Luzes de fundo (also called recessed ground lights or buried lights) are essential for modern outdoor lighting designs. These fixtures blend seamlessly into landscapes while providing functional and aesthetic illumination for pathways, architectural features, and public spaces. Below, we break down their types, technical specifications, and selection strategies for contractors and designers.

10 Types of Inground Lights &; Their Uses

Imagem	Modelo	Key Features	Best Applications
	Adjustable Beam	15°-60° directional adjustment	Highlighting walls, sculptures, trees
	Ultra-Thin	1.2” installation depth	Shallow concrete slabs, narrow spaces
	Square Cover	Matches tile layouts	Modern plazas, geometric landscapes
	Side-Emitting	Horizontal glare-free light	Calçadas, ADA-compliant pathways
	Frameless	Seamless 316 stainless steel finish	Luxury resorts, minimalist architectures
	Frosted Glass	Soft diffused glow (60° beam)	Gardens, park trails
	Asymmetrical Beam	75% glare reduction	Building facades, signage illumination
	Curved Linear	30° bend radius design	Circular gardens, round structures
	Long Linear	Up to 48” continuous lighting	Staircases, bridge edges
	Standard Circular	Budget-friendly IP68 option	General landscape lighting

5 Critical Factors When Selecting Inground Lights

1. Waterproof Performance (Classificação de IP)

• Minimum Standard: IP67 (submersion up to 1m for 30 minutes)
• Harsh Environments: Opt for IP68 or IP69K with pressure-equalization vents
• Material Pairing:
  • Habitação: Marine-grade stainless steel (Modelo 316)
  • Seals: Dual-layer silicone + EPDM
  • Glass: 12mm tempered with anti-fog coating

2. Beam Angle &; Light Distribution

3. Load-Bearing Capacity

• Pedestrian Areas: 1000+ lbs/sq.in (e.g., parques, walkways)
• Vehicular Zones: 2500+ lbs/sq.in (reinforced models required)

4. Installation Depth

• Ultra-thin models: 1.2”-2” depth
• Standard models: 3”-6” depth
• Always add 20% extra depth for gravel drainage base

5. Anti-Glare Features

• Frosted glass covers
• Asymmetrical optics
• Recessed LED modules

Step-by-Step Installation Best Practices

Pre-Installation Prep

1. Drainage Layer: 4” gravel base under fixtures
2. Slope Grading: 2% slope away from lights
3. Cable Management:
   • Use IP68 gel-filled connectors
   • Create drip loops below junction boxes

Installation Process

1. Excavate to required depth + gravel buffer
2. Secure fixture with UV-resistant epoxy
3. Connect wiring using waterproof connectors
4. Test for leaks (submerge for 24 horas)

Maintenance Checklist

• Monthly: Clean glass with non-abrasive solution
• Annually: Check seal compression (≥0.6mm)
• Biannually: Inspect drainage channels
