How do similar in-lite series differ?
Some in-lite series can be used for similar applications but differ in light distribution, fixture design, and output. The comparisons below highlight the most important distinctions.
in-lite AIM or SCOPE?
Both the AIM and SCOPE are designed for directional accent lighting. The AIM stands out due to its modular design, with configurations that use one, two, or three individually adjustable light heads. This makes the series particularly useful when you want to illuminate several features from a single position.
The SCOPE follows a more traditional adjustable spotlight design and offers a wider range of sizes and beam options. The series extends from compact spotlights for smaller planting to BIG and NARROW models for larger trees, façades, and tall, narrow objects.
in-lite FLUX or NERO?
Both the FLUX and NERO provide recessed uplighting, but they cover different lighting requirements. The FLUX offers a broad range of beam options, from compact accent lighting to wider, narrow and asymmetric light distributions for trees, façades, and other garden features.
The NERO is focused on powerful uplighting. The range progresses from the NERO to BIG NERO and BIG NERO NARROW, making it a great choice when larger trees, façades, or tall vertical features require a stronger lighting effect.
in-lite DOT, FUSION, HYVE, or PUCK?
These four series all offer compact recessed lighting but create distinctly different effects.
- The DOT provides subtle accent and orientation lighting in a very small format.
- The FUSION produces a soft, round light primarily intended for comfortable orientation.
- The HYVE uses its characteristic honeycomb structure to reduce glare, making it suitable for paving, terraces, steps, and driveways.
- The PUCK differs by sticking out of the ground a small bit and spreading soft light a full 360°, making it perfect for edges, decking, steps, and seating areas.
Can you combine different in-lite series?
Yes. An in-lite garden lighting plan does not need to be built around a single series. Combining different series allows you to use the most suitable lighting effect for each part of the garden while still creating a balanced overall design.
For example, recessed lights can provide orientation along paths and terraces, directional spotlights can highlight trees and planting, and bollards can add softer light around borders and seating areas. Wall lights can then provide practical or architectural lighting around the house, fences, and other structures.
When combining series, focus on the overall lighting effect rather than making every fixture look the same. Repeating selected colours, shapes, or design details can help create visual consistency while allowing each fixture to perform the function it is best suited to.
How does the HUB fit into the in-lite system?
Unlike the lighting series above, the in-lite HUB series consists of transformers rather than fixtures. A HUB supplies power to compatible 12V in-lite fixtures like the ACE or SCOPE together with a ground cable and provides the central control point for the low-voltage system.
The standard HUB combines the power supply with a timer and light sensor. The SMART HUB adds app control, separately controllable lighting zones, and the ability to add smart lighting to your outdoor space, giving you even more flexibility and control.
The right HUB therefore depends on your lighting plan and the level of control you need, rather than on a particular lighting effect or fixture design.
Why choose in-lite outdoor lighting?
-
A complete range for different lighting effects
Combine recessed lights, bollards, wall lights, spotlights, and other fixture types to create functional and atmospheric lighting throughout the garden. -
Flexible 12V lighting system
A majority of the in-lite outdoor fixtures operate on low voltage and connect through an in-lite HUB and ground cable, providing a central system for powering and controlling garden lighting.
-
Similar designs across different fixture types
Several in-lite series extend across multiple fixture formats, making it possible to repeat related designs across different areas of the garden.
-
Smart lighting options available
Selected in-lite products add app-based control, adjustable light intensity, and (where supported by the fixture) adjustable light colour. -
230V lighting options
Several in-lite series are also available in 230V versions for locations where a suitable mains connection is available, including selected wall lights, pendant lights, and bollards.

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.
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.
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.
Can I expand my garden lighting system later?
Yes. One of the advantages of the in-lite 12V system is that it can easily be expanded over time. You can start with lighting for your patio and pathways, then add fixtures for trees, borders, or other garden features as your lighting plan evolves.
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.
Why has my in-lite fixture stopped working?
An in-lite fixture can stop working for several reasons. The most common causes are a loose Easy-Lock connection, a disconnected ground cable, a transformer without power or a faulty fixture. Before replacing any components, check each part of the system to identify the source of the problem.
Can one faulty fixture affect the rest of my garden lighting?
In most cases, a single faulty fixture will not stop the rest of the system from working. However, a damaged cable or an incorrectly installed connector can affect multiple fixtures connected to the same cable. Checking the system step by step will help you locate the issue easily.
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 many in-lite lights can I connect to one transformer?
There is no fixed number of in-lite lights you can connect to one transformer. The limit depends on the combined VA of the fixtures rather than the number of lights. Add together the VA of all connected fixtures and make sure the total remains below the maximum VA capacity of your HUB or SMART HUB.
Can I install an in-lite transformer outdoors?
Yes. An in-lite transformer can be installed outdoors, but it must be mounted correctly and protected from the weather. in-lite recommends mounting the transformer at least 50 cm above the ground and away from direct rainfall. If no sheltered location is available, use a compatible in-lite PROTECTOR for your HUB model.
