Outdoor lighting placed at low level — path edges, steps, planting borders — can look stunning in the design phase and genuinely unpleasant to live with if the light source is visible at eye level. Glare from ground-level fixtures is one of those specification oversights that only becomes obvious once the project is lit up at night.
Managing glare at source is always the cleaner solution. A glare shield — sometimes called a shroud or hood — physically blocks the light source from direct view in one direction, without reducing the overall light output to the space. It is a small addition that makes a meaningful difference to how a scheme feels to walk through.
The In-Lite SHIELD is a purpose-designed glare shield accessory for In-Lite SCOPE and MINI SCOPE luminaires. Developed by Dutch outdoor lighting specialists In-Lite, it clips securely onto the light housing and orients to block the light source on one side — protecting sightlines without altering the fixture itself. Its asymmetric hooded profile is engineered specifically for this function, and the matte black, fine-grained finish is non-reflective by design, eliminating secondary light scatter from the shield surface itself.
The SHIELD carries a minimalist, architectural silhouette that sits cleanly on the SCOPE family of fixtures. The matte black construction is consistent with In-Lite's design language — low-profile, unobtrusive, and built to disappear into the landscape once installed.
Installation is straightforward: the recessed interior lip seats onto the compatible SCOPE or MINI SCOPE housing securely, and the shield can be removed just as easily if orientation needs adjusting. No additional tools or components are required.
At Lightsource Mallorca, we include accessories like the SHIELD as part of a properly coordinated specification — because getting the luminaire right is only half the job. Glare control, orientation, and finish consistency all contribute to a scheme that performs as well after dark as it looks on paper. We are here to make sure the details land correctly, on time and without surprises.
