The 3" In-Ground Spot Light is a stainless steel well light you set to 3000K, 4000K or 5000K at the wire, before it ever goes in the ground.
Three watts gives you 200 Lm at 3000K, 223 Lm at 4000K and 230 Lm at 5000K, with CRI above 80 and a 36 degree beam.
Stainless steel body, step tempered glass, IP67 sealed, cETLus wet location, 12V. Three year warranty.
What is a 3CCT light?
A 3CCT light is one fixture that produces three colour temperatures, picked at installation rather than at the factory. This one gives you 3000K warm, 4000K neutral and 5000K cool, and you choose by wire.
There's no switch on the housing. Yellow gives 3000K. Red gives 5000K. Both together gives 4000K. Black is the negative.
That matters more here than on a ceiling fixture. Once it's set in a gravel bed, changing your mind means digging it up. Decide before you bury it.
Can an IP67 in-ground light sit under water?
No. IP67 covers temporary immersion only, one metre for thirty minutes, and Votatec's manual says plainly not to install it under water. Continuous submersion needs IP68.
So drain the location. If the spot ponds after heavy rain or sits where snowmelt collects, this is the wrong fixture for it.
Two more limits. Don't install it near salt water or in high salt or high acid ground. The coating is rated for natural soil, which rules out coastal sites and beds that catch road de-icer.
What the install needs
Cut a 2.87" (73mm) hole. The ABS sleeve sits level with grade, and the manual calls for a gravel bed of at least 25cm underneath it for drainage.
It runs on 12V AC/DC, so you'll need a landscape transformer, not line voltage. Use a waterproof connector and leave cable slack for maintenance. Rated -20C to +40C. Have a qualified electrician do the branch circuit.
Trims order separately
The trim ring isn't in the box. Order 3" BN Trim for brushed nickel or 3" SB Trim for sand black as a separate line. The fixture isn't dimmable.
For the gravel depth, the connector step and the wiring colours, open the Manual (PDF), and pull the IES file if your designer needs candela data. Send us your fixture count and trim finish and we'll come back with a wholesale quote and a transformer sizing check.
