Description

The Polar is a 135mm recessed ground light built from high-performance resin, designed to sit flush with paving, decking or gravel in outdoor pathways, patios and garden borders. The circular grey body houses a single GX53 bulb behind a clear resin diffuser, directing light upwards or outwards depending on the bulb angle. The IP66 rating provides full protection against dust ingress and high-pressure water jets, making the fitting suitable for areas exposed to rain, hose-washing or poolside spray.

Designed for recessed installation, the Polar requires a cut-out in the mounting surface and a minimum recess depth to accommodate the lamp holder and wiring. Once installed, the grey bezel sits level with the surface, reducing trip hazards and providing a clean profile that integrates into modern and industrial garden schemes. The fitting is dimmable when paired with a compatible GX53 LED bulb and a mains dimmer or smart control system.

The grey finish is UV-stabilised to resist colour fade under prolonged sun exposure, maintaining its appearance across seasons. The resin construction is chemically resistant to garden fertilisers, pool chemicals and salt spray, and the material tolerates temperature extremes from -60°C to +90°C without cracking or warping. The round profile and low-profile installation make the Polar suitable for pathway edge lighting, driveway markers, patio borders and step illumination where subtle ground-level light is needed without visual clutter.

Frequently Asked

What bulb does the Polar take?

The fitting takes a GX53 bulb (sold separately). Most users pair this with a GX53 LED between 5-9W and 3000K-4000K for pathway and patio applications. The bulb must be IP-rated if the diffuser will be exposed to direct water.

Can it be walked on?

The Polar is designed to sit flush with paths and patios, but it is not rated for vehicular loading. It can withstand pedestrian foot traffic when correctly installed and the surface material provides adequate support around the bezel.

What installation depth is required?

The fitting requires a recess depth sufficient to house the GX53 lamp holder and wiring connections. Typically this is 60-80mm depending on the bulb length and connection method. Installation instructions are included with the product.

Is it suitable for poolside use?

Yes. The IP66 rating and chemical-resistant resin construction make the Polar suitable for poolside installation where it may be exposed to chlorinated water, cleaning chemicals and hose spray. Ensure wiring complies with local electrical codes for wet locations.
