In-Lite SWAY Outdoor Post Light

Choosing outdoor post lighting for planting borders and ornamental grasses is genuinely tricky. Get the height wrong and the light either disappears into the foliage or sits awkwardly above it. Get the distribution wrong and you end up with a bright spot rather than the soft, atmospheric glow the planting deserves.

For planted borders and landscaped edges, what you want is a light source that wraps light in all directions — what's called a 360° omnidirectional distribution — rather than one that simply throws a beam downward. Paired with the right height, this kind of diffuse output reads as a natural glow at ground level, lifting the planting without creating harsh contrast or glare.

The In-Lite SWAY Outdoor Post Light is built precisely for this situation. Its slim, anodised aluminium stem is topped with a circular diffuser that emits soft light in all directions, creating a continuous ambient glow around borders, grasses, and low planting schemes. With a CRI of 95 — meaning colours are rendered very accurately, close to natural daylight — planting looks as good at night as it does by day. The IP55 rating (protected against dust ingress and water jets from any direction) makes it fully suitable for exposed outdoor use, including the coastal and humid conditions common across Mallorca.

SWAY is available in two finishes — Black and Pearl Grey — and across three height options: Extra Low, Low, and High. This means you can tailor the post height to the surrounding planting, mix heights for a deliberately playful rhythm, or combine SWAY with the MINI SWAY for added variation. The slender profile is designed to sit quietly within planting rather than dominate it, bending gently in the breeze as its name suggests.

Installation notes: SWAY is constructed from anodised aluminium, making it lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Confirm driver and cabling requirements with In-Lite's low-voltage system specification — this product is part of a wider ecosystem designed to work together. IP55 suitability covers most outdoor zones, though check local installation requirements for proximity to water features.
