If we see a potential partnership opportunity, then we would be more than happy to get you in direct contact with our B2B team at in-lite so they can get you set up to carry and distribute in-lite systems and fixtures.

Although you can set your transformer to manual, it is not necessary. in-lite transformers are equipped with a light sensor that automatically switches the lighting on as it gets dark.

If the copper core of the cable is punctured, it is best to cut that piece of the cable out completely. Then, you can either connect the two pieces of cable back together using a cable connector (CC-2) or install an extra piece of cable between using two CC-2. Always check how much power is connected to the cable after the break as a maximum of 50 watts can be installed after one CC-2. If you do not have a CC-2 on hand, you can wrap the punctured area with electrical tape. DO NOT leave the punctured area untouched.

Yes, you can. Many in-lite fixtures are recessed into driveways, pathways, paver patios, and more!

If you have a particular light in mind or you are looking to replace one of your existing lights and you don’t see it listed on in-sider.com, we can help.

Please reach out to our online team by phone 1 833-472-9960 or email info@in-lite.com to see if this fixture or product is available at one of our international shipping facilities. Please note: that items not listed on this site are considered Special Order Items. Special Order Items are subject to additional shipping fees.

We can help to see if the light is discontinued, if in the circumstance we discover the fixture is discontinued we can assist in finding a fixture or set of fixtures that would work with your current landscape.

Installation Questions

No, installing in-lite requires no technical background, electrical background, or knowledge. That being said, some fixtures are easier to install than others. For installation of recessed fixtures (particularly into concrete or pavers) we always recommend the use of a professional. For more information visit our How it Works page.

Although not necessary, it might be a great idea to pre-plan your project to make sure you can set your project up for success. If you don’t know where to start, you can contact our 3D designers and we can create a detailed 3D design and render for you or your client. To find out more about this visit our 3D design services page.

in-lite transformers can be installed inside or outside, our transformers are rated IP-67 and are resistant to water, moisture, and debris. Many people install their transformers in a pool shed, storage room, or mounted onto their home near a GFCI outlet.

Please bear in mind that all transformers must be installed close to a GFCI outlet, must be plugged into a GFCI outlet, and must be installed at least 18 inches off the ground.

Yes, absolutely. in-lite functions on low-voltage technology. Therefore it requires a transformer to 'transform' your home's main voltage down to 12 volt. As in-lite is only 12 volts, this means it is safe, quick, and easy to install.

Each in-lite fixture comes equipped with the patented Easy-Lock. Use this Easy-Lock, along with the mini-connector to connect the low-voltage cable to the fixture. For more information visit our How it Works page.

A basic low-voltage lighting system typically does not require significant construction, digging, or adaptation to your property. Low-voltage cable can be buried directly beneath the ground and therefore does not require deep trenches to be dug like most other electrical work. A typical landscape lighting installation can be completed in a day or two with the landscape left virtually unmarked or damaged.

Yes, absolutely. Low voltage landscape cable only needs a shallow trench to be hidden in. Cables that are directly attached to the fixture can also be buried directly under the surface. As a rule of thumb, we highly recommend burying the low-voltage cable to prevent any tripping hazard from occurring.

Our lights and systems are sealed and fall under the specifications of IP-67 guidelines, this makes our fixtures water resistant not waterproof. While you can install our lights around your pools or water features, we discourage anyone from installing them into your swimming pools.

Please note: it is advisable to check with your local, state, and federal jurisdictions to ensure that you can place low-voltage lighting fixtures in close proximity to bodies of water. Some cities and states require specific permissions or assurances that needs to be approved before passing inspection.

It is not recommended to install in-lite into a heated pavement because when the internal temperature of an LED is increased, both the voltage and the lumen output decrease. Higher temperatures near or on the fixture lead to a more rapid deterioration of the LED and ultimately, your lighting fixture. This can result in permanent damage to your lighting fixtures and system.

No, you do not. The patented Easy-Lock connector can be installed both above and below ground. The gel inside the connector protects against moisture and the elements.

We don’t recommend using more than 6 BIG NERO on a single line of low-voltage cable. On top of that, you should never use 14/2 gauge low-voltage cable with BIG NEROs – you should only use 12/2 gauge cable and 10/2 gauge cable, if available.

A drill press is a device that is used to bore holes in hard substances such as wood and cement. The drill is held in a rotating spindle and is lowered into the workpiece, which is usually clamped in a vice resting on a sturdy surface. This ensures that the hole is drilled perfectly straight. We always recommend using a drill press to bore holes into pavers to inset our recessed lights. These machines can often be purchased or rented at masonry or building supply shops.

Although it’s highly recommended to use a drill press to ensure that your drilled holes are straight, you can also use a GFCI corded hammer drill to drill holes into your concrete pavers. Please ensure the hammer drill is NOT on the hammer setting as this may damage your drill bit and wear it out prematurely. To make sure that you are able to cut through your pavers efficiently a diamond drill bit and water swivel are necessary. All tools and attachments can be purchased on our Tool collection page .

To keep things simple, we’ve put together two handy videos to help you master installing recessed paver lights:

How to drill through your pavers.
What not to do when drilling through pavers.

The best way to learn about using our Water Swivel and Diamond Bits is to watch the following video: How to drill through your pavers

Both the Water swivel and diamond bits attach to your drill like most other accessories. Firstly, take the water swivel and make sure the non-threaded end is secured firmly into the chuck of your drill, you may need a hex key to make sure its tight. Next you’ll want to attach your hose to the side of the water swivel. Lastly screw your diamond bit on to the end of the water swivel with the treads and ensure that diamond bit is securely in place.

Next, use a jig or predrilled pavers to hold your drill bit in place over your desired drilling location. Turn your drill on and ensure water is following through the end of the diamond bit. Place the bit onto the paver and use pressure to start cutting through the paver. Use continual pressure to push the bit through the remaining concrete while ensuring always that the hole is being drilled straight.

Once through, pull the drill out of the hole, turn off the drill setting and remove any concrete within the bit. Gently wash the paver sediment off the paver.

We strongly encourage the use of our water swivel for recessed lighting installations in pavers. Water swivels assist in the cutting of pavers by feeding water through your drill bit and lubricating the drill, reducing the friction of the drill and reducing the heat produced by the drill. Ultimately, it will dramatically increase the longevity of the diamond bit and allow you to use your bits for longer.

The water swivel also limits and prevents dust and debris from entering the project site. In almost all cases, it is required by law to use vacuum equipment or water when drilling and cutting concrete!

We cannot guarantee the use of our drill bits on ceramics or ceramic tiles. These drill bits are especially made for boring through concrete and concrete pavers only.

System Questions

This is not recommended. in-lite LEDs can be sensitive to interference or fluctuations in the system. As a reminder, when your lighting is connected to a system that includes alternate products not from in-lite, this can void the warranty. in-lite can no longer guarantee the quality of its products in such cases.

If you do choose to use your own transformer, please ensure that the transformer has enough wattage capacity available for new fixtures, is 12V low-voltage, and your low-voltage cable is connected to the 12V tap ONLY.

Although, strongly not recommended, you can use in-lite fixtures on a different low voltage transformer provided that the low voltage cable that the in-lite fixtures will attach to is connected to a 12V lighting tap. DO NOT attach in-lite fixtures to a 16V tap and only in rare circumstances should you attach in-lite fixtures to a 14V tap.

Please keep in mind that our fixtures are designed to work best with our own transformers. Be advised that using our in-lite fixtures on a non-in-lite transformer may void your 5-year warranty.

Yes, you can. Additional in-lite fixtures can be easily added to an existing job or used to expand an existing job. However, always make sure you consider the maximum load of the transformer and the cable. For more info, visit our How it Works page.

This depends on the capacity (wattage) of the transformer and the wattage of the fixtures that you'd like to connect to the transformer. We recommend not exceeding a 90% capacity of the transformer.

Yes of course! in-lite transformers can be installed outside.

in-lite fixtures are built with the intention of being placed outdoors in patios, gardens, decks, docks, and more. However, that doesn’t mean that you can’t install our outdoor lights and systems indoors if necessary. But there are a few things you should consider first:

Before installing your in-lite system indoors, you’ll need to make sure you have a GFCI outlet to plug your transformer into. If these in-lite fixtures are wired to a direct wire in the home, the bulb could instantly burn out, as the fixtures were built for a low voltage connection. You will likely require a licensed electrician to help with the installation of in-lite in indoor applications.

Our current transformer does not have built-in zoning functionality. Our new transformers that are set to be released in 2020 will have zoning as a feature.

No, the electronics used in in-lite products are not capable of being dimmed. As a reminder, using alternate products connected to an in-lite system can void the warranty.

Product Questions

The HYVE series is perfect for borders, driveways, and functional lighting applications. It is slightly blinding. The HYVE series is slightly cooler in color temperature making it the ideal option for creating expansiveness and space in your outdoors.

On the other hand, the FUSION series is perfect for patios, steps, and ambient lighting applications. It is non-blinding. The FUSION series is slightly warmer in color temperature making it the ideal option for creating warmth and ambience in your outdoors.

We have a great video that discusses and shows the difference between the HYVE and FUSION - check it out here

The difference between the HYVE 22 and the HYVE 22 RVS is that the RVS line has a bevelled stainless-steel ring around the surface of the fixture. This will cause the light to be slightly raised above the surface that you are installing it in. We often recommend the HYVE 22 RVS as the ring can also help hide any imperfections in the drilling or concrete around the cored hole. Please note, you cannot add the stainless-steel ring to the HYVE 22: the two fixtures are independent of one another.

The difference between the FUSION 22 and the FUSION 22 RVS is that the RVS line has a bevelled stainless-steel ring around the surface of the fixture. This will cause the light to be slightly raised above the surface that you are installing it in. We often recommend the FUSION 22 RVS as the ring can also help hide any imperfections in the drilling or concrete around the cored hole. Please note, you cannot add the stainless-steel ring to the FUSION 22: the two fixtures are independent of one another.

The only difference is the color temperature of the light. A ‘cool’ light is higher on the kelvin scale and a ‘warm’ light is lower on the kelvin scale.

On average, in-lite manufactured fixtures will last around 35,000 hours. To put that in context, you can run in-lite LED lights for 6 hours every single night for over 15 years on average.

Yes. You do not need to purchase the Easy-Lock seperately. It is included in the box with each fixture.

A maximum of 50 watts of fixtures can be installed after one CC-2 cable connector. Therefore you may want to install additional cable connectors down the original line, if needed.

Our fixtures are built with quality and longevity in mind, this means we use the highest quality materials to ensure the fixtures are built to last in harsh outdoor climates. All our units are sealed and integrated LED units. Almost all are rated IP-67 for protection against the moisture and dirt in outdoor environments.

Our recessed lighting units are built using Polycarbonate and Stainless Steel.

Our spotlights are built using Anodized Aluminum, Polycarbonate, and Glass.

Our path lights and wall lights are built using polycarbonate and either anodized or powder-coated aluminum.

Seeing water inside a recessed lighting fixture usually indicates that there is a crack or break in the polycarbonate housing of the fixture. Over time, water can creep inside the fixture and lead to premature failure. This IS NOT commonplace and IS NOT normal for in-lite recessed fixtures. The most common cause of this is damage of the fixture during the installation process. In order to prevent this, core drilled holes must be straight. If lights are inset in an angular hole, this can cause the fixture to crack. Additionally, not using a rubber mallet and/or padding to protect the face of the fixture while recessing it into the drilled hole can cause the fixture to break.

Fixtures with moisture or cracks can still function for some time before the LED is no longer working. However, it is best that these fixtures are replaced in the event of damage. A cracked fixture is not covered under warranty.

Yes, you can. We carry extension cords available in 3 and 9 feet. We recommend that you don't extend fixture leads past 12 feet. If doing so, try to use as few extender cables as possible.

1. Check for physical damage to the light - has it been knocked over or pulled from the ground?
2. Make sure the connection points are secure, check the Easy-Lock connector and make sure the cable is placed flat on the guiding track of the Easy-Lock.
3. Check to see if the mini-connector (fixture lead) is firmly and securely attached to the Easy-Lock.
4. Lastly, follow your main cable line and make sure there is no breaks or severing in the cable.

If you’ve tried all you can to troubleshoot your system, please reach out to our customer care at 1 833-472-9960 or email for more assistance or to receive a warranty claim sheet.

Here are some handy tips you can try yourself if a light isn't working before calling in a pro:

Ensure the Easy-Lock is connected properly.
Move the Easy-Lock to somewhere else on the line and see if the light works.
Try plugging the light into a different Easy-Lock (from a fixture that is working properly) to see if it is a problem with the fixture or a problem with the connection.
Reset the system by pressing the reset button on the bottom of the transformer.
Ensure there are no signs of physical damage to the main low-voltage cable close to the fixture.
Make sure the mini-connectors is pushed in all the way and firmly attached.

We also have some fantastic troubleshooting videos on our YouTube page that help you walk along some trouble shooting tips to help resolve your issues. We have two very helpful videos here:

How to troubleshoot outdoor lighting fixtures

If you have tried all these methods and the light is still not functioning correctly, then please reach out to us to begin a warranty claim process.

To determine how many lights you can put on a single transformer it’s important to understand how wattage and wattage capacity work. Each outdoor lighting fixture has a specific wattage. This can be found on each product page or the product box. For example, the FUSION 22 is 0.2 watts. The Transformer has a wattage capacity. The current in-lite transformer has a total wattage capacity of 108W. We recommend only using 90% of this capacity to account for any surges in voltage or power that may occur throughout the lifetime of the system. That means that you should put a total of approximately 95 Watts on the transformer.

It is now your job to add up all the individual wattages of each of the lights you want to add to your outdoor landscape. Does this number fall below 95 watts total? Then you’re good to go! If the total of all your selected fixtures is above 95 watts that means you will need more than 1 transformer!

If you require assistance with figuring out how many watts your project will add up to, you can always reach us by phone at 1 833 472-9960 or email.

C.R.I. stands for Color Rendering Index. This is a scale that goes from 0% to 100%. Its main purpose is to indicate how accurate a light source is at rendering color. The higher the C.R.I. the better the color rendering ability and typically the better the quality of LED.

A maximum of 50 watts of fixtures can be installed after 1 CC-2 Cable Connector. Therefore, you may want to install additional CC-2 cable connectors down the original line, if needed.

A watt is in reference to the power that generates heat. Wattage indicates how much power a fixture consumes. Generally, less is better. When a fixture has a low wattage it is considered efficient as a lower wattage will save you money on your household energy bills. Energy-efficiency is also good for the environment.

Because in-lite uses only the best LEDs, the wattage of our fixtures is well-below the industry standard. NOTE: wattage is a measure of consumption and not a measure of light output. Wattage should not be used as a way to anticipate light output or how bright a fixture will be.

Volt amps are the potential power of the fixture, this is used to simplify power ratings and calculating the drawn current energy. In essence, this is how much total power a fixture can draw off the line.

Watts and volt-amps are both measurements for electrical power consumption. Watts will show you the general power consumption of a light, while volt amps refers to a lights potential power - because fixtures can potentially consume more than their wattage rating, you should not exceed 90% capacity of a transformer to account for additional potential power consumption (ie. VA).

A lumen is a measurement of how much light gets produced from a bulb. The higher the lumens the brighter the light. The lower the lumens the dimmer the light. Unlike wattage, Lumens are a measure of light output and can be used to estimate how bright a fixture is.

Each SKU draws a unique wattage from the transformer. Although different fixture models will draw different wattages, multiple fixtures of the same SKU will not vary in wattage draw. Each SKU will have a set wattage.

You can see how many watts a certain light consumes on each product page under “quick specs” You can also download a detailed spec sheet of each light on the product page.

No. The in-lite fixtures we carry cannot be connected to a 220V or 230V line and are exclusively made for low-voltage applications. in-lite fixtures MUST BE connected to our 12V low-voltage transformer.

In this event, you will need to purchase an additional transformer(s). Additional transformers can be installed side-by-side or in different areas of your property. This may require you to rework your original lighting plan, but will ensure that all your desired lighting is functioning correctly for you.

All in-lite fixtures are rated especially for outdoor use. All in-lite LED lighting fixtures are waterproof (refer to the IP values for our products), but are not designed to remain underwater permanently.

SMART HUB-150

The SMART HUB-150 is the newest transformer introduced by in-lite! The SMART HUB-150 is the biggest upgrade to our transformers yet. Not only does it have a modern and sleek design, it also has three zones available to run a main line from, these can be controlled with Bluetooth and the brand new in-lite app!

The first thing you will notice is the sleek modern design and when removing the magnet cover off the front, you can also see our new Easy-Connect Quick Closure System. This makes connecting your main line cable to the transformer faster, easier, and more reliable. There are three zones that each run their own low-voltage cable, meaning you can control each zone individually! An astronomical clock on the inside of the SMART HUB-150 will automatically know if it’s dusk or dawn in your area, so you no longer need a light sensor. This will power your lights accordingly. And finally, all of your settings can be controlled from the in-lite app, available on the App Store and Google Play Store.

Mount the transformer at least 18 inches (1.6 feet) off the ground and within at least 24 inches (2 feet) from a GFCI outlet. Plug the transformer into the GFCI outlet and run your main line cable(s) from the Easy-Connect quick closure system at the bottom of the transformer. The rest of the settings are controlled via the app.

The SMART HUB-150 is controlled by a Bluetooth signal and the in-lite app, you can find the app on the Apple app store and Google Play store by searching “in-lite outdoor lighting. The fastest way of finding and downloading the app would be to open your camera app on your smart device and scan the QR code located on the box of the SMART HUB-150 or directly on the side of the physical transformer.

Replacing your old in-lite transformer (the 108W Transformer or the Hub-100) is rather simple. The only difference is that on the older transformers, the space between the mounting screws was approximately 50 mm (1.9”) but on the SMART HUB-150 it is 80 mm (3.1”). You’ll need to re-drill your holes. Once mounted, plug the SMART HUB-150 into the same GFCI outlet your existing transformer was plugged into and connect your main line cable to the SMART HUB-150.

Most smart devices with Bluetooth compatibility should be able to run the in-lite app and control the transformer. This will include cell phones and tablets. Older devices may struggle with the Bluetooth connection, we recommend using smart devices released in 2016 and on for a more seamless experience.

The SMART HUB-150 is controlled with a smart device (Smartphone, tablet, etc.) and utilizes a Bluetooth connection. The connection holds well at distances up to a couple hundred feet. Obstructions like walls and structures may reduce this distance. This will greatly depend on how new your smart device is and the Bluetooth firmware it currently has.

There is no need for a photocell! There is an astronomical clock to the inside of the SMART HUB-150 that will automatically know when the sun will rise and set in your specific area. No cables or accessories needed.

To get the full experience of the SMART HUB-150, a smart device like a Tablet or Smartphone is required. Without a smart device, you will not be able to control your lights. If you do not own a smart device, you may want to check out the HUB-100 in-lite transformer instead.

The SMART HUB-150 has a maximum capacity of 150 VA or 150 W. You can find how many Watts or Volt-Amps a fixture occupies on the product pages located on in-sider.com

The capacity of the SMART HUB-150 is either measured in Watts (W) or Volt-Amps (VA). The SMART HUB-150 can sustain up to 150W or 150VA. The number of fixtures you can attach to the transformer will vary depending on the fixture, you can find how many Watts and Volt-Amps a fixture consumes on each respective product page.

Each zone on the SMART HUB-150 has a maximum capacity of 100 VA (Volt-Amps). The SMART HUB-150 has a maximum capacity of 150 VA or 150 W total. Please be sure not to overload the system or individual zones.

The SMART HUB-150 is rated IP23: this means its resistant to light weather conditions. Our recommendation is to install the transformer in a covered area (under a deck, in a shed, etc.).

The SMART HUB-150 does not have a dimmable option available for the fixtures attached.

We have introduced the SMART MOVE as a wireless motion detector for the SMART HUB-150. This is a small box that is solar powered and runs remotely from the transformer. This is a perfect accessory if you don’t require your lights to be on all the time. The SMART MOVE can also help increase your home’s security by turning on your lights when intruders get too close.

The in-lite app is similar to a timer, you can now set when you want your system turned on and off with routines. Please refer to the in-lite app manual. You can find the manual by scanning the WR code with your camera app. The QR code is located on the product box or on the side of your transformer.

The SMART HUB-150 no longer utilizes a light sensor, however, we have included an astronomical clock built into the transformer. This new addition determines the time of the sunset and sunrise based on your location.

You have the ability to put a max of 150 VA on the transformer. However, each zone can only sustain 100VA, we would recommend distributing your fixtures evenly across the different zones if possible.

SMART HUB-150 has three zones for potential use. It is not recommended to attach more than one cable per zone.

No. The in-lite app will save your set routines and will start every day with the same set routines. These will only change or adjust if you make the changes in the in-lite app.

By normal use, this would be very difficult to do. Once the wires are set and the wire plate closed, you should not have to go back to the transformer unless troubleshooting an issue. You cannot replace the easy connect closure system by itself, the whole transformer would require replacing.
