in-lite ACE

The in-lite ACE series combines modern bollards and wall lights with a clean architectural design and controlled directional light. Designed for paths, borders, driveways, walls, and façades, the ACE provides focused outdoor lighting in a consistent design style.

Which in-lite ACE is right for your garden?

The right ACE model depends mainly on where the fixture will be installed, the direction of light you want, and the available power supply. Bollards provide directional light at different heights, while the wall lights offer downward or up-down illumination in 12V and 230V options.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a lighting plan for my garden?

A garden lighting plan is a simple sketch that shows where every outdoor light will be installed before you buy any fixtures. A good lighting plan improves safety, highlights key features such as trees and pathways, and helps you choose the correct transformer and number of fixtures. Most gardens can be planned in five simple steps and within an hour.

What's the difference between functional and atmospheric lighting?

Functional lighting keeps you safe; think steps, doorways, and paths. Atmospheric lighting is there to set the mood, like a tree lit from below or a soft glow near your terrace.

Can I install in-lite garden lighting myself?

Yes. The in-lite 12V system is designed for easy installation without any specialist knowledge. Using Easy-Lock connectors, most homeowners can install or expand their lighting system themselves. Always follow the installation instructions and ensure the transformer is installed in a dry, well-ventilated location.

How do I choose the right transformer for my garden lighting?

The right transformer depends on the total VA required by your garden lighting. Add together the VA rating of all the fixtures in your lighting plan and choose an in-lite transformer with sufficient capacity. Conveniently, the names correspond to their maximum VA (HUB 75 = 75 VA, SMART HUB 150 = 150 VA). Don't forget to allow some room for future expansion. This avoids the hassle of having to replace the transformer in the future.

Can I connect multiple in-lite fixtures to one ground cable?

Yes. Multiple in-lite fixtures can be connected to the same 12V ground cable. Each fixture is connected at the required position along the cable using an Easy-Lock connector. The total capacity of your lighting system (VA) must remain within the capacity of the in-lite transformer.

Are all in-lite accessories compatible with every fixture?

No. Many in-lite accessories are designed for specific fixtures, product series, or system components. Always check the compatibility information on the accessory or fixture product page before ordering. If you're unsure, our lighting specialists can help you find the correct accessory for your in-lite product.

How do I choose the right height for an in-lite bollard?

Choose the height of your bollard according to its surroundings and the role you want it to play in the garden. Lower models work well beside low planting and where you want the fixture to remain discreet, while taller bollards can remain more visible among higher planting. Several in-lite series are available in different heights, allowing you to use a consistent design across different parts of the garden.

Can I combine in-lite 12V and 230V lighting in the same garden?

Yes. You can use in-lite 12V and 230V lighting within the same lighting plan, but they use separate electrical systems. The 12V fixtures connect to an in-lite HUB and low-voltage cable, while 230V fixtures use a suitable mains connection. A 230V fixture cannot be connected directly to an in-lite 12V cable.

How do I make my garden feel warm and inviting with lighting?

Use warm white light (2700K to 3000K) and combine lighting at different heights to create a welcoming atmosphere. Add soft light around seating areas, use directional lighting to highlight selected plants or trees, and leave some areas darker. This balance of light and shadow creates depth and prevents the garden from looking uniformly lit.
