The LumenstarLED RD34 inground uplight (SKU: LS-RD34-5W-4K) is a premium 5-watt, 12V DC low-voltage fixture purpose-built for outdoor wet locations. Its IP67 ingress protection rating means the fixture is completely protected against dust and can withstand temporary immersion in water — a critical specification for in-ground installations exposed to rain, snow melt, and irrigation systems common across Canadian properties.
The stainless steel housing and trim provide exceptional resistance to corrosion, rust, and the freeze-thaw cycles that challenge outdoor fixtures in Canadian winters. Unlike plastic or aluminum alternatives, stainless steel maintains its structural integrity and clean aesthetic finish over many years of outdoor service. The low-profile, flush-mount design allows the RD34 to sit level with surrounding surfaces for a seamless, professional look in any landscape or hardscape application.
Lighting quality is where the RD34 truly excels. With a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 90, it accurately reproduces the natural colours of plants, stone, wood, and architectural finishes — far superior to standard CRI 70–80 fixtures commonly found in residential applications. The 4000K neutral white colour temperature strikes the perfect balance between warm ambiance and crisp visibility, making it versatile for both decorative and functional outdoor lighting purposes.
Operating on 12V DC low-voltage power, the RD34 is compatible with standard low-voltage landscape lighting transformers, simplifying integration into new or existing outdoor lighting systems. The pre-attached 24-inch (60 cm) wire lead provides enough length for straightforward in-ground wiring connections, reducing installation time on the job site. ETL listing confirms compliance with UL and CSA safety standards — a requirement for commercial, institutional, and residential projects across Canada.
The LumenstarLED RD34 is an excellent choice for landscape architects, electrical contractors, and property developers seeking a reliable, high-CRI inground uplight for driveways, garden paths, tree uplighting, building facades, outdoor plazas, and commercial grounds. Its energy-efficient 5W consumption allows multiple fixtures to be run on a single transformer circuit, reducing both installation costs and long-term energy expenses without compromising on light output or quality.
