in-lite AIM
Which in-lite AIM is right for your garden?
The right AIM model depends mainly on the height at which you want to position the light, where the fixture will be mounted, and how many directions you want to illuminate. The series ranges from low spotlights for planting to bollards and surface-mounted models, all of which have DUO and TRIPLE configurations for one, two, or three individually adjustable LIGHT HEADS.
| Model | Fixture type | Power supply | Key difference | Why this model fits |

| in-lite AIM EXTRA LOW | Outdoor spotlight | 12V | 16 cm high | Positions directional light close to low planting, pots, and small garden features |
| in-lite AIM LOW | Outdoor spotlight | 12V | 40 cm high | Raises the light point for borders, shrubs, ornamental grasses, and paths |
| in-lite AIM | Outdoor spotlight | 12V | 80 cm high | Positions the light higher for in between taller plants and bigger garden features |
| in-lite AIM CEILING | Surface-mounted spotlight | 12V | Ceiling- or wall-mounted | Provides directional lighting beneath canopies, verandas, and in garden rooms |
| in-lite AIM FLOOR | Bollard | 12V | Approx. 153 cm high | Provides high-level adjustable light around terraces and lounge areas as part of the in-lite 12V system |
| in-lite AIM FLOOR 230V | Bollard | 230V | Approx. 153 cm high | Provides the same freestanding lighting concept where a suitable mains connection is available |

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.
How many garden lights do I need?
This very much depends on the size of your garden, the number of features (walls, trees, borders, etc.), and your preferences. Most medium-sized gardens use somewhere between 8 and 15 fixtures, split between functional and atmospheric lighting. Larger gardens often need more. You can always buy a smaller amount of fixtures first to test how they look and then expand with more later.
Which type of garden light is best for trees?
Outdoor spotlights are generally the best choice for illuminating trees because they allow you to direct the beam exactly where it's needed. The ideal beam angle depends on the height and width of the tree, so larger trees often require a different lighting approach than smaller ornamental trees.
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.
How do I choose the right outdoor spotlight for my garden?
Choose an outdoor spotlight based on what you want to illuminate, the size of the feature and the lighting effect you want to create. Compact spotlights are suitable for smaller plants and shrubs, while larger features such as mature trees may require a more powerful spotlight. For water features, choose a fixture specifically designed for that application.
Which in-lite bollard is best for a pathway?
The best in-lite bollard for a garden path depends on the lighting effect, fixture height and design you prefer. The ACE, EVO and NAIL provide more directed orientation lighting, while the DISC and LIV spread light around the fixture and onto the surrounding ground. Consider how much of the path you want to illuminate and how visible you want the fixture to be during the day.
Can I use in-lite bollards between planting?
Yes. Bollards from in-lite can be used between plants to combine orientation lighting with atmosphere. Consider the height and density of the surrounding planting when choosing the fixture. Lower bollards work well with low planting, while taller models remain more visible among grasses, shrubs and other higher planting.
Do in-lite surface-mounted fixtures need to be recessed?
No. Surface-mounted fixtures are installed directly onto a suitable surface rather than recessed into it. This makes them particularly useful where there is insufficient space or no suitable construction for a recessed fixture.
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.
