in-lite surface-mounted fixtures

in-lite surface-mounted fixtures are installed directly onto outdoor structures such as ceilings, beams, steps, and decking, making them ideal for places where recessed lighting is not suitable or possible. Choose from focused downward light, adjustable accent lighting, subtle indirect light, or continuous linear lighting to illuminate verandas, covered terraces, and architectural features throughout the garden.

Which in-lite surface-mounted fixture should I choose?

in-lite surface-mounted fixtures provide a practical alternative where recessed installation is not suitable or where you want the fixture itself to remain visible. Different models can be used for orientation, accent lighting, or directional illumination on surfaces such as steps, decking, and ceilings. Compare their light distribution and applications below to find the most suitable type.

in-lite SCOPE CEILING or AIM CEILING?

Choose the SCOPE CEILING series when you want a fixed, focused beam of light from a ceiling or beam. The MINI SCOPE CEILING offers a more compact option with a subtle light beam, while the SCOPE CEILING provides a stronger lighting effect.

Choose the AIM CEILING series when you want more control over the direction of the light. Its adjustable light heads can be aimed towards specific areas beneath a veranda or patio cover. The AIM CEILING, AIM CEILING DUO, and AIM CEILING TRIPLE provide one, two, or three adjustable spotlights respectively, making it easier to match the configuration to the area you want to illuminate.

in-lite EVO HYDE or EVO FLEX?

Choose the EVO HYDE when you want a compact surface-mounted fixture that remains discreetly hidden beneath an edge or structure. The EVO HYDE 180 and EVO HYDE 550 are 18 cm and 55 cm long respectively.

Choose the EVO FLEX when you want to create a longer, continuous line of light. Its flexible design makes it suitable for following architectural lines, and it is available in 1, 2, and 3-metre lengths. For smart control of light colour and ambience, the SMART EVO FLEX TONE range is available in 1, 2, and 5-metre lengths.

Frequently asked questions

Can in-lite surface-mounted fixtures be installed under a veranda or patio cover?

Yes. Several in-lite surface-mounted fixtures are designed for use on outdoor structures such as ceilings and beams. The SCOPE CEILING and AIM CEILING are suitable options for lighting from above, while the right fixture depends on the required light direction and effect.

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.

What accessories do I need to install the EVO FLEX?

The accessories required for the EVO FLEX depend on the installation. Profiles are available for straight light lines, while flexible fixing strips, clips, extension cords, and corner pieces support other layouts. The correct driver (included with your purchase) is also required for the chosen EVO FLEX version. Check the in-lite accessories range when planning your installation.

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 change the light effect of my fixture?

Yes, selected in-lite fixtures can be combined with accessories that adjust their appearance or light effect. Available options depend on the specific fixture and can include lenses, shutters and other design accessories. Check the page of the appropriate series to see which accessories match the products.

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.

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 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.
