Accent light. Want to highlight a tree or object? You couldn't ask for anything better than 12v LED ground spots. Because the object is illuminated from bottom to top, you create a sense of height in the garden. For accent lighting, choose an LED lamp with a high light intensity.
Direct light. 12-volt LED ground spots are exceptionally well-suited as functional garden lighting. For example, for illuminating a driveway or garden path.
Indirect light. Indirect lighting adds romance to your garden. Your garden will appear visually larger when you shine the lights of 12-volt LED ground spots against the bottom of a staircase or along a garden border wall. This spatial effect can be especially useful in a small garden.
Diffuse light. Ground spots that emit diffuse light are equipped with a cover or a special lens over the LED lamp. This disperses the light evenly, creating soft shadow formation.
How do you install 12V LED outdoor ground spots?
The description below applies to all types of 12-volt garden lighting, including, for example, 12-volt wall lights. Depending on the type of ground spotlight you purchase, each item includes an instruction manual detailing the diameter you need to saw out in a decking board or the space you need to create in a paved surface. You can also install the fixtures of a ground spotlight in a decorative element or place them in a holder with a ground spike, transforming them into a so-called spike spotlight.
Step 1. If you have purchased a complete set, unpack it with care. If the cables become tangled immediately, they may be damaged.
Step 2. Give the transformer a fixed location near a power outlet where it is dry and out of the way.
Step 3. Unroll the cables to the locations where you planned the ground spotlights.
Step 4. Place the ground spot fixtures in or on the surface where you want them, but do not screw them down yet.
Step 5. Connect the cables to each other and finally hook everything up to the transformer.
Step 6. Plug the transformer into the socket and test the lights.
Step 7. Once everything is working, you can secure the ground spots in their final positions. If one or more lights do not turn on, check whether all 12 Volt accessories are properly connected.
Step 8. Conceal the cables. Route them along the edges wherever possible to minimize the risk of hitting a cable while gardening.
