Collingwood GL040 Ultra Low Glare 2W LED Ground Light - Stainless Steel - Low Voltage

A Ground Light Built to Disappear

The GL040 sits flush in paving, decking or a lawn edge and throws light upward without drawing attention to itself. The LED sits recessed further back in the housing than a standard ground light, an ultra low glare design that gives a strong wash of light up a wall or column without a bright point staring back at you.

Marine Grade Stainless Steel

The body and bezel are made from 316 stainless steel, the marine grade used where fittings need to survive damp ground, salt air and years outdoors without corroding. The Collingwood name and logo are engraved into the brushed metal ring around the lens, a detail that shows on close inspection rather than shouting for attention.

How It Works

• 2W LED with a CRI of 80, available in 2700K, 3000K or 4000K
• Choose a 12° beam for a tighter spot or a 34° beam for a wider wash
• Low voltage, Class III, and needs a separate driver, sold apart from the fitting and wired in series
• Dimmable when paired with a suitable driver
• 76mm diameter by 83mm deep, with a 70mm cut out

Where It Works Best

This is a light for gardens, paths, patios and decking, anywhere you want an uplight set into the ground rather than mounted on a post or wall. Because it's rated IP68 for submersion to 9 metres, it also works around ponds, fountains and water features where a standard outdoor fitting wouldn't cope. The IK08 impact rating means it's built to be walked over, so it suits a path or driveway edge as much as a flower bed.

It's also rated for bathroom zone 1, so it's a genuine option for wet room and bathroom floor lighting where fittings sit close to water. If you're planning a bathroom scheme, our guide to bathroom lighting zones and regulations explains what's allowed where.

About Collingwood Lighting

Collingwood Lighting designs and builds its LED products from Sywell in Northamptonshire, and has specialised in LED technology since 2002. The brand states it was among the first to bring fully sealed, waterproof for life LED fittings to the UK electrical wholesale market, a claim that lines up with a fitting built to survive nine metres of water. Collingwood has also been awarded an EcoVadis Gold medal, placing it in the top 5% of companies assessed globally for sustainability.
