Built from weather-resistant composite materials with blue silicone O-ring seals at both entry points, the connector provides IP-rated protection against moisture ingress when correctly installed. The moulded black housing carries embossed \"MADE IN ITALY\" and \"IP\" markings visible in the image, confirming Ideal Lux manufacture and environmental rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe connector suits outdoor garden lighting projects where cable runs need to be joined or extended between spike-mounted or wall-mounted spotlights and mains supply. The screw-lock cable glands at each end secure the cable sheath and prevent water tracking along the conductor insulation. Installation requires stripping the cable jacket to expose conductors, inserting through the gland, connecting inside the chamber via screw terminals, then tightening the gland collars to compress the seals. The 25mm diameter housing provides sufficient internal space for standard 3-core outdoor lighting cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black composite finish blends into dark soil, mulch or paving when the connector is surface-mounted or partially buried as part of a garden lighting cable run. The ribbed grip sections on both glands allow hand-tightening without tools for the initial fit, though a final quarter-turn with an adjustable spanner ensures full seal compression. The connector is compatible with Ideal Lux Solarium spotlight ranges and other manufacturer outdoor lighting systems using comparable cable gauges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter (mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 Years\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat IP rating does this connector carry?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe housing is embossed with an IP marking, but the specific rating (IP65, IP67, IP68) is not confirmed in the available specification. Contact us for the exact IP rating before specifying for wet-location or burial applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat cable size does it accept?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 25mm housing diameter typically accommodates 3-core outdoor lighting cable between 0.75mm² and 1.5mm² conductor size. The screw-lock glands compress around the cable jacket to create the seal, so cable outer diameter must match the gland aperture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan it be buried underground?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the connector carries an IP67 or IP68 rating it can be used in buried applications, though best practice is to house any junction in an inspection chamber or leave accessible for maintenance. Confirm the IP rating before burying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it compatible with non-Ideal Lux systems?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, provided the cable gauge matches. The connector is a generic junction component and works with any outdoor lighting system using comparable 3-core cable. The Solarium branding indicates design compatibility with Ideal Lux ranges, but it is not electronically restricted to that brand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ideal Lux","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45733044617483,"sku":"248615","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/248615_WEB001_STARLIGHT_IP68_CONNECTOR_57f9e997-b356-47df-87b4-739f059fec26.jpg?v=1724725321","url":"https:\/\/niori.co.uk\/products\/solarium-outdoor-cable-connector-for-spotlight-black-25mm","provider":"Niori","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
