Sublume Outdoor Ground Light | Recessed Path and Driveway Uplight For Gardens, Trees and Borders

A ground light does the one thing a wall or stake light cannot: it disappears. The fixture sits flush with the surface, so during the day there is nothing standing up out of the paving or the border, and at night what you see is the light on whatever it is pointed at rather than the fitting producing it.

That makes it the right choice for uplighting. Aim it at a tree trunk, a rendered wall, a hedge, or a column and the effect is a wash of light climbing the surface from below, which is what gives a garden depth after dark instead of flat pools on the ground. Set into a driveway or a path it marks the route with nothing to trip over or catch a mower on. Set it back a little from the base of whatever it lights, since a fitting placed hard against a wall throws a narrow stripe rather than a wash.

It needs a recess in the surface, so plan the position before laying paving or decking if you can, since retrofitting means cutting. Keep the lens clear of leaf litter and soil wash, which is the usual reason a ground light dims over a season. Electrical installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician in line with local wiring regulations. Buy it now.
