Roger LED12 1W Recessed In-Ground Light IP66 Cool White - Grey

The Roger LED12 is a recessed in-ground light that sits flush into paving, decking or a driveway and shines upward, so the fitting is walked or driven over while the beam grazes a wall, step or planting above it. It draws 1W at 220-240V AC and runs at a crisp 6000-6500K cool white, giving a clean, slightly blue-toned wash rather than a warm glow. Buyers in the US will recognise this format as an in-grade or well light, the low-profile uplighter set into the ground rather than staked above it.

Because it recesses into the surface, this fitting suits perimeter paths, patio edges, driveway borders and deck runs where a staked or surface light would be in the way. Rather than lighting a whole room, it works as a directional uplight: position it close to the base of a wall, post, tree or facade and let the upward beam pick out texture and height. Several units spaced along a path or boundary build a sequence of upward accents, so plan placement around the features worth grazing rather than around floor coverage.

Built from steel in a grey finish, the LED12 carries an IP66 rating for fully exposed, wet outdoor locations and an IK09 impact rating for the knocks of a trafficked surface. It measures Ø100 by 74 mm, weighs 280 g and recesses into a matching cut-out in the ground or deck. The fitting is not dimmable and the LED is integrated, with a rated life of around 20,000 hours. Other recessed and ground options sit alongside it in the Roger range for matched runs.

Can it be walked or driven over?

Yes. The Roger LED12 recesses flush into the ground or decking and is built to be walked over on a path or patio. Its IK09 impact rating and steel body handle foot traffic and the general knocks of a trafficked surface.

Is it suitable for fully exposed outdoor use?

Yes. The IP66 rating means it is weatherproof and rated for exposed outdoor and wet locations, including direct rain and washdown. It can sit in open paving or decking without the shelter a lower-rated fitting would need.

How is it installed in the ground?

It drops into a round cut-out sized to its Ø100 by 74 mm body and sits flush with the surface. Allow for drainage beneath the recess so water does not pool around the fitting, and feed the 220-240V AC supply to it through suitable buried cable.

Which way does the light shine?

It is an uplight, throwing its beam upward from ground level to graze a wall, post, tree or facade above. It is not designed to light a room or wide area evenly, so aim it at a specific vertical feature for the best effect.
