Gleamora LED Outdoor Drive Over Recessed Ground Light 2W 4000K - Grey, 40°

The Gleamora is a 55mm diameter recessed ground light built for drive-over installation, housing a 2W integrated LED that casts a 4000K cool white beam at a 40° angle. The fitting comprises a grey metal housing with a transparent tempered glass lens, the whole assembly rated IP68 for submersion protection and sealed against both dust and water ingress.

Designed for driveways, pathways and patio edges where vehicles cross or park, the Gleamora sits flush with the ground surface once recessed into paving, concrete or resin-bound gravel. The compact 55mm diameter allows the fitting to be installed between standard brick or slab joints without cutting, and the IP68 rating means the fitting can handle puddling water, pressure washing and temporary submersion during heavy rain without internal water damage.

The 2W LED produces approximately 150-180 lumens output at 4000K, which delivers a crisp neutral white light that works well for guiding pathways and marking driveway edges without creating warm tones that might clash with architectural lighting on the building facade. The 40° beam angle gives focused downward light rather than wide flood, so each fitting illuminates a defined spot on the ground approximately 300-400mm in diameter when installed at ground level. The grey metal housing blends with concrete and grey paving during daylight, and the screwless top surface resists dirt accumulation in recesses.

Ideal Lux supplies the Gleamora with a 5-year warranty, reflecting the sealed construction and LED lifespan expectation. The fitting is non-dimmable and runs on 230V mains supply, requiring a suitable IP-rated outdoor driver or junction box connection during installation.

Can this withstand vehicle weight?

Yes. The Gleamora is rated for drive-over installation and can withstand the weight of standard domestic vehicles when correctly installed flush with a stable paving or concrete surface. The tempered glass lens and sealed metal housing are designed for this loading.

What does IP68 mean in practical terms?

IP68 is the highest standard ingress protection rating for dust and water. The fitting is completely dust-tight and can handle continuous submersion in water beyond 1m depth. For ground lighting this means it survives puddling, heavy rain, pressure washing and temporary flooding without internal damage.

What installation depth is needed?

The Gleamora requires a recessed installation pocket in the ground surface. The exact depth depends on the housing dimension (typically 70-90mm for this style of fitting), plus clearance below for the cable entry. A qualified electrician should handle installation to ensure correct IP rating is maintained at the cable connection point.

Is the 4000K colour temperature suitable for residential driveways?

4000K is a cool white that appears neutral to slightly blue-white compared to warm 2700-3000K domestic lighting. It works well for functional pathway and driveway marking where clarity and visibility matter more than creating a warm ambience. If you prefer a warmer tone to match traditional outdoor lighting, consider a 3000K alternative if available in this range.
