Collingwood GL038 SPS LED Ground Light - Antique Brass - Straight to Mains

A Ground Light That Vanishes Into the Paving

The GL038 sits flush with the ground and lets a single point of light do the work, without drawing attention to the fitting itself. It wires straight to your mains supply, so there is no separate driver to source or hide away.

Antique Brass, Built to Handle Being Walked On

This version pairs a stainless steel 316 top with an aluminium body, finished in antique brass. Left to age gracefully outdoors, the brass tone works well against stone, gravel or decking, and the top plate is built to take foot traffic rather than sit purely as decoration at the edge of a path.

How It Works

• Connects directly to your mains circuit on a parallel wiring run, with no LED driver required.
• A single LED and lens combination gives a focused 40 degree beam.
• Available with either a 2700K or 3000K light source, both rated at 2.9W with a CRI of 80.
• The fitting is not dimmable, so it runs at a fixed output once wired in.

Where It Works Best

Rated IP65 and IK08, and built to be walked over once installed, the GL038 suits paths, patios and driveways as well as flower bed edges and lawn borders. It also sits within Collingwood's coastal rated range, making it a sound choice for gardens exposed to salt air near the coast as well as more sheltered inland plots.
