In-Lite DOT 22 Outdoor Ground Light

Lighting a driveway or garden path sounds straightforward until you realise the ground light you've chosen isn't rated for standing water, can't connect to a smart control system, or renders stone and planting in a flat, unconvincing light. These are the specification gaps that create expensive corrections after installation.

For recessed ground lights, the two details that matter most are IP rating and colour rendering. IP67 means the fixture is fully protected against dust ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water — essential for any surface-mounted or flush-installed exterior fitting exposed to rain pooling or pressure washing. CRI, or Colour Rendering Index, measures how accurately a light source reproduces colour; at 97, DOT 22 is exceptionally high, which means stone, planting, timber, and gravel all appear true to daylight rather than washed out.

The In-Lite DOT 22 is a compact, flush-mount outdoor ground light from the Dutch brand In-Lite, engineered for seamless integration into paving, decking, and landscaped surfaces. Its low-profile disc form sits flush with the surrounding material, contributing to visibility and atmosphere without visual intrusion. At CRI 97 and rated IP67, it performs in demanding outdoor conditions while rendering its surroundings with remarkable accuracy. DOT 22 is also the only ground spotlight in the In-Lite range compatible with the SMART HUB-300, enabling intelligent control where required.

The DOT 22 carries a minimalist, industrial aesthetic — a brushed metal bezel with a frosted central lens and precision gasket seal. It is part of the wider DOT family, which also includes a 60 mm version, allowing a playful mix of scales across a single scheme. Coloured ring inserts are available in Black, Pearl Grey, and Stainless Steel, offering considered customisation without complicating specification. For pathway rhythm, In-Lite recommends spacing units every 1.5 metres for optimum visual effect.

DOT 22 is compatible with all In-Lite HUBs, including the SMART HUB-300. As with all In-Lite low-voltage systems, installation requires a compatible HUB — consult In-Lite's installation guidance or speak with us directly to confirm system sizing and cable routing for your project. The metal housing contributes to durability in coastal and high-humidity environments where lesser fittings can degrade quickly.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we work with products like the In-Lite DOT 22 precisely because they close the gap between a lighting concept and a reliable installed result. The combination of a high-CRI light source, a proven IP67 rating, smart control compatibility, and a flexible family range means fewer surprises on site and more confidence at the specification stage — whether you're lighting a villa driveway or a terraced garden path.
