Antique Brass 2-12W adjustable Integrated 12v Spot Light

GLE Solid Brass 12V Adjustable Integrated LED Uplight Spotlight — 2-12W | IP65 | Antique Bronze

The middle ground between the standard GLE brass uplight and the Eagle Series flagship — and for a wide range of landscape lighting applications it is exactly the right fixture. The GLE 2-12W adjustable integrated LED uplight delivers the core advantage of adjustable wattage output in a solid brass IP65 rated fixture at $38.99 — without the full premium specification of the Eagle Series for applications where 2 to 12 watts of adjustable integrated LED output covers everything the position requires.

Where the standard GLE brass uplight delivers fixed output determined by the MR16 bulb installed and the Eagle Series delivers dial adjustable 6 to 24 watts with rotating lens beam spread control, the GLE 2-12W adjustable uplight delivers dial adjustable integrated LED output across the lower wattage range that covers the majority of standard residential landscape accent lighting applications — garden features, smaller shrubs and foundation plantings, pathway border accents, and architectural detail lighting where the precise low-end wattage control of a 2 to 12 watt range is more useful than the higher output range of the Eagle Series. Buy direct from GLE at $38.99 and get professional installer grade adjustable brass uplighting at a price that cuts out the distributor and middleman markup entirely.

GLE 2-12W Adjustable Uplight — Key Features:

• Adjustable integrated LED — 2 to 12 watts — the integrated LED output adjusts continuously from 2 watts at minimum to 12 watts at maximum. The 2 watt lower limit delivers genuinely subtle, low-output accent illumination that fixed-wattage MR16 fixtures simply cannot achieve — ideal for close-range accent lighting, subtle garden feature highlighting, and any position where the lowest practical light output is the design goal
• Integrated LED — no replacement bulb required — the LED light source is permanently integrated into the fixture body. No MR16 bulb to source, seat, and replace between seasons. The integrated LED delivers consistent 3000K warm white output across its full rated service life
• Solid die-cast brass construction — heavier, more durable, and more corrosion resistant than aluminum and plastic uplight alternatives. Solid brass resists rust, oxidation, and the ground contact corrosion that destroys cheaper outdoor spotlight fixtures over time
• Convex glass lens — the convex profile prevents water pooling on the lens surface and reduces the internal condensation that forms behind flat glass lenses in outdoor temperature-cycling environments. The same convex lens design used across the GLE brass uplight range for consistent optical performance and long-term lens clarity
• High-temperature silicone O-ring seal — high-temperature silicone O-ring seals the lens assembly against water intrusion across the full outdoor temperature range — from summer heat to winter freeze. High-temperature silicone maintains seal integrity where standard rubber O-rings harden, crack, and fail in temperature-extreme outdoor conditions
• IP65 wet location rated — fully certified for outdoor wet location installation across all weather conditions including direct rain, irrigation spray, and ground moisture exposure
• 8.5 inch ground spike included — deep, secure in-ground spike for stable fixture positioning in landscape beds and garden installations
• 72 inch UL listed pre-wired lead wire — professional length lead wire for routing from fixture position to wire run without additional splicing at the fixture
• Antique bronze finish — warm, sophisticated finish consistent with the full GLE brass fixture range for cohesive multi-fixture landscape lighting installations
• 3000K warm white output — natural, inviting warm white color temperature that flatters landscape features, plantings, and architectural surfaces consistently with every other 3000K fixture in the GLE catalog
• 1.8 pound solid brass construction — heavier than the standard GLE uplight at 0.75 pounds, lighter than the Eagle Series at 3.7 pounds. The weight reflects the integrated LED module and adjustable driver in solid brass construction — more capability than the standard uplight at a fraction of the Eagle Series weight and price
• 1 year warranty — every GLE adjustable uplight is backed by a full 1 year manufacturer warranty

The 2-12W Wattage Range — Why the Low End Matters:

The Eagle Series covers 6 to 24 watts. The standard GLE brass uplight with a 3W MR16 covers a fixed 3 watts. The GLE 2-12W adjustable covers 2 to 12 watts — and the 2 watt lower limit is a more useful specification for specific landscape lighting applications than it might initially appear.

At 2 watts of output a landscape uplight delivers a genuinely subtle, intimate accent glow — the kind of barely-there illumination that adds depth and presence to a garden feature or planting without the bright, attention-commanding output of a higher wattage fixture. This output level is used by professional landscape lighting designers specifically for:

• Close-range garden accent lighting — a sculpture, urn, or garden feature positioned 18 to 24 inches from the fixture needs 2 to 4 watts of output for balanced, flattering illumination. At 6 watts minimum the Eagle Series overexposes the same close-range feature
• Subtle pathway border accents — low wattage uplight positions along pathway borders and garden bed edges where the fixture adds gentle light presence without competing with the primary pathway lighting fixtures
• Layered lighting depth — professional landscape lighting designers use low-output accent fixtures in the foreground of a landscape composition to add depth and layering without the uniformly bright output that makes a landscape look flatly lit rather than designed
• Transformer load minimization — at 2 to 4 watts per fixture the 2-12W adjustable uplight adds minimal transformer load for accent positions that do not require high output, preserving transformer capacity for the primary feature uplights in the system

Where the 2-12W Adjustable Uplight Fits in the GLE Uplight Lineup:

Choosing the right GLE uplight for each position in a landscape lighting design is a specification decision — not just a budget decision. Here is how the three GLE uplight options divide across application types:

Standard GLE Brass Uplight — $24.00 (case of 10): Fixed MR16 output determined by bulb selection. Right for standard residential facade and tree uplighting positions where consistent fixed output across multiple fixtures is the goal and individual per-fixture output calibration is not required. Best value for high fixture count installations.

GLE 2-12W Adjustable Integrated LED Uplight — $38.99: Adjustable 2 to 12 watt integrated LED output. Right for close-range accent lighting positions, subtle garden feature highlighting, layered foreground lighting, and any position in a residential installation where the lower wattage range and adjustable output of an integrated LED fixture delivers better results than a fixed MR16 alternative. The right fixture for the accent positions in a mixed-specification installation.

GLE Eagle Series 6-24W Adjustable Uplight — $99.00: Dial adjustable 6 to 24 watt output plus rotating lens 20 to 60 degree beam spread adjustment. Right for premium installations where individual per-fixture calibration of both output and beam spread is required, large tree and facade uplighting positions that need the upper wattage range, and installations where the rotating lens beam spread adjustment delivers a result that fixed-beam alternatives cannot achieve.

Using All Three in One Installation: Professional landscape lighting installers frequently specify all three GLE uplight options across a single premium residential installation — Eagle Series fixtures on primary tree and facade positions requiring maximum output and beam control, 2-12W adjustable fixtures on close-range accent and garden feature positions requiring low-end wattage precision, and standard brass uplights on secondary positions where fixed MR16 output covers the application and per-fixture cost matters. The consistent antique bronze finish across all three means the mixed specification is invisible in the finished installation.

Where to Use the GLE 2-12W Adjustable Uplight:

• Garden sculpture and feature accent lighting — close-range accent positions where 2 to 6 watts of precisely controlled output illuminates a garden feature, sculpture, or decorative element at the correct brightness level without the overexposure that higher wattage fixed alternatives create at close range
• Foundation planting and small shrub uplighting — lower and mid-range wattage settings cover compact foundation plantings, ornamental grasses, and smaller shrubs where a full 12 watt output would overwhelm the plant scale and create an overlit, unnatural appearance
• Pathway border accent positions — low-output uplight positions along pathway borders and garden bed edges that add gentle light presence and layered depth without competing with primary pathway fixtures or drawing the eye away from the main lighting features
• Architectural detail accent lighting — close-range positions highlighting columns, decorative stonework, entry gate pillars, and architectural details at distances where 2 to 8 watts delivers balanced accent illumination
• Foreground landscape bed depth lighting — low output foreground uplight positions that add a front layer of gentle illumination to landscape bed compositions, creating depth between the foreground planting layer and the primary background feature uplights
• Transformer-constrained system additions — adding accent uplight positions to an existing system that is near transformer capacity. At 2 to 6 watts per fixture the 2-12W adjustable uplight adds the minimum practical transformer load for new accent positions without requiring a transformer upgrade
