Outdoor LED Wall / Inground Light CCT 2.5w in 4 Colours Havit Commercial - HCP-27X107

Outdoor LED Wall / Inground Light CCT 2.5w in 4 Colours

A step light does one job and does it quietly: it puts light on the tread so the edge of a step is readable in the dark, without lighting the person using it.

That distinction is the whole design problem. A bright fitting at shin height is glare, and glare in a stairwell is actively dangerous - the eye adjusts to the source and loses the step. A good step light is one you notice only as a lit tread.

Spacing matters more than brightness. Even, low-level light on every tread reads as safe; one bright fitting with dark steps either side reads as a hazard, because the contrast destroys what little night vision the eye has.

Light output and colour

The colour temperature is 3000K, 4000K, 5500K.

Colour rendering is >90 CRI, which describes how faithfully colours appear under the light. It matters most where the light falls on planting, timber, brick or stone, all of which look flat under a poor-rendering source.

The beam spread is 120°.

Where it can be installed

At IP67 this fitting is rated for full outdoor exposure - rain, hosing and weather.

⚠ A weather rating is not a corrosion rating, and the two are confused constantly. The IP number describes water and dust ingress; what survives a coastal site is the material and the finish, and that is the thing to check within a few kilometres of the sea.

It carries an IK10 impact rating, which is what matters where a fitting can be stepped on, driven over or knocked.

It is made from 316 stainless steel or solid brass.

Powering and installing it

This is a 24V fitting, so it runs from a driver rather than directly from mains. Size the driver to the total load of every fitting on the run, with room to spare - a driver working at its limit runs hot, and heat is what shortens its life.

Low voltage is the usual choice in a garden because the cable is safer to run and easier to extend later. The trade is voltage drop: a long run gets dimmer towards its far end, and the answer is a shorter cable path or a heavier cable rather than a bigger driver.

Plan the cable route before anything is fixed. It is the part of an installation that cannot be changed afterwards without undoing the rest of it, and it is the reason otherwise finished jobs get left half done.

Before you order

Two checks save most of the problems that show up after an installation is finished. The first is where the fitting will actually be seen from: a light chosen for how it looks in a product photograph is being judged from a viewpoint nobody will ever stand in, and the same fitting can be discreet from the house and glaring from the street.

The second is what else is going in around it. A single fitting is rarely the whole scheme, and matching colour temperature and finish across everything in a space matters more to the result than the specification of any one item in it. Mixed colour temperatures in particular read as a fault rather than as a choice.

If you are unsure whether this suits what you are lighting, our team at Lights For You will talk it through against the actual space rather than the specification sheet.

Specifying and pricing this

This is part of the Havit Commercial range, which is priced on application rather than listed. Use the enquiry button on this page and we will come back with pricing for the quantity you need.

Commercial fittings are usually specified in quantity against a lighting plan, where the count, the colour temperature and the control method all have to agree across the job. We can check a schedule against what is actually available before it is issued.

⚠ Confirm availability before a specification is issued. Commercial ranges change, and a product written into a drawing that is no longer stocked is a change order later, when it is far more expensive to fix.
