In-Lite HYVE 22 Outdoor Ground Spot

Recessed ground lighting sounds simple until it isn't. Glare, trip hazards, water ingress, and fixtures that look like manhole covers by day are all common problems — and they're avoidable with the right specification from the start.

For ground-level outdoor lighting, the critical factors are protection rating, anti-glare control, and surface flush-fit. IP67 means the fixture can withstand temporary submersion — essential for stair treads, terraces, and driveways where surface water is a reality. CRI, or Colour Rendering Index, describes how accurately a light source renders colours; a CRI of 95 is considered excellent, keeping stone, timber, and planting looking natural rather than washed out.

The In-Lite HYVE 22 is a small, circular recessed outdoor ground spot from Dutch lighting brand In-Lite, part of their HYVE range. At just 22 mm in diameter, it is nearly invisible during the day — sitting flush with the surface thanks to its low-profile metal bezel. Come evening, the integrated honeycomb lens diffuses and directs warm light to create genuine ambience without glare. With an IP67 rating and drive-over capability, it is equally at home in a driveway edge, a terrace deck, or a stair tread.

The HYVE 22 is available in Black, Pearl Grey, and Stainless Steel. A version with an add-ring option accepts the separately available RING 28 accessory via a screw thread, allowing a slightly larger surface trim where aesthetics require it. The ring is not included and must be ordered separately if required.

The HYVE 22 is designed for recessed flush mounting. It is a low-voltage fixture compatible with In-Lite's 12V DC outdoor transformer ecosystem — a transformer is required and sold separately. If specifying multiple units, In-Lite's system approach allows several fixtures to run from a single transformer, which simplifies installation considerably. Confirm transformer capacity against your total fixture count before ordering.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we work with specification-led outdoor ranges like the In-Lite HYVE 22 precisely because the details matter — the right IP rating for the zone, the right CRI for the materials, and the right system components ordered together so nothing is missing on install day. We can help you confirm transformer sizing, ring accessory requirements, and layout spacing to make sure the project runs smoothly from drawing to ground.
