In-Lite EVO Hyde Outdoor Ground Light

Lighting under steps, decking, or balustrades sounds straightforward until the fitting you chose creates hotspots, washes unevenly, or simply isn't robust enough to survive outdoors long-term. Specifying the wrong linear ground light is a common and frustrating mistake — especially when it's buried in a build.

What you're looking for is a luminaire that delivers genuinely diffuse, even light output and holds up in an outdoor environment without demanding constant attention. IP55 means the housing is rated against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction — solid protection for fixtures set into steps, pond edges, or below decking. CRI, or Colour Rendering Index, tells you how accurately a light source renders colours; at 93, the EVO Hyde sits well above the minimum threshold for quality exterior lighting, making materials, planting, and stonework look as intended.

The In-Lite EVO Hyde Outdoor Ground Light is a linear indirect luminaire from the Dutch brand's premium EVO range — a collection built around modern, sleek design and high-grade engineering. The dark grey anodised aluminium housing conceals a high-quality LED source behind a diamond-cut lens structure that breaks light into a beautifully diffuse, glare-free wash rather than a series of visible points. With a CRI of 93 and IP55 protection, it is well-suited to architectural accent lighting in exposed outdoor environments across Mallorca's varied climate conditions.

The EVO Hyde is available in two sizes — the EVO Hyde 180 for shorter runs and the EVO Hyde 550 where more coverage is needed. Multiple units can be placed in sequence to extend the effect across longer steps or wall bases. The minimalist, screwless exterior keeps the aesthetic clean when the light is off, and the anodised aluminium finish resists corrosion and weathering over time.

The EVO Hyde comes supplied with an EASY-LOCK connector as standard, with a 60 cm cable on the fitting for hardwired connection into the In-Lite low-voltage system. The fully enclosed housing — open only at the front face — ensures unidirectional light output with no light scatter upward or to the sides, keeping the effect precisely where it belongs.
