18W Facade Lighting LED Underground Light
The FD-U030R18 is an 18W recessed in-ground luminaire designed for architectural facade lighting where a clean, flush installation is required. The fixture is built with a stainless steel 304 cover over a compact body, rated IP67 for permanent installation in paved areas that may flood. It operates on AC85-265V, making it compatible with standard mains wiring in commercial and residential projects. The CREE LED chip ensures consistent output in outdoor conditions. The fixture is supplied with a driver, and the design allows for easy integration into landscape and building facade schemes.

Compared With the Alternatives
Aluminium-trim in-ground light
Stainless steel 304 cover resists corrosion better in wet, salted, or frequently washed paving
Surface-mounted spike light
Flush installation avoids tripping hazards and damage from foot traffic or vehicles
Fixture without built-in driver
Built-in driver reduces site wiring complexity and installation time, especially in projects with multiple units
Use Guide
- Cast or core a D145 mm hole and provide drainage below the fixture before backfilling
- Set the fixture flush with the finished paving level to avoid trip hazards
- Ensure the backfill material is compacted around the fixture to prevent settling
- Verify the AC85-265V supply matches the site’s mains voltage before connection
- Clean the glass lens during routine paving maintenance to maintain light output
18W Facade Lighting LED Underground Light Questions
What is the cut-out size for this underground light?
The fixture requires a D145 mm hole, with a bottom diameter of D112 mm and a total height of H178 mm.
Is the driver included?
Yes. The model is supplied with a driver, so no additional driver is needed at the site.
Can it run on 24V DC?
No. The model is rated for AC85-265V only. For DC24V applications, a different model is required.
Is IP67 sufficient for paving that floods?
Yes. IP67 covers temporary immersion, which is the condition recessed fixtures experience after rain. For permanent submersion, use an underwater luminaire.
What is the warranty?
This model carries a 3 year warranty. Across the FENGDIAN range, warranty varies from 2 to 5 years depending on the product.
Can we order a sample before a project quantity?
Yes. Sample orders are accepted, mixed samples are acceptable, and samples typically ship in 3-5 days.
How long does mass production take?
Mass production is typically 1-2 weeks, and goods normally ship by DHL, UPS, FedEx or TNT with 3-5 days in transit, or by air or sea freight.
