in-lite SWAY

The in-lite SWAY series combines bollards, wall lights, table lights, and pendant lights with soft, diffused illumination and an organic design. From flexible bollards that move subtly with the wind to lighting for walls, terraces, and covered seating areas, the series creates comfortable ambient light across different parts of the garden.

Which in-lite SWAY is right for your garden?

The right SWAY depends on where you want to use the light and how prominent you want the fixture to be. Choose between flexible bollards for planting, wall lights for vertical surfaces, portable table lights, and pendant lights for covered seating and dining areas.

Why choose the in-lite SWAY series?

  • Soft, diffused ambient lighting
    The rounded light heads distribute gentle light around the fixture, making the SWAY suitable for comfortable ambient lighting rather than focused accent lighting.
  • Natural movement between planting
    The flexible stems of the SWAY and MINI SWAY bollards move subtly with the wind and surrounding plants, creating an organic lighting effect in borders.
  • Two light head sizes and three bollard heights
    Choose between the subtle Ø50 mm MINI SWAY and the larger Ø85 mm SWAY, with different heights to suit low, medium, or taller planting.
  • Dimmable and portable options
    Both TABLE fixtures and the 230V PENDANT lights are all dimmable by hand. The other lamps can be used in combination with the external TOUCH DIMMER.

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.

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.

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.

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.

How far apart should bollards be placed?

There is no single spacing that works for every garden. The right distance between bollards depends on the fixture's light distribution and height, the layout of the path or border and the lighting effect you want to create. Rather than spacing every fixture equally, position bollards where they help define the route and test the lighting effect after dark before finalising the installation. Try experimenting with a smaller amount of fixtures first before adding more.

How far apart should in-lite wall lights be?

For general wall and fence lighting, spacing wall lights around 1,5 to 2 metres apart is a useful starting point. The ideal distance depends on the fixture's light distribution, mounting height, and the effect you want to create. Wider spacing creates more distinct pools of light, while closer spacing produces a more continuous lighting effect.

At what height should in-lite wall lights be installed?

For general wall and ambient lighting, a mounting height of around 1,5 to 1,8 metres above ground level is a useful starting point. Low-level wall lights used for paths, steps, or orientation lighting can be positioned much lower, typically around 30 to 45 cm above the ground. Always consider the fixture's light distribution and potential glare when choosing the final mounting height.

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.
