Collingwood GL019 1W Mini LED Frosted Ground Light - Black - Low Voltage

A Soft Circle of Light You Can Walk Straight Over

The GL019 Mini is a recessed ground light built to sit flush in a path, patio or driveway and take foot traffic without a second thought. This is the frosted lens version, so instead of a defined beam you get a gentle, even glow with no hotspot or glare underfoot. It's a quiet way to mark an edge, a step or a route through the garden after dark.

Finished in Black, with a Frosted Lens

The body is stainless steel with a black finish, so it settles into paving or decking rather than standing out against it. The frosted lens softens the light source itself, which suits a subtle marker light better than a clear lens designed to throw a sharper beam. At just 40mm across and 41mm deep, with a 33mm cutout, it's small enough to fit into a narrow paving joint or a step edge without much disruption.

How It Works

• Runs as a 1W LED with CRI80 colour rendering, available in 2700K, 3000K or 4000K.
• Being low voltage, it needs a separate driver rather than running straight off the mains.
• Wired in series, so several GL019 units can run from a single driver along one path or border.
• Dimmable when paired with a suitable driver.
• Class III construction, and rated IK07 for impact resistance.

Where It Works Best

This is a path and patio light first: use it to mark steps, edges, driveways or a route across decking where you want gentle definition rather than a bright pool of light. Rated IP68, it's protected against continuous immersion rather than just splashes, so it also holds up in ground that gets properly wet, including a spot near a pond or water feature. That same IP68 rating means it's also robust enough for a wetroom or bathroom floor if you want walk over lighting there, though it's worth checking which zone applies to your room first. Our guide to bathroom lighting zones covers that.

Collingwood Lighting

Collingwood Lighting designs and manufactures its LED products from Sywell in Northamptonshire, and has specialised in LED technology since 2002. A genuinely walk over rated, IP68 sealed fitting like this one is the kind of product the brand points to when it says it was among the first to bring fully sealed, waterproof for life LED lighting to the UK electrical wholesale market. Collingwood has also been awarded a Gold medal by EcoVadis, placing it in the top 5% of companies assessed globally for sustainability.

Good to Know

• IP68 rated and IK07 impact resistant, genuinely walk over rated rather than just splash proof.
• Low voltage, Class III, and wired in series, so it needs a separate driver rather than a mains connection at the fitting itself.
• Dimmable with a suitable driver.
• Available in 2700K, 3000K or 4000K, with CRI80 colour rendering.
• 40mm diameter x 41mm depth, with a 33mm cutout.

• Comes with a 7 year warranty from Collingwood.
• As the driver connects to the mains even though the fitting itself is low voltage, Moonlight Design recommends installation by a registered NICEIC electrician.

Questions People Ask

Can I actually walk on this light?
Yes. It's genuinely walk over rated and IK07 impact resistant, built to take regular foot traffic once it's set into a path or patio.

Does it need a separate driver?
Yes. It's a low voltage fitting, so it needs its own driver rather than running straight off the mains, and it's wired in series so several units can share one driver.

What colour temperatures are available?
2700K, 3000K or 4000K, all with CRI80 colour rendering.

Is it dimmable?
Yes, when it's paired with a suitable driver.

What size hole do I need to cut?
A 33mm cutout, with the fitting itself measuring 40mm in diameter and 41mm deep.

Can it go somewhere that gets properly wet, like near a pond?
Yes. At IP68 it's rated for continuous immersion, not just splashes, so it copes with wet ground and locations near water features as well as ordinary paths and patios.
