Gorbora Ground Light - Stainless Steel

The Gorbora is a round ground light that sits flush with the surface, its brushed stainless steel ring framing a frosted white diffuser. It measures 17cm across, and the housing beneath the ring needs a recess 28.5cm deep, so plan the hole before you buy. It takes an E27 bulb of up to 16W, which you choose yourself, as the bulb is not included. With an IP67 rating it is sealed against dust and protected against temporary immersion in water, so it can live outdoors in a garden bed, a gravel path or a lawn edge and carry on through rain and puddles.

Ground lights do their best work low down: picking out a shrub, marking the edge of a path or guiding guests across a patio after dark. Because it takes a load of up to 500kg, it can go where people walk, so there is no need to tuck it away behind the planting. We think it suits gardeners who want a tidy, low line of light among gravel and grasses, and anyone who wants to follow a path at night without tall posts cluttering the view. The brushed steel ring looks at home beside stone, paving and lawn alike.

The body and ring are stainless steel, and stainless steel resists rust, which counts for a light that spends its life in the ground. Five screws hold the ring in place, and a black housing sits beneath it. There is no switch on the light itself, as it is switched at the wall. It runs on mains power at 220 to 240 volts, 50 or 60Hz, and is installed by a qualified electrician. The installation instructions come as a download, and the packed weight is 1.068KG. Buy an E27 bulb of no more than 16W before the electrician arrives, and the light is ready from the first evening.
