Uplighting a tree or sculpture sounds straightforward until the ground light you have specified fails within a season — corroded by irrigation water, cracked by vehicle loads, or producing a washed-out beam that flatters nothing. Choosing the wrong ground light is a common and costly mistake in outdoor lighting design.
For ground-recessed uplighting, the two things that matter most are water ingress protection and light quality. IP67 means the fitting is fully protected against temporary immersion in water — the highest practical rating for a ground light subject to irrigation, rainfall, or pooling. CRI, or Colour Rendering Index, measures how accurately a light source reveals the natural colours of what it illuminates; a CRI of 92 is exceptional for outdoor use, producing noticeably richer greens, textures, and tones than the standard 80 CRI fittings that dominate the market.
The In-Lite FLUX Outdoor Ground Spotlight is a Ø60 mm recessed uplight built for exactly this task. Rated IP67 and delivering warm white light at CRI 92, it is engineered to illuminate tall garden elements — trees, shrubs, facades, and sculptures — up to five metres in height. Its drive-over rating adds real flexibility, making it suitable for installation in driveways, pathways, and paved terraces without compromise. The metal construction and elegant surface ring allow installation into a range of surfaces including timber decking. In-Lite, based in the Netherlands, designs low-voltage outdoor lighting systems with a strong emphasis on ease of installation and long-term reliability in northern European — and coastal Mediterranean — conditions.
The FLUX carries a clean, low-profile aesthetic with a textured prismatic lens that manages glare and softens the visible light source. It is available in three finishes: Black, Pearl Grey, and Stainless Steel — allowing it to integrate with a wide range of hard landscaping palettes, from contemporary dark stone to natural timber and pale render.
The FLUX is part of In-Lite's Ø60 mm ground light system, with a range of compatible accessories including SPIKE 60 for soft ground installation, BOX 1 for in-ground housing, and PLATE 1 for surface mounting — giving you the flexibility to adapt to different substrate types within one consistent product family. Driver and system voltage requirements should be confirmed with your In-Lite system specification; In-Lite operates on a 12V DC low-voltage system, which simplifies installation and reduces electrical risk in outdoor environments.
