Uplighting tall, slender elements is one of those tasks where the wrong beam angle causes real problems — flood too wide and you lose drama and waste light; specify too conservatively and you simply don't reach the top. Getting a narrow, high-throw beam from a flush ground fitting, without glare, is harder than it looks.
For this kind of application, beam angle and throw distance are the two numbers that matter most. A 13-degree beam — narrow enough to stay disciplined over distance — combined with an 11-metre range means you can confidently light a tall cypress, a slender column, or a high facade plane without light spilling where it shouldn't. A recessed ground light also keeps the source invisible, with the optic sitting flush to the surface so there's no trip hazard and no visible fixture interrupting the landscape at night.
The In-Lite BIG FLUX NARROW is a low-profile recessed outdoor ground uplight from In-Lite's FLUX family, a Dutch brand well regarded for robust, design-conscious outdoor luminaires. With its precision 13-degree angle of illumination and proven 11-metre light range, it is purpose-built for illuminating narrow vertical elements — tall ornamental trees, architectural columns, or high rendered wall planes — where a broader beam would simply dilute the effect.
The fixture features a circular form with a wide, flat metal rim and a recessed, lens-protected light source. The rim — made of high-quality anodised aluminium — gives a clean, minimalist face with no visible fasteners on the top plate, creating a seamless finish when set into hard surfaces. The BIG FLUX NARROW is available in Black, Pearl Grey, and Stainless Steel, allowing the fitting to sit discreetly in dark decking, pale stone, or brushed metal contexts respectively.
Installation is flexible. The BIG FLUX NARROW is suitble for flush installation in solid surfaces and is also rated as surchargeable — meaning vehicles or foot traffic passing over it is not an issue. For softer substrates such as earth, gravel, or grass, it combines directly with the SPIKE 60 ground stake accessory, allowing repositioning without fixed groundwork. It can also be incorporated into the BOX-1 accessory for a more permanent in-ground housing solution. Note that IP rating, driver, and lamp specifications are not listed here — confirm these with your supplier before specifying, particularly for zones with standing water risk.
At Lightsource Mallorca, we help you select the right fitting for the right location — then make sure it actually arrives and installs as planned. The BIG FLUX NARROW sits within In-Lite's wider FLUX family, which includes the FLUX, BIG FLUX, BIG FLUX ASYMMETRIC, and SMART FLUX TONE variants, so if your project needs a mix of beam profiles across a garden or facade scheme, we can coordinate the full range as a coherent specification rather than a patchwork of guesses.
