Features & benefits of the Gilvus Black

Compact design with maximum impact
The Gilvus Black is the smaller sibling of the Sibus and proves that size isn't everything. With dimensions of just 80 x 70 x 92 millimetres, this LED outdoor spot fits anywhere. Yet this wall lighting produces a very pleasant light output thanks to 177 lumens and warm white colour (3000K) that bathes your garden in a warm light. The light is directed downwards with a 40-degree spread angle, so accents fall precisely where you want them.

Energy-efficient and environmentally friendly
At just 4 watts of power, the Garden Lights Gilvus Black is extremely efficient and helps lower energy costs. The integrated LED has excellent colour rendering (CRI 82) and operates reliably at temperatures from -20 to +50 degrees Celsius. This means this LED outdoor spot will withstand Dutch weather conditions throughout the year. Garden Lights prioritises sustainability – energy-saving without compromising on light quality.

Robust construction with IP44 protection
The die-cast aluminium of the Gilvus Black is both elegant and strong. The IP44 rating provides protection against splashing water and dust, essential for a garden lamp that will last for years. Protection class III offers optimal safety for your family and pets. With a 3-metre cable, installation is flexible and you can position the lamp in various locations, such as along walls, fences or garden paths.

Replaceable LED with standard connection
The LED source (MR16 GU5.3) is replaceable, meaning you don't need to replace the entire lamp if the source ever needs replacing. This saves considerably on replacement costs in the long term. Garden Lights supplies the Gilvus Black complete with integrated light source, so you can start using it straight away upon receipt.

Applications in the garden

The Garden Lights Gilvus Black is ideal for wall and fence lighting and offers a suitable solution for every garden situation. Use this LED wall spot to subtly illuminate your fence – this not only provides better visibility during the evening hours, but also creates a sense of safety. Unwanted visitors will be less inclined to approach your home when the garden is well lit.

The Gilvus Black is also suitable for garden paths, entrances and seating areas. Mount several units along your fence for a cohesive light sculpture that frames your entire garden. The warm white light creates an inviting ambiance lighting for your garden that's ideal for summer evenings. The compact dimensions mean the lamp won't stand out and fits perfectly into modern garden designs.

Because the Gilvus Black operates on 12V, you can integrate it effortlessly into an existing 12V garden lighting system. Boender Outdoor works closely with Garden Lights to offer you complete sets and extension kits, so you can build your garden lighting exactly as you wish.

Installation & tips

Installing the Garden Lights Gilvus Black is straightforward and perfect for DIY enthusiasts. Start by choosing a suitable location on your wall or fence, taking into account the 3-metre power cable. Ensure this cable is routed safely and protected from damage. Secure the wall spot firmly to your wall using the supplied fixings. Check that all connections are properly insulated and securely fastened.

Connect the lamp to your 12V Garden Lights power supply or transformer (not included). Make sure your entire 12V garden lighting system is properly balanced – you can usually connect up to 20 or more spots, depending on your transformer's capacity. Switch on your system and enjoy the warm light of the Gilvus Black. Regularly check that all connections are secure and free from rust or moisture problems.

A helpful tip: position the Gilvus Black at least 1.5 metres high to ensure optimal lighting and safety. Clean the lamp occasionally with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and dirt. This helps maintain light output. By following these simple maintenance and installation tips, your garden lighting will last for years.

Frequently asked questions about the Garden Lights Gilvus Black

Can I use the Garden Lights Gilvus Black in winter conditions?

Absolutely. The Gilvus Black is designed for extreme temperature fluctuations and operates reliably from -20 to +50 degrees Celsius. This means you can use this LED wall spot throughout the year, even in harsh Dutch winters with frost and snow. The die-cast aluminium provides optimal protection against rust and corrosion.

How many replacement LED bulbs will I need for a whole season?

With a lifespan of 25,000 operating hours, your LED will last at least 5 to 7 years if you switch on the lamp for approximately 10 hours per day. This means you won't need a replacement source anytime soon in normal use. Garden Lights supplies MR16 GU5.3 LED replacements, so you can always have a backup. When the lifespan is reached, replacement is a simple job you can do yourself.

Is the Garden Lights Gilvus Black suitable for damp environments such as against a rain-exposed wall?

Yes, the IP44 protection ensures that splashing water is not a problem. The Gilvus Black is not, however, completely waterproof and must not be submerged directly in water. For fences and walls where rainwater splashes is this LED outdoor spot perfectly suited. Just make sure the power cable stays out of the rain and is securely fastened to your house or a dry location.

Can I use multiple Gilvus Black lamps together for more light?

Yes, this is not only possible but highly recommended. By installing several units in series, you create a cohesive light sculpture and double the total light level. Another advantage is that your entire fence and wall is elegantly illuminated. Make sure your 12V transformer can handle the total wattage of all lamps – in most cases you can connect 20 or more spots to one transformer.

What's the difference between the Gilvus Black and the larger Sibus?

The Gilvus Black is the smaller, more compact version of the Sibus with identical functions but a more subtle design. The Sibus is suitable for those who want more impact and a larger light effect, whilst the Gilvus fits perfectly into more subtle garden designs and smaller spaces. Both are of the same quality and come with the same 5-year guarantee – it's mainly a matter of preference and available space.
