Choosing In-Lite Wall, Ceiling and Pendant Lights: 12V or Mains

Light an entrance, fence or covered seating area

Choose a downlight to illuminate the area below a fitting, an upward and downward beam to add a pattern to a wall, or a softer diffuse light for a relaxed seating area. Ceiling spots give a more directed effect beneath a canopy, while pendants bring the light closer to a dining table.

First, choose the right power supply

  • Low voltage models: these need a suitable HUB or SMART HUB transformer and In lite system cable and connections. They can join compatible garden lights on the same correctly sized system. Allow for the cable route up the wall or into the roof, and add the correct fixture extension if needed.
  • Models marked 100 to 230V: these use a suitable mains supply, not a garden HUB. Arrange installation by a suitably qualified electrician. A similar looking 12V fitting and mains fitting are not interchangeable.

A few useful starting points

SWAY WALL offers a softer surrounding glow, while MINI SCOPE CEILING gives a compact directed downlight. Browse SWAY PENDANT for hanging arrangements. Use the range and voltage filters to narrow the choice before comparing finishes.

Check the selected package before adding a base, light head or dimmer. Some pendant listings are supplied without a ceiling base; others are complete assemblies. Shutters and mounting plates must match the exact light and electrical version. A SMART HUB does not make every fitting dimmable.

To continue the same look through the garden, combine suitable wall lights with path and planting lights or spotlights. Plan where people will sit and walk so the light illuminates the space rather than shining into their eyes.

Match controls to the selected electrical version

Mains wall lights do not need a low voltage HUB. DISC WALL mains uses an appropriate separate LED dimmer where required; do not assume it has the same dimming arrangement as DISC PENDANT. SHUTTER 1 and SHUTTER 2 belong to different electrical versions of their supported wall lights.

A separate pendant head may need a base, while a complete assembly contains the parts described in its selected option. TOUCH DIMMER is for supported local 12V arrangements within its published limits, not for controlling an entire garden. Mains wiring should be installed by a suitably qualified person.

In-Lite Wall, Ceiling & Pendant Lighting Guide

Plan from the normal viewing positions

Check the proposed height and beam from the gate, driveway, seating position and important windows. A fitting that looks comfortable while standing beside it may cause glare when seen from a low chair or upstairs room. Mark mounting positions full-size before drilling a finished facade.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a downlight and an up-down wall light?

A downlight directs its main effect below the fitting for entrances and routes. An up-down light also throws light upwards, creating a more architectural pattern on the facade.

Should I choose a 12V or mains In-Lite wall light?

Choose 12V where the fitting should join the wider In-Lite low-voltage system. Choose a mains model only where the design and electrical installation call for it. They are not interchangeable power supplies.

Can a mains wall light connect to an In-Lite HUB?

No. Products marked 100–230V use a suitable mains supply and require the appropriate installation. A HUB supplies compatible low-voltage products.

Which wall light is best beside a door?

A controlled downlight or compact wall fitting usually works well, positioned to reveal the handle, threshold and approach without shining directly into the user’s eyes.

How high should an outdoor wall light be mounted?

Height depends on the fitting’s beam, the door or wall proportions and viewing positions. Use the installation guide and test the visual position on the actual elevation before drilling.

What are SHUTTER accessories used for?

They alter or limit the beam pattern on compatible wall lights, helping shape the effect or reduce unwanted spill. Match SHUTTER 1 or SHUTTER 2 to the documented fitting.

What is the FIT mounting plate?

FIT is a model-specific mounting accessory that can help achieve the intended installation on compatible wall lights. Check the compatibility list before ordering.

Can an In-Lite ceiling spotlight be used beneath a pergola?

Check the exact fitting’s instructions for the roof, weather exposure, clearances and power supply. Plan the cable entry and drainage before fixing it beneath a pergola.

Do pendant lights include a ceiling base?

Some pendants are sold without a base, allowing the compatible single or triple arrangement to be selected separately. Read the product title and Included Items carefully.

What is BASE TRIPLE used for?

It supports a compatible grouped pendant arrangement. Confirm the pendant, voltage and base combination before purchase.

Can the pendant height be adjusted?

Adjustment depends on the exact pendant and extension product. Use only the documented cable or extension configuration and follow the installation guide.

What does the TOUCH DIMMER work with?

It is designed for specified compatible 12V pendant and wall-light products. It is not a universal dimmer for every fitting in the catalogue.

How do I reduce glare from a wall light?

Choose a shielded beam, keep the light source outside common sightlines, use compatible shutters and avoid mounting directly opposite a main window or seat without testing.

Should all exterior wall lights match?

They should feel coordinated, but they do not have to be identical. Repeating a finish, circular or rectilinear form and colour temperature can unify different jobs.

Can wall lights share a circuit with garden spotlights?

Compatible 12V models can share a correctly sized In-Lite system. Mains-voltage wall lights remain on their appropriate mains installation.
