As ground lighting is so versatile, it can be tricky to choose the right ones for you. At Lighting R Us, we offer decking and patio lights, as well as driveover lights in many styles and IP ratings. Ensuring we can find the best one to fit your purpose. Whether that be in your decking, patio, driveway, in ponds and pools or anywhere else in your garden. With all ground lighting, we recommend using an LED bulb, or an LED integrated fitting. This is because LEDs don’t heat up like regular bulbs, so they create a safety element.

Decking Lights

If you are looking to install decking lights, you could perhaps start with our IP44 rated ground lighting. This will give protection from tools and small wires greater than 1 millimeter, as well as water spray from any direction. These will ensure to light your decking like a dream. However, lights with an IP44 rating doesn’t mean dust protection. So it may not be suitable for dusty paths.

Patio Lights

Patios are a different material to decking, therefore may require a different IP rating. Also, we tend to walk over patio lights, making them more exposed to heavy objects and dust. For patio lights we would recommend choosing ground lighting with an IP65 rating or above.

Driveway & Driveover Lights

Please note that you cannot use all types of ground lighting for use on driveways, because they cannot withstand the weight and pressure. For driveway and drive over ground lighting, we recommend an IP rating no less than 68. IP68 offers tight protection from dust, as well as underwater pressure for long periods.

Ground Lighting for Ponds and Pools

If you want to make your pond and pools stand out a little extra, ground lighting is the perfect option. For this use we recommend an IP rating of 67 or 68. An IP67 rating means your lights are totally protected from dust. As well as the effects of immersion between 15cm and 1m. Lights that come with an IP68 rating are totally protected against dust and long periods of immersion under pressure. Therefore they are also suitable to be installed in a swimming pool.

As you can see, our impressive range of ground lighting comes with great style and durability. Making them the perfect option for your outdoor lighting needs. They bring your garden to life and keep it looking warm and welcoming all year round. However, you can also use outdoor ground lights, inside! Adding warmth and depth to your stairs, plinths and cabinets.

We understand ground lighting can be confusing, so our friendly team of lighting experts and electrical experts are always happy to help with any questions you may have. For safety reasons, we recommend that an electrician must install any lights used in wet areas.
