Outdoor landscape lighting can transform your garden, pathway, or patio into a stunning nighttime oasis. For durable and weather-resistant solutions, ​IP68 waterproof in-ground lights​ like those from ​RAYNICE LIGHTING​ are ideal. This guide will walk you through the professional installation process while optimizing safety and performance.

​**Why Choose IP68 Waterproof In-Ground Lights?**​

IP68-rated fixtures, such as ​RAYNICE LIGHTING’s premium in-ground lights, are designed to withstand submersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. They’re perfect for:

• Poolside installations
• Garden pathways
• Driveway borders
• Architectural accent lighting

​Tools & Materials Needed​

Before installing your ​RAYNICE LIGHTING IP68 in-ground lights, gather:

1. RAYNICE IP68-rated in-ground light fixtures
2. Low-voltage transformer (12V/24V)
3. Shovel or trenching tool
4. Waterproof wire connectors
5. PVC conduit (optional for added protection)
6. Screwdriver and voltage tester
7. Gravel and sand mix

​Step 1: Plan Your Layout​

1. Mark desired locations using spray paint or stakes.
2. Ensure a minimum 3-foot distance between fixtures for even illumination.
3. Confirm all positions avoid underground utilities (call 811 in the US).

Pro Tip:​ Use ​RAYNICE LIGHTING’s angled fixtures​ to highlight trees or walls effectively.

​Step 2: Prepare the Installation Site​

1. Dig holes 6-8 inches deep (adjust based on ​RAYNICE LIGHTING’s specifications).
2. Create a 1-inch layer of gravel at the bottom for drainage.
3. Add a 2-inch sand layer to stabilize the fixture.

​Step 3: Install Wiring​

1. Bury cables 6-12 inches deep (18 inches for high-traffic areas).
2. Use waterproof connectors to link fixtures in parallel.
3. For extra protection, run wires through PVC conduit.

**Warning:**​ Always connect to a GFCI-protected circuit to prevent electrical hazards.

​Step 4: Mount the Fixtures​

1. Place ​RAYNICE LIGHTING IP68 fixtures​ into prepared holes.
2. Ensure the lens sits flush with the ground surface.
3. Secure with included mounting brackets.
4. Backfill with soil, compacting gently to avoid misalignment.

​Step 5: Connect to Power​

1. Attach wires to a low-voltage transformer (match voltage to ​RAYNICE LIGHTING’s requirements).
2. Test voltage output (12V/24V) before finalizing connections.
3. Seal all junctions with silicone gel for IP68 compliance.

​Maintenance Tips for Longevity​

1. Clean lenses quarterly with a soft brush and mild detergent.
2. Inspect seals annually – ​RAYNICE LIGHTING​ offers replacement gaskets.
3. Remove debris around fixtures to prevent overheating.
