The LumenstarLED RD32 inground uplight (SKU: LS-RD32-1W-27K) operates on 12V DC and consumes just 1 watt, making it an energy-efficient solution for low-voltage landscape and architectural lighting systems. Its 2700K warm white output creates a soft, inviting glow that enhances the natural tones of wood, stone, foliage, and masonry. The CRI 90 rating ensures that colors and textures appear vivid and true-to-life under artificial illumination — a critical quality metric for high-end landscape design and hospitality settings.
Built with a stainless steel housing and stainless steel trim ring, the RD32 is engineered to withstand the rigors of outdoor installation. Stainless steel offers superior resistance to rust, impact, and the corrosive effects of moisture and deicing salts — a key advantage for Canadian climate conditions. The fixture's low-profile, flush-mount form factor allows it to integrate discreetly into paved surfaces, lawns, and garden environments without creating tripping hazards or visual clutter.
The IP67 certification means the RD32 is fully protected against solid particle ingress and can withstand temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. This level of protection is essential for inground fixtures exposed to surface runoff, irrigation systems, poolside environments, and seasonal flooding. Paired with its robust stainless steel enclosure, the IP67 rating delivers exceptional long-term durability in wet outdoor locations.
Installation is straightforward thanks to the included 24-inch (60 cm) lead wire, which provides sufficient reach to connect to low-voltage junction boxes and landscape lighting transformers. The 12V DC operation is compatible with standard low-voltage outdoor lighting systems widely used by landscape contractors across Canada. The ETL listing confirms that the RD32 meets the electrical safety requirements of both the United States and Canada, ensuring code compliance and peace of mind for specifiers and installers alike.
The RD32 inground uplight is an excellent choice for a wide range of outdoor lighting applications: uplighting mature trees, highlighting garden sculptures, defining pathways and steps, accenting building facades, and creating dramatic effects in commercial plazas or resort landscapes. Its combination of warm 2700K light, CRI 90 color rendering, IP67 protection, and stainless steel construction positions it as a premium, long-lasting fixture for any project where reliability and aesthetics are equally important.
