Astro Lighting 1338001 Tivola LED 3000K Textured Black Marker Light

Astro Tivola LED 3000K IP65 Recessed Wall Marker Light – 1338001

Guide people safely through exterior paths, steps, entrances and internal circulation areas with the Astro Tivola LED 3000K 1338001. Finished in Textured Black, this compact recessed marker light combines a discreet circular design with warm-white integrated LED illumination.

The Tivola is designed to sit partially within the mounting surface, leaving a compact architectural face visible on the wall. Its controlled 82-lumen output is ideal for low-level orientation, pathway and accent lighting without creating the glare or visual bulk associated with larger outdoor wall lights.

An IP65 rating allows the Tivola to be used in suitable exterior locations and bathroom zones 1, 2 and 3. Its understated black finish works particularly well with contemporary brickwork, rendered walls, dark exterior doors, black window frames and modern landscape designs.

Textured Black Architectural Finish

Product code 1338001 is the Textured Black version of the Astro Tivola LED 3000K.

The finish complements:

• Black window and door frames
• Anthracite exterior fittings
• Contemporary brickwork
• White and grey rendered walls
• Timber cladding
• Dark garden furniture
• Modern entrance doors
• Hotel and apartment corridors
• Minimalist bathroom interiors
• Contemporary landscape designs

The gently textured surface gives the fitting a more architectural appearance than a smooth decorative finish. Its dark colour can blend into black or anthracite surfaces or create a defined contrast against pale render, stone and brick.

Astro’s technical datasheet identifies aluminium as the primary construction material.

Integrated Warm-White LED

The Astro Tivola contains an integrated high-powered LED, so a separate replacement bulb is not required.

Astro’s current product page lists:

• Integrated LED light source
• 82-lumen output
• 3000K colour temperature
• CRI 90 colour rendering
• Three-step MacAdam colour consistency
• Approximate 3.3V forward voltage per fitting

The 82-lumen output is intended for marker, orientation and accent lighting. It should not be treated as a replacement for a high-output security light, floodlight or main room light.

Important Wattage Specification Note

Astro’s live product page currently describes the light source as 1 × 2W LED. The older Issue 4 technical datasheet separately lists 3.8W against the Textured Black 1338001 variant.

For customer-facing product copy, the current live-page lamp specification should be prioritised. The technical PDF remains useful for dimensions, material, cable length, weight and installation information.

Warm 3000K Exterior Lighting

The integrated LED produces 3000K warm-white light.

This colour temperature is well suited to residential and hospitality environments because it creates a welcoming appearance without looking excessively yellow. It is particularly effective around entrances, patios, pathways, hotel grounds and landscaped exterior areas.

The warm-white output complements:

• Natural brick
• Timber
• Stone paving
• Black exterior fittings
• Contemporary render
• Residential garden planting
• Hotel and restaurant terraces
• Warm-coloured bathroom finishes

High CRI 90 Colour Rendering

The Tivola LED has a high CRI 90 colour-rendering rating.

This helps nearby materials, wall finishes, timber, paving and decorative surfaces appear more natural under the light. It provides better colour reproduction than many basic outdoor marker lights with lower CRI ratings.

Astro also specifies three-step MacAdam colour consistency. This is particularly helpful when several Tivola fittings are installed together, as it supports a more uniform colour appearance across the installation.

Discreet 82-Lumen Marker Lighting

The approximately 82-lumen output is designed for subtle low-level illumination.

Suitable uses include:

• Identifying the edge of a pathway
• Marking changes in floor level
• Highlighting exterior steps
• Guiding people towards an entrance
• Providing low-level corridor lighting
• Creating gentle overnight bathroom illumination
• Adding decorative light to an exterior wall
• Illuminating hotel or apartment circulation routes

Because the output is intentionally controlled, several fittings may be installed at regular intervals to create a coordinated lighting layout.

The final effect will depend on mounting height, wall colour, surrounding light levels and spacing between fittings.

IP65 Outdoor Wall Light

The Astro Tivola has an IP65 rating.

IP65 means the fitting is:

• Protected against dust ingress
• Protected against water jets
• Suitable for appropriate exterior wall applications
• More highly protected than standard IP44 or IP20 fittings

The product is not designed for permanent immersion. Correct cable connections, sealing, drainage and installation remain essential for maintaining the IP rating.

Suitable for Bathroom Zones 1, 2 and 3

Astro lists the Tivola as suitable for bathroom zones 1, 2 and 3.

Its IP65 rating and Class III low-voltage construction allow it to be considered for shower rooms, spa-style bathrooms and other moisture-prone interiors when correctly installed.

The location of the 700mA driver and all electrical connections must comply with current bathroom wiring regulations. Final placement should be confirmed by a suitably qualified electrician.

Recessed Wall Installation

The Tivola is designed specifically for recessed wall mounting.

Its main installation measurements are:

• Visible fitting diameter: approximately 80mm
• Overall product depth: approximately 40mm
• Circular installation cut-out: 62mm
• Required recess depth: 30mm
• Supplied cable length: approximately 1000mm
• Approximate gross weight: 0.36kg

The product drawing also shows an overall front profile of approximately 100mm, including the directional face detail. Installation measurements should always be checked against the physical fitting and current instructions before cutting the wall.

Shallow 30mm Recess Depth

The required recess depth is approximately 30mm, making the Tivola shallower than many recessed marker lights.

This can make installation easier where wall depth is restricted, although sufficient space is still required for:

• The body of the fitting
• Cable routing
• Waterproof electrical connections
• The separately installed LED driver
• Safe heat dissipation
• Access for installation and maintenance

The Tivola should not be described as surface mounted because part of the product must be recessed into the wall.

62mm Circular Cut-Out

The fitting requires a 62mm round hole-saw cut-out.

Installers should confirm the mounting surface before cutting. The appropriate fixing and sealing method may differ between:

• Masonry walls
• Brick
• Rendered surfaces
• Plasterboard
• Timber panels
• Bathroom wall systems
• Exterior cladding
