Class 3 — low voltage, no earth required — which is why a run of these is a reasonable garden project: only extra-low-voltage cable goes into the ground. 1000 mm of cable comes attached.

Output, and which setting is the brightest

The tri-colour LED gives 3000K, 4000K and 5500K, and Havit pairs those with 570 lm, 620 lm and 605 lm. ⚠ 4000K is the brightest of the three — output peaks in the middle of the range rather than at the cool end. The beam is 120°, colour rendering is CRI >80, and lamp expectancy is >30,000hrs. ⚠ Because a 7 W fitting at this height throws real light at eye level from a low seat, think about spacing and about where people will be looking from before you set the run out.

Weather and knocks: IP65 and IK08

The body is IP65 for rain and hose spray, and IK08 is a useful impact class for a fitting living among garden traffic. It is not dimmable, so it wants a switched circuit rather than a dimmer — worth deciding early if you are lighting an entertaining area.

Mounting, and what Havit does and does not publish

It is supplied for ground spike mounting. To fix it to a hard surface instead, this model's data sheet lists the HV151-BLK-BASE surface mounting base, which we stock and whose own description covers this fitting. ⚠ Before planning a long run, note that Havit publishes no installation sheet for this model — a data sheet only. The neighbouring 24 V spike range does have one, carrying warranty conditions on driver distance and on how connections must be sealed, and those conditions are not stated for this fitting. Ask us rather than assuming they apply. Lights For You took every figure here from Havit's own data sheet for HV1523T and from its product page for this part number, which states a 3 Years Replacement warranty.
