In-Lite HYVE 22 Outdoor Ground Spotlight

Lighting the edges of a driveway or the nosing of a stair tread sounds simple — until you realise most fixtures are either too bulky to sit flush, too fragile to walk over, or produce a harsh glare that ruins the effect you were after. Getting this detail right matters more than it seems.

Ground-recessed spotlights need to balance three things: physical robustness, optical control, and near-invisibility when the lights are off. The honeycomb lens — a grid-like diffuser built into the top face — is the key to that last point. It breaks up the light source into a controlled, even pattern that reads as ambience rather than a bright point of glare.

The In-Lite HYVE 22 is a compact outdoor ground spotlight from the Dutch low-voltage lighting brand In-Lite, part of their HYVE range. At just 22 mm in diameter, the fixture sits almost flush with any surface — deck boards, poured concrete, stone paving, or stair treads — and disappears completely during the day. It is rated for drive-over use, making it a practical choice for driveway edging, entrance paths, and terrace borders where foot and vehicle traffic is a reality.

The HYVE 22 is available in Black, Pearl Grey, and Stainless Steel. It can also be specified without the outer ring for an even more recessed, surface-flush finish. The minimal cylindrical form keeps the product design deliberately subordinate to the landscape or architecture it serves.

The HYVE 22 is a low-voltage fixture designed to work within the In-Lite 12V outdoor lighting system. It connects via an integrated power cable and requires a compatible In-Lite transformer — not included with the fixture itself. If you are planning a run of multiple ground lights, transformer sizing is the critical first step: the combined wattage of all connected fixtures must sit within the transformer's output capacity. This is straightforward to calculate, and we can help you get it right before you order.

At Lightsource Mallorca, we work with products like the HYVE 22 precisely because the specification detail is where projects succeed or fail. Choosing the right transformer, planning cable runs, and confirming surface compatibility before installation saves time and cost on site. If you are specifying for a terrace, driveway, or garden path project in Mallorca, we can support the full picture — not just the product.
