In-Lite Wall & Ceiling Lights

In-Lite Wall & Ceiling Lights

Architectural light for entrances, terraces, facades and outdoor rooms

Wall and ceiling lights need to work in both directions: they should create the intended effect on the building while remaining comfortable for anyone approaching, sitting or looking out from indoors. This category includes compact downward lights, up-down facade lights, ceiling spotlights and pendant families for covered outdoor areas.

Check the power source before ordering

The range contains both 12V system fittings and selected 100–230V mains-powered versions. A 12V product connects into a compatible In-Lite transformer and cable plan; a mains version does not. Filter by Power Source and read the product title and technical table carefully. Mains-voltage installation should be completed by a suitably qualified person.

• Entrances and steps: choose controlled downward light that makes the threshold readable.
• Facade emphasis: up-down fittings can create vertical rhythm and reveal texture.
• Covered terraces: ceiling or pendant light can illuminate tables and circulation areas from above.
• Narrow walls: compact WEDGE or MINI WEDGE families can provide a discreet footprint.
• Glare control: SHUTTER, FIT, base and touch-dimmer accessories are product-specific; check compatibility.

Coordinate with the rest of the garden

Wall lighting is most effective when it supports rather than overwhelms the landscape. Match its colour temperature to nearby path lights and use spotlights or recessed lights to carry the view into the garden. This prevents the house wall becoming the only bright surface after dark.

Confirm cable entry, mounting surface, fixing points and finished wall build-up before construction. A beautiful fitting cannot correct a poorly placed supply cable.

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?

Potentially, where the product’s installation conditions, IP rating, clearances and supply are suitable for the structure. Confirm the current instructions and how water drains from the roof.

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.
