Round IP68 62mm 12V 24V 3W Decorative Underground LED Light ILED-IG3

The ILED-IG3 is a round, decorative in-ground light that you set into the ground, where it throws a tight beam of light. The point of it is that you choose where the light lands. It can shine straight up, or out through one, two or four sides of the body, which makes it the pick for a garden, a path or a low wall where you want to aim the light rather than just have it point up.

Tech specs at a glance

The light is a 62mm round body at 1 to 3W, and it puts out 85 to 90 lumen per watt through a 30 degree beam. It is available as a white from 2800K to 6500K, or as red, green or blue. The body is 304 stainless steel with a tempered glass top, sealed to IP67 or IP68, and it runs on 12V or 24V, DC or AC. It is certified to CE and RoHS, with a 2 year warranty.

Four ways the light comes out

The range is built around the direction of the light. The plain ILED-IG3 shines up, in the direct style. The ILED-IG3 A lights out through one side. The ILED-IG3 B lights out through two sides, and the ILED-IG3 D lights out through four sides. All four share the same 62mm body, the same 1 to 3W range and the same 56mm cut hole, so the only thing you choose is where the light goes.

Where the side light is useful

The side-lighting options are the point of the range. A one-side version sits against a low wall or a border and lights one face. A two-side version sits in the middle of a path and lights both edges at once. A four-side version lights out in all directions, which suits a light on a flat plaza or a lawn where you want the glow to spread around it. Choose the sides to match the spot it sits in.

IP67 or IP68

The seal is IP67 or IP68, so it handles not just rain but standing water, which is the point of a buried light. The IP68 version is for a low, wet spot that holds water, and the IP67 version is enough for a normal ground level.

White and colour

The light is available as a white, from 2800K to 6500K, or as red, green or blue. A warm white is the everyday pick for a home garden or a path, a cooler white reads brighter for a public walkway, and the red, green and blue are for a decorative line that should read as a colour. Pick the one that suits the site.

Build and materials

The body is 304 stainless steel around a tempered glass top, which keeps it solid in the ground where water and foot traffic are both on it. The stainless steel resists the corrosion a buried fixture gets, and the tempered glass spreads the light and holds the lens.

What is in the box

Each unit ships as a single in-ground light, with the stainless steel body, the tempered glass top and the cable for the supply. You choose the light direction, the size within the 1 to 3W range and the light colour when you order it, and you set it into the ground where you want it.

What you need to supply

You will need to wire it to a 12V or 24V supply, DC or AC to match the version you ordered, and set it into the ground on a solid base. Because it sits in the ground, you will run the cable back to the supply and keep the connection dry, and you will cut the 56mm hole in the surface it sits on.

Where it gets used

As a decorative in-ground light it shows up on garden paths and borders, along a driveway edge, on a low wall and in a plaza or a public walkway. The side-lighting options make it the pick where you want the light to aim at a wall or a border rather than just point up, and the stainless steel build is the reason it is used where it will get water and foot traffic.

Reliability and thermal

It draws only 1 to 3W, so it is a small, efficient accent that stays cool. The 304 stainless steel body keeps it solid in the ground where water and foot traffic are on it, and the IP67 or IP68 seal keeps the weather out, so it is built to stay in the ground for years. It is certified to CE and RoHS, with a 2 year warranty.

Here is what installers tell us they like about the ILED-IG3:

You aim the light. It comes in direct-up, one-side, two-side and four-side versions, so you choose where the light lands instead of having it just point up. That is the reason it is picked for a border or a low wall.

Built to sit in the ground. The IP67 or IP68 seal and the 304 stainless steel body are made for a buried install, so it holds up to the water and the foot traffic that come over it.

A compact, efficient accent. At 1 to 3W on a 62mm body it is small and easy to power, which suits a run of them along a path or a border without a big load on the supply.

White or colour. It runs a 2800K to 6500K white for a steady path, or red, green or blue for a decorative line that should read as a colour.

Easy to set. The 56mm cut hole is the same across the versions, so you cut the surface to one size and drop the light in, which keeps the install simple.

A decorative in-ground light with side lighting like this one is used where you want to aim the light rather than just point it up:

Garden paths and borders. A one-side version sits against a low border or a garden edge and lights that face, so the planting or the wall above reads at night.

Walkways. A two-side version in the middle of a path lights both edges at once, which is the classic walkway accent, and a four-side version lights out around it on a flat plaza.

Low walls and feature walls. A one- or two-side version set at the base of a low wall throws light up the face of it, which is a clean way to bring out a feature without a wall bracket.

Plazas and public grounds. The four-side version, sealed to IP67 or IP68, is the pick for a public walkway, where the light spreads around it and the stainless steel build stands up to the foot traffic.

Driveway and step edges. Set into the edge of a driveway or a step, it marks the line at night with a small, focused accent that stays low and useful.

A few things to check before you set it in the ground:

Pick the light direction. Choose the direct, one-side, two-side or four-side version to suit the spot, because that is where the light lands. A border takes one side, a path takes two, and an open plaza takes four.

Match the voltage. It runs on 12V or 24V, DC or AC, so order the version for the supply you are running. Feeding it the wrong version will not run it correctly.

Know the IP rating for the spot. IP67 is enough for a normal ground level, and IP68 is the one for a low, wet spot that holds water, so pick the seal for where it will sit.

Cut the hole to 56mm. All four versions share the same 56mm cut hole, so cut the surface to that size and set the light in on a solid base, keeping the connection dry.

Pick the light for the site. Choose the white or the colour to suit the space, keeping it consistent along a run, and keep the 30 degree beam in mind for how far the light reaches.
