Zephyra LED Round Recessed Ground Light - 16W 3000K Silver IP67

The Zephyra is a 250mm round recessed ground light with an integrated 16W LED producing 3000K warm white light, housed in a steel body finished in silver. The IP67 rating provides full protection against dust ingress and immersion in water up to 1m depth, making the fitting suitable for ground installation in driveways, pathways, garden borders and outdoor steps where it may be exposed to heavy rain, snow melt or direct hosing.

Designed for recessed installation flush with the ground surface, the Zephyra sits level with paving, tarmac, gravel or decking once fitted, removing trip hazards and allowing mowers and vehicles to pass over the fitting without damage. The steel bezel sits proud by approximately 3-5mm to prevent debris filling the recess, while the tempered glass or polycarbonate lens protects the LED array inside. The 400mm cable tail allows connection to an outdoor-rated junction box positioned nearby in conduit or ducting.

The non-directional LED distributes light evenly in a wide flood pattern rather than a focused beam, providing general illumination across pathways or architectural features without creating harsh hotspots. The 3000K colour temperature produces warm white light that reduces glare in outdoor evening settings and pairs comfortably with incandescent-style garden lighting. The steel construction withstands foot traffic, wheeled vehicles and frost cycles, while the silver finish offers a neutral metallic appearance that blends with both contemporary paving and natural stone surrounds.

What does IP67 mean for outdoor ground lights?

IP67 means the fitting is fully dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water up to 1m depth for 30 minutes. In practical terms, the Zephyra can handle heavy rain, flooding, snow melt, direct hosing during cleaning, and installation in areas where water pooling occurs without water entering the electrical components.

Can vehicles drive over this ground light?

The steel construction is designed to withstand foot traffic and light vehicular loads such as domestic cars on driveways. For heavy commercial vehicles or repeated heavy loads, consult the installation manual for load-bearing limits and ensure the surrounding substrate provides adequate support.

How is it installed?

The Zephyra requires a recess cut into the ground surface to house the 235mm-deep body. The fitting sits flush with the finished surface level, with the steel bezel sitting slightly proud to prevent debris accumulation. The 400mm cable tail connects to an outdoor-rated junction box in conduit or ducting, positioned nearby below ground level. Professional installation by a qualified electrician is recommended.

Is the LED replaceable?

No. The LED is integrated into the fitting and is not user-replaceable. The LED is rated for approximately 30,000-50,000 hours of operation depending on ambient temperature and usage patterns, which equates to 10-15+ years at typical residential outdoor usage of 4-6 hours per evening.
