All You Have to Know about Inground Landscape Lighting

Inground landscape lighting, particularly LED inground lights, is essential for enhancing the ambiance of outdoor spaces, providing both functional illumination and aesthetic appeal. These lights are not only ideal for illuminating homes but are also utilized in various public areas, offering soft ambient lighting that fosters a warm, inviting atmosphere while increasing safety and practicality.

What are LED Inground Lights?

LED inground lights are specialized landscape lighting solutions installed underground or within walls. Also known as well lights in some regions, these fixtures come with an impressive IP67 waterproof rating, ensuring they can withstand the elements. With features such as leak protection, water resistance, and durable energy efficiency, they are frequently implemented in urban lighting projects, significantly enhancing the night-time landscape of cities.

The Various Types of Inground Landscape Lights

Inground landscape lights can be classified based on several factors:

• By Shape: Available in round, square, and linear/rectangular shapes.
• By Power Source: You can choose between wired and solar-powered options. Wired LED inground lights typically operate between 110V and 240VAC, while solar-powered lights consist of solar panels, LED chips, and batteries operating at 12V or 24V. Note that Bitaso Lite does not manufacture solar lights.
• By Beam Angle: For instance, the adjustable inground lights direct light in a specific angle, allowing for optimal projection based on your needs.

The most recent designs provide screws on the housing to modify the beam angle without dismantling the fixture, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Color Options for Inground Lights

Inground lights are available in a plethora of vibrant colors, such as red, yellow, blue, green, white, purple, RGB, and twinkling effects, adding captivating illumination to any outdoor setting.

Key Features of Inground LED Lights

Inground LED lights have a compact and sleek design, boasting water and leak-proof features. They have long lifespans and rarely require bulb replacements except in case of accidents. These energy-efficient lights consume minimal power, helping you save on electricity bills. Constructed from non-flammable materials, they also ensure safety with components that can endure temperatures over 125°C.

Installation Guide for Inground Lights

To ensure safe installation, always begin by cutting off the power supply.

Organize all components thoroughly before starting. Dig a hole according to the shape and size of the fixture, securing it with concrete for stability. Prepare a waterproof junction box for the electrical connections and ensure you use a moisture-proof power line for longevity.

Addressing waterproofing challenges is crucial in maintaining the integrity of the lighting system:

• Utilize robust die-cast aluminum housings, with a recommended thickness exceeding 2.5mm for water resistance.
• Use tempered glass for the cover to prevent thermal expansion issues.
• Ensure effective heat dissipation to avoid condensation.
• Implement sealing methods like potting material to enhance waterproofing.
