Berg 7W (7O) In-Ground Uplighter IP67 GU10 Ø130 - Steel

The Berg 7W (7O) is a recessed in-ground light that sits flush with the surface and shines upward, grazing a wall, tree or facade above it. It takes a single GU10 PAR16 lamp drawing up to 7W and runs on a 220-240V AC supply, so it wires into mains without a separate transformer. The round head measures Ø130mm and recesses fully into the ground, paving or decking, which is the format American buyers know as a well light or in-grade fitting. Rather than projecting a wide wash, it throws a focused upward beam to pick out vertical features after dark.

Set the Berg into a driveway, path edge, patio or decking run where a raised fitting would be in the way. Because it sits level with the surface it can be walked over comfortably, and the IK10 housing gives it the impact strength to take regular foot traffic and garden use. The upward throw suits lighting the base of a wall, a tree trunk or a planted border, so position it close to the feature you want to graze rather than spacing units for broad coverage. Plan the recess so surface water drains away from the lamp compartment and check the cut-out depth against the 164mm body before you set it.

The body combines aluminium alloy and plastic with a stainless steel face, chosen to resist corrosion where the fitting is buried and exposed to standing water. It carries an IP67 rating, so it is sealed against dust and temporary immersion and is fully suited to exposed outdoor and wet locations. The GU10 lamp is replaceable, letting you set the colour temperature and output to suit the scheme. The complete weight is 836g. This range also includes higher-wattage Berg ground fittings if you need a stronger upward beam from the same recessed format.

Can the Berg be walked or driven over?

It is designed to recess flush into the ground and carries an IK10 impact rating, so it withstands regular foot traffic and garden use. Set it level with the surface in a firm, well-drained recess. For repeated vehicle loading, confirm the substrate and bedding can carry the weight at the point of installation.

Is it suitable for exposed outdoor and wet locations?

Yes. The Berg is rated IP67, meaning it is sealed against dust and protected against temporary immersion in water. That makes it suitable for burial, standing water and fully exposed positions such as driveways, paths and decking.

Does it need a transformer or driver?

No. The Berg runs directly from a 220-240V AC mains supply, so no low-voltage transformer is required. It takes a standard GU10 PAR16 lamp up to 7W, which screws the wiring straight into your mains circuit.

How do I clean and maintain it?

Wipe the stainless steel face and lens with a damp cloth to clear soil, leaf debris and water marks, avoiding abrasive pads that could scratch the surface. Keep the recess and any drainage clear so water does not pool around the lamp compartment. Isolate the supply before lifting the fitting to replace the GU10 lamp.
