Match the fitting, ring and transformer
Trimless bodies and threaded add ring modules are not interchangeable. The visible ring diameter is not the drill size. Confirm clear depth, drainage and the mounting accessory for the exact assembly. FUSION and HYVE must not be connected to SMART HUB 300.
FUSION is a soft diffuse marker, HYVE creates a honeycomb effect and DOT gives a more direct point. FLUX and BIG FLUX are uplighting choices for features. Only use a fitting underwater when the manufacturer explicitly specifies that application.
In-Lite Recessed & Ground-Light Guide
Confirm the complete assembly before construction
Some products on this page are complete lights; others are modules or accessories designed to be combined. The product title and Included Items section should identify what is supplied. Build the complete bill of materials and test-fit components before the final paving or joinery work is signed off.
Frequently asked questions
Which In-Lite recessed light is best for a path?
For route marking, compare the light effects of FUSION, HYVE, DOT and PUCK rather than choosing on diameter alone. Select a comfortable output and check how it looks from the normal approach.
Which recessed light is best for a tree?
Use a more focused uplight such as FLUX, BIG FLUX or a controllable NERO model, matched to the tree’s height, canopy and viewing distance.
What is an asymmetric recessed light?
It directs the principal beam to one side rather than straight upward. This is useful beside a wall, hedge or feature where centred light would waste output.
What is the difference between FUSION and FLUX?
FUSION is associated with a softer diffuse point, while FLUX is intended to project a more defined uplighting beam. Check the exact model data because sizes and variants differ.
What is HYVE used for?
HYVE provides a decorative honeycomb-style light effect that works well as a marker in paving, decking or walls where a softer point is wanted.
What is NERO used for?
NERO is a recessed uplight with aiming capability, useful when the light must be integrated into the ground but directed more precisely at planting or architecture.
Do all recessed modules include a bezel?
No. Several products are explicitly sold as light modules without a ring or bezel. Check the title, compatible accessories and Included Items before ordering.
What are RING and PLATE accessories?
They provide the visible trim or mounting interface for compatible light modules in different sizes, shapes and finishes. Select only the accessory documented for the module.
What are BOX and SPIKE accessories for?
They adapt certain recessed-light components for the specified installation context, such as a construction recess or soft-ground mounting. Compatibility is model-specific.
Can recessed lights be installed in existing paving?
Sometimes, but the cut-out, depth, cable access and drainage must be achievable without damaging the surface. It is much easier to plan them before paving is laid.
Do recessed lights need drainage?
Many ground-recessed installations require a free-draining base and must not sit in a water-holding pocket. Follow the current installation instructions for the exact fitting and surface.
Can I drive over an In-Lite recessed light?
Only where the exact product documentation explicitly permits the relevant load and installation method. Do not infer drive-over suitability from a metal bezel or IP rating.
Does an IP67 rating approve permanent underwater use?
An IP67 rating alone does not approve continuous underwater use. Choose a fitting whose current instructions allow the intended submerged installation, such as the documented SUB underwater light.
How do I avoid glare from an uplight?
Keep strong beams away from normal eye lines, use asymmetric or shielded effects where suitable and test the fitting at night from the house, terrace and path.
When should I choose a spike spotlight instead?
Choose a spike light where planting will change, aiming needs future adjustment or cutting the hard surface is undesirable. Recessed lights suit permanent, integrated positions.
