Quick Q&A - click to expand

Is Havit Lighting good quality compared to commercial-tier brands? +

Yes - Havit sits in the upper tier of the Australian domestic and light-commercial market. CRI Ra80+ across the range, IP-rated options on every category, published dimming compatibility, and 3-year limited replacement warranty (subject to Havit's terms, handled locally). It doesn't replace specification-grade commercial brands on large architectural jobs, but for the bulk of residential and small commercial fit-outs it's a strong default.

Are Havit downlights dimmable? +

Most are - but check the model. Havit publishes a dimmer compatibility chart per fitting; match the driver to your wall dimmer (TRIAC / 0-10V / DALI). The most common nuisance call is a dim that flickers because the driver and dimmer don't match - pick from the published compatible pairs and you avoid that.

What's the difference between tri-colour and fixed-temperature downlights? +

Tri-colour fittings have a DIP switch on the back that lets you select 3000K, 4000K or 5000K at install - one SKU for the whole house. Fixed-temperature fittings come in one colour only. Tri-colour is the default now for most domestic fit-outs; fixed-temperature is preferred where colour rendering matters most (high-end retail, commercial galleries).

Can I get Havit products you don't have on the shelf? +

Yes - full Havit catalogue is available to special order. Send us the SKU or model code and we'll quote with a realistic ETA. See our [special orders page](/pages/special-orders) for the process.

Does Havit support DALI and 0-10V dimming for commercial jobs? +

Yes - Havit publishes drivers for both DALI and 0-10V across the relevant ranges. For a commercial spec, ask us for the matching driver and we'll cross-check the control system before quoting.

Why specify Havit

Three things that matter on the install:

  • CRI Ra80+ as standard, Ra90+ on premium ranges. Colour accuracy on every product - no washed-out cheap-LED look.
  • Dimming compatibility published per fitting. Havit publishes a dimmer compatibility matrix - pick the matching driver and you don't burn a callback on a dim that flickers.
  • IP-rated for the install. Bathroom, outdoor, coastal - IP44 / IP54 / IP65 / IP66 options across the range. No guessing.
  • Australian warranty — 3-year limited replacement warranty (subject to Havit's terms — domestic use, licensed electrician install, proof of purchase). Reduced warranty applies for commercial-use installs per Havit's terms.

Tri-colour and CCT-switchable

Most current-generation Havit downlights are tri-colour - a DIP switch on the back lets you set 3000K (warm), 4000K (neutral), or 5000K (cool) at install. One SKU covers the whole fit-out:

  • 3000K for bedrooms, living, hallways
  • 4000K for kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, workspaces
  • 5000K for garages, workshops, retail

For the full background on which temperature to use in which room, see our LED downlight colour temperature guide.

A few of the Havit fittings we move the most volume on:

  • Nella 12W Surface-Mounted LED Downlight (HV5803T-BLK) - black housing, tri-colour, IP44. The default modern downlight.
  • Haviflex 24V DC 17W/m LED Strip - RGBW and dedicated white temperature options, 2700K and 3000K top-bend. Commercial-grade for cove lighting.

For pricing and stock on any specific Havit SKU, call the counter - we hold the most-specified parts and can source the rest within a few days.

Exterior and wet-area considerations

Havit's exterior range carries proper IP and marine-grade ratings. Quick guide:

  • Eaves / soffit / under cover ? IP44 minimum
  • Outdoor wall, exposed to rain ? IP54 minimum
  • In-ground, step lights ? IP65 / IP67
  • Coastal (within ~1km of salt water) ? marine-grade housing, IP66+ recommended

Salt corrosion is the #1 failure mode on exterior lighting near the coast. Specifying marine-grade up front saves a callback in 18 months.

Compliance note

Electrical work in Australia must be carried out by a licensed electrician under AS/NZS 3000. Lighting circuit design, RCD protection, and bathroom-zone IP requirements all fall under the standard. We supply the fittings; install and certification is your call.
