WELL LIGHTS

Well lights are recessed into the ground or hardscape, with only the lens flush or slightly above grade. Use them for uplighting trees from the base, grazing walls, illuminating columns, or lighting pathways from ground level without visible fixtures. Ideal for clean, minimalist landscapes where you want the light, not the fixture, to be the focus.

Well Lights: Buried/recessed, flush with ground or deck surface. Best for uplighting from grade level, grazing, or lighting across flat surfaces.

Spotlights: Staked above ground, adjustable angle. Best for distant targeting, tree canopies, and flexible repositioning.
Use well lights when you want zero visual obstruction and a seamless look.

Yes — our well lights are IP67 or higher rated, meaning they withstand temporary submersion and heavy rain. The sealed lens and corrosion-resistant housing handle standing water. However, ensure the drainage hole (weep hole) at the base remains clear to prevent trapped moisture inside the fixture body.

Install so the lens sits flush with grade — typically 6–10 inches deep depending on model height. For hardscape (paver, deck) installation, cut a precise opening and use the included trim ring. Leave 2–3 inches of gravel or drainage rock at the bottom of the well to prevent waterlogging.

Most Gardencoin well lights are rated for occasional foot traffic and light lawn equipment (mowers, wheelbarrows) when properly installed flush with grade. They are not rated for vehicle traffic. For driveways or parking areas, use dedicated paver/inground fixtures rated for load-bearing.

Yes. All Gardencoin low voltage fixtures run on 12V AC. Total system wattage must stay below 80% of transformer capacity. Well lights typically range from 3W–7W LED — factor this in when sizing your transformer alongside higher-wattage spotlights.

Check drainage: Ensure the weep hole at the fixture base isn't blocked by soil or mulch.

Check gasket/seal: If the lens gasket is damaged or the housing cracked, water can seep in. Contact support for replacement gaskets.

Condensation vs. leak: A small amount of condensation on the lens interior after heavy rain is normal and will evaporate. Persistent pooling indicates a seal failure.
