With a power consumption of just 1.8 watts and a lifespan of 25,000 hours, this is an energy-efficient alternative to classic halogen spotlights. The warm white light colour (3000K) creates a cosy, homely atmosphere – perfect for creating ambient lighting in your garden.

Features & advantages of the Raf

Adjustable light direction for maximum flexibility
A unique feature of the Garden Lights Raf is the adjustable lamp head. You decide whether the light shines upwards, downwards or straight ahead. This allows you to adapt the spotlight perfectly to your garden landscape. Whether you want to subtly accent a hedge or dramatically illuminate an artwork – the Raf makes it possible. This flexibility makes it suitable for both functional and decorative applications.

Industrial design in classic black
The modern, minimalist design of the Garden Lights Raf fits seamlessly into an industrial garden style. The large, round reflector is not only functional, but also very attractive. Combined with other industrial garden lighting from Boender Outdoor – such as the Boaz or Dax – you create a cohesive, professional look in your outdoor space.

Warm white LED for cosy ambiance
With a colour temperature of 3000K and a CRI of 72, the Raf produces a pleasant warm light that appears very natural. This type of light promotes relaxation and cosiness – ideal for patios, borders and shrubs where you like to spend time. Unlike cold white light, warm white feels much less industrial and fits better into a living space.

Durable and weather-resistant
The Raf is made from aluminium and has an IP44 rating, which means it is resistant to splashing water and dust. With a 5-year warranty and a minimum operating temperature of -20°C, this outdoor LED spotlight will continue to serve you well, even during harsh Dutch winters. The long lifespan of 25,000 hours means you can enjoy years of use without needing to replace the light source.

Applications in the garden

The Garden Lights Raf is a versatile outdoor LED spotlight that performs optimally in numerous garden situations. Thanks to the adjustable lamp head, you can use it for various purposes.

Accent hedges and shrubs
Place several Raf spotlights along your hedge or against key shrubs. By directing the light upwards from below, you create dramatic shadows that are visually interesting in the evening. Garden designers call this "uplighting" – a technique that adds depth and dimension. The 15-degree beam is just right for subtly illuminating plant material without overwhelming the surroundings with too much light.

Enhance borders and planting beds
Set the Raf straight or with light directed downwards to target-illuminate your borders and planting beds. Especially combined with perennials, a beautiful atmosphere emerges. The warm white light colour brings warm tones in plant colours to the fore – especially red-tinted foliage and flowers look stunning.

Highlight objects and artwork
Thanks to the adjustable head, the Raf is perfect for accenting garden objects: a statue, fountain, art installation or beautiful pot. By directing the light from different angles, you determine which aspects you want to emphasise. This gives your garden a gallery-like, polished look.

Installation & tips

The Garden Lights Raf is designed for use in a 12V garden lighting system. This is safer than 230V and much easier to install yourself. With a power consumption of just 1.8 watts, the Raf uses minimal energy – you can therefore connect many spotlights to one transformer without any problems.

Mounting
The spotlight comes with screws, plugs and a ground spike. For ground mounting, simply push the spike into the soil. For mounting on walls or other surfaces, use the supplied screws and plugs. The cable length is 1.15 metres, so ensure you have a suitable connection point close to your spotlight location.

Setting the light direction
After installation, you can easily adjust the lamp head. Experiment with different angles to achieve the desired effect. It's a good idea to look at how the spotlight looks during the day first – visual balance and proportions can be crucial to the final result.

Combining with other spotlights
The Raf works perfectly within a larger lighting scheme. Combine it with other Garden Lights industrial spotlights such as Boaz or Dax for a cohesive look. Because all spotlights have the same colour and warmth, you create a professionally designed lighting plan.

Frequently asked questions about the Garden Lights Raf

Is the Garden Lights Raf compatible with existing 12V systems?

Yes, the Raf operates on 12V and is therefore perfectly compatible with all standard Boender Outdoor 12V garden lighting systems. You can simply connect it to your existing cable. Just make sure your transformer still has capacity – the Raf consumes just 1.8 watts, so you can connect multiple spotlights to one transformer.

How long does the light source of the Raf last?

The light source of the Garden Lights Raf has a lifespan of 25,000 hours. With average use (approximately 8 hours per night), this means more than 8 years of continuous use without needing replacement. This is a major advantage of LED technology compared to old-fashioned halogen or incandescent bulbs.

Can I replace the light source of the Raf myself?

No, the light source of the Garden Lights Raf is not replaceable. This is actually not a disadvantage – the LED is designed to last the full lifespan of the spotlight. After 25,000 hours you can replace the entire lamp, but that will take much longer than you're likely to plan for.

What is the difference between the 15-degree beam angle and wider spotlights?

The 15-degree beam of the Garden Lights Raf means the light is fairly concentrated – perfect for targeted accenting of specific objects or plant parts. A wider beam (for example 45 degrees) would provide more general lighting. For most accent lighting, 15 degrees is ideal.

Is the Raf suitable for use in rain and snow?

Yes, with an IP44 rating, the Garden Lights Raf is weather-resistant. It keeps rain and snow out well and works flawlessly down to -20°C. You therefore don't need to put it away in bad weather – it stays outside all year round and continues to function.
