FAQs

How to Space LED Ground Lights

For LED ground lights, spacing depends on the effect you want and
the size of the area. For pathways and driveways, lights are typically spaced 1–2
metres apart
to create an even, guiding line of illumination. For wall‑washing
or highlighting features, spacing may be wider, around 2–3 metres,
depending on beam angle and brightness. Closer spacing gives a more continuous
glow, while wider gaps create distinct pools of light. Correct spacing ensures in
ground lights provide safe, attractive and well‑balanced outdoor lighting.

Are There Any Wiring Regulations I Need to Follow When Installing

Yes — installing outdoor ground lights in the UK must follow the
requirements of BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations). Outdoor lighting
circuits should use suitable armoured cabling (SWA) or appropriately
protected conduit to prevent damage from soil, moisture and garden tools. All
underground cable routes should be buried at a safe depth and clearly marked.
Connections must be made in weatherproof, maintenance‑free junction boxes
designed for external use. Any outdoor electrical installation should be tested
and certified by a qualified electrician to ensure full compliance and
long‑term safety.

What IP Rating Do I Need to Use

For recessed ground lights, choosing the right IP rating ensures
long‑term safety and durability outdoors. Because these fittings sit at ground
level and are exposed to rain, cleaning, and standing water, a minimum IP67
rating is recommended. This protects the light against dust and allows it to
withstand temporary immersion, which is essential for driveways, pathways and
garden installations. Higher‑traffic or water‑prone areas may benefit from even
more robust protection. Selecting the correct IP rating helps ground lights
perform reliably in all weather conditions.

Can I Use These Lights to Uplight a Wall

Yes — in ground lights can be used to uplight a wall effectively,
creating a dramatic wash of light across brick, stone or architectural
features. To achieve an even effect, choose fittings with a suitable beam angle
and position them a short distance from the wall so the light spreads upward
without harsh hotspots. Wider beams give a softer glow, while narrower beams
create stronger accents. When installed correctly, outdoor ground lights
provide striking, low‑level illumination that enhances outdoor walls and garden
structures.

How Do I Prevent Glare When Using Ground Lights

To reduce glare from recessed ground lights, focus on choosing the
right beam angle and positioning. Wider beams create a softer, more diffused
glow, while narrow beams can cause harsh hotspots if aimed directly upward.
Position the lights slightly away from walkways or seating areas so the light
doesn’t shine straight into the eyes. Opting for fittings with frosted
lenses
, louvers, or recessed designs also helps soften the
output. With the right setup, LED ground lights provide attractive, comfortable
illumination without unwanted glare.
