LED Inground Lights: Complete Specification Guide
Comlite manufactures LED inground lights — also called LED ground lights, underground lights or recessed uplights — for pathways, plazas, decks, facades and landscape schemes. Our range covers high power and low power models, COB and SMD light sources, adjustable beam angles and stainless steel covers rated for drive-over applications.
Inground lights are specified more often than almost any other landscape fitting, and they fail more often too. The reason is simple: a light set into the ground sits in standing water, carries foot or vehicle load, and cannot be serviced without breaking the surface. This page covers the four specification decisions that determine whether an inground installation lasts three seasons or fifteen years.
IP67 vs IP68 for Inground Lights
The right rating depends on how much water the fitting will actually sit in.
- IP67 防护等级 — 防临时浸入至 1 米. Appropriate for most landscape inground lights in well-drained ground.
- 防护等级 IP68 — 防连续浸入超过 1 米. Specify this where water pools: poor drainage, irrigation-heavy schemes, pond edges, or any location that floods seasonally.
Our standard inground range is IP67. For pond edges, water features and poorly drained sites, 使用 our IP68 underwater range instead — the same engineering, rated for permanent submersion.
High Power vs Low Power: Choosing Output
This is where most specifications go wrong, and usually in the same direction.
Under-specifying leaves a scheme that looks impressive on paper and invisible at night — a 1W marker light will not uplight a mature tree. Over-specifying creates glare, washes out the architecture and multiplies both cost and heat load.
- 1-3W — marker and wayfinding lights along paths and steps
- 3-6W — general pathway and deck lighting, low-level planting
- 6-12W — uplighting for small trees, walls and signage
- 12W+ — large trees, building facades, statement columns

COB vs SMD Light Source
COB (chip-on-board) packs many LED dies into a single emitting surface, producing one intense, even beam with no visible dots. It is the better choice for uplighting where beam quality and uniformity matter, and it generally delivers higher output per fitting.
贴片 (surface-mounted device) uses discrete LED packages. Output per fitting is lower, but SMD gives more flexibility in beam distribution and colour mixing, and runs cooler — which matters in enclosed inground housings where heat has nowhere to go.
Both are available across our range. Browse COB LED inground lights.
Fixed vs Adjustable Beam
A fixed-beam inground light is simpler, better sealed and usually cheaper. It is the right default when the fitting position and the target are both known at design stage.
An adjustable-beam fitting lets the installer aim the light after installation, which is genuinely useful for uplighting trees that grow, sculptures whose final position changes, or schemes commissioned on site. The trade-off is one more moving part in the sealing path. Our adjustable beam inground lights are designed to hold their aim without compromising the gasket.
负载等级和盖板材料
车道中的埋地灯是一种结构组件, 不仅仅是灯具. 两件事情很重要:
- 盖板材料. 316 沿海和除冰盐环境使用不锈钢; 304 大多数内陆方案使用不锈钢或钢化玻璃.
- 负载等级. 行人等级的灯具在车辆荷载下会开裂. 如果有汽车驶过, 必须指定为可承受车辆碾压——检查静态负载标注，单位为公斤或千牛.
防止大多数故障的安装注意事项
- 始终使用排水坑. 灯具底座下的碎石可让水排走，而不是在灯具周围积水.
- 使用合适的电缆密封接头, 仅使用硅胶是不够的. 毛细作用会沿电缆将水吸入灯具内部.
- 安装防护等级(IP)接线盒, 不要使用埋地连接器. Most inground lighting failures happen at the connection, not the fitting.
- 不要在没有套管的情况下将配件埋入混凝土中. 你再也取不出来了.

常见问题
埋地灯需要IP67还是IP68?
对于排水良好的景观安装，IP67就足够了. 在积水区域指定IP68 — 排水不好时, 大范围灌溉, 池塘边缘或季节性洪水地带.
给树木做上光灯需要多大功率?
作为起点, 6-12小树和植物使用W瓦特, 成熟树木和建筑立面使用12W或以上. 树冠密度和安装距离都会影响这一点, 所以在全面铺设前先在现场测试.
埋地灯可以让车辆碾过吗?
只有被指定为可碾压的才能. 行人等级的灯具在车辆荷载下会开裂. 在将任何埋地灯放置在车道之前检查标注的静载荷等级.
埋地灯用COB还是SMD?
COB 提供单一均匀光束，每个灯具的输出更高 —— 更适合建筑顶部照明. SMD 发热更低，并提供更灵活的光束分布和颜色混合 —— 更适合封闭灯壳和装饰方案.
