Part of the Ansell Foliar Connect System

The AFOL/FLD/BLK/1 forms part of the Ansell Foliar Connect architectural landscape lighting system.

Foliar Connect has been developed around a 24V low-voltage plug-and-play network, allowing compatible luminaires and accessories to be combined to create customised exterior lighting schemes.

Once the required Controller Hub has been correctly installed, the low-voltage system enables compatible luminaires to be added or removed without needing to rewire each fitting directly to a mains supply.

This makes Foliar Connect particularly attractive for garden and landscape installations that may need to evolve as planting, landscaping or lighting requirements change.

24V Low Voltage Plug-and-Play Design

The Foliar Connect system operates at 24V DC, with the AFOL/FLD/BLK/1 specified as a Class III luminaire.

Low-voltage operation is particularly useful for garden lighting, where fittings are distributed around planting, pathways and other landscape features.

The Foliar system is designed so that compatible low-voltage luminaires can be connected through the appropriate Foliar Controller Hub and connection accessories.

The Controller Hub itself must be installed by a qualified electrician.

3.5W Energy-Efficient LED

The Foliar Mini Flood requires just 3.5W of power.

This very low connected load makes it possible to incorporate multiple compatible luminaires into a landscape lighting design without the high energy consumption traditionally associated with larger outdoor lighting systems.

It is particularly useful for installations where several planting areas, pathways or architectural features need to be illuminated independently around the same garden.

300 Lumen Output

Despite its compact size and low 3.5W consumption, the AFOL/FLD/BLK/1 delivers 300 lumens.

This provides useful feature illumination while maintaining the discreet visual character expected from modern landscape lighting.

The fitting is designed primarily for highlighting and architectural illumination rather than high-output security floodlighting.

High 102lm/W Efficacy

The current Ansell datasheet specifies an efficacy of 102 lumens per watt.

This efficient LED performance helps the Foliar system provide effective landscape illumination while keeping electrical consumption low.

For larger garden schemes incorporating multiple fittings, good luminaire efficacy can make a significant difference to the overall connected lighting load.

3000K / 4000K Colour Selectable

The AFOL/FLD/BLK/1 provides selectable 3000K and 4000K colour temperatures.

This gives the installer or end user greater flexibility when creating the desired exterior lighting effect.

3000K Warm White

The 3000K setting creates a warmer and more relaxed appearance.

It works particularly well with:

• Timber Features
• Warm Brickwork
• Planting
• Patios
• Residential Gardens
• Decorative Landscaping

Warm white lighting can create a softer atmosphere and is particularly effective where the lighting scheme is intended to complement outdoor entertaining and relaxation areas.

4000K Cool White

The 4000K setting produces a cleaner and more neutral white appearance.

It can be particularly effective for:

• Contemporary Landscaping
• Pathways
• Modern Architecture
• Driveways
• Stonework
• Crisp Feature Lighting

The ability to select either colour temperature makes the same Foliar system adaptable to different exterior design styles.

Intelligent Colour Temperature Control

A particularly useful feature of the Foliar Connect system is the way its Controller Hub manages colour temperature across the connected luminaires.

Ansell states that the innovative hub keeps colour temperature consistent across the luminaires within the system without requiring each fitting to be manually changed individually.

This simplifies configuration and helps create a coordinated lighting effect across the garden.

Wide 90° Flood Beam

Unlike the Foliar Connect spotlight variant, the AFOL/FLD/BLK/1 is designed as a Mini Flood.

Its 90° beam angle spreads light across a relatively broad area.

This makes it particularly effective for illuminating:

• Planting Areas
• Shrubs
• Small Trees
• Planters
• Garden Features
• Low Walls
• Architectural Surfaces
• Landscape Features

Where a narrower beam is desirable for concentrated highlighting, the separate Foliar Connect Spotlight can be incorporated into the same system.

Modern Architectural Garden Lighting

The Foliar Connect range has been designed as an architectural feature lighting system rather than conventional utilitarian outdoor lighting.

Its slim profile and understated black finish allow the fitting to integrate discreetly into landscaped surroundings.

During daylight hours, the spike has minimal visual impact. After dark, it can provide controlled feature illumination across planting and architectural elements.

Minimalist Slim Spike Design

The slim spike design helps the luminaire disappear naturally amongst plants, borders and landscaped areas.

This is especially useful in professionally designed gardens where bulky exterior luminaires could distract from planting and architectural features.

The narrow profile allows the light itself to become the focus rather than the fitting.

Black Finish

The AFOL/FLD/BLK/1 is finished in black, providing a discreet appearance amongst soil, foliage, dark landscaping materials and architectural features.

A green version is also available within the Foliar Connect family for installations where a different visual finish is preferred.

IP66 Weather Protection

With an IP66 rating, the Mini Flood Spike is specifically designed for exterior use.

IP66 provides complete protection against dust ingress together with protection against powerful water jets.

This makes the luminaire suitable for the demanding environmental conditions associated with permanent garden and landscape lighting when correctly installed as part of the Foliar system.

IK06 Impact Resistance

The AFOL/FLD/BLK/1 also carries an IK06 impact rating.

This provides additional mechanical protection for a fitting installed at ground level, where accidental contact is more likely than with ceiling or high-level luminaires.

The combination of IP66 and IK06

CRI 80

The Mini Flood has a CRI of 80, providing good general colour rendering for outdoor architectural and landscape applications.

This is particularly useful when illuminating planting and decorative features where maintaining natural-looking colours is desirable.

SDCM 3 Colour Consistency

Ansell specifies the fitting at SDCM 3.

Good colour consistency becomes especially important when several luminaires are used together in the same landscape lighting scheme.

It helps minimise noticeable differences in light colour between individual fittings and contributes to a more professional finished installation.

Long L70 54,000-Hour LED Life

The integrated LED system has a specified lifetime of L70 54,000 hours.

This long rated life is particularly useful for outdoor installations, helping reduce the frequency with which luminaires need to be replaced or maintained.

Integrated LED construction also avoids the need for routine lamp replacement associated with conventional garden spike fittings.

Wide Operating Temperature Range

Ansell specifies an operating temperature range of -20°C to +60°C.

This broad range supports reliable use across the seasonal temperature conditions likely to be encountered in exterior landscape applications.

Compact 40mm Diameter

The luminaire has a slim 40mm diameter, contributing to its discreet appearance.

Its overall height is approximately 617.5mm, providing sufficient height to position the light source effectively amongst planting while retaining the minimalist aesthetic of the Foliar range.

Customisable Landscape Lighting System

One of the strongest advantages of Foliar Connect is its modular design.

Rather than being limited to a single style of spike light, a garden lighting scheme can combine compatible:

• Mini Flood Spikes
• Spot Light Spikes
• Pathway Spikes
• Splitters
• T Connectors
• Link Leads
• Snoots
• Controller Hub Accessories

This allows the lighting design to be adapted to different parts of the landscape.

For example, Mini Floods can illuminate planting, Spotlights can highlight individual features and Pathway fittings can provide illumination around circulation routes.

Ideal for Garden Planting

The broad 90° beam makes the Mini Flood particularly effective for planting areas and borders.

Positioned correctly, the luminaire can wash light across shrubs, ornamental grasses and other planting to create depth and visual interest after dark.

The choice between 3000K and 4000K also allows the appearance of the illuminated landscape to be tailored to the garden design.

Ideal for Planters

The slim spike design allows the fitting to integrate neatly into larger planters.

This can provide effective uplighting or feature illumination without introducing a visually bulky luminaire into the planting arrangement.

Ideal for Pathways

Although the Mini Flood is primarily a feature light, its broad beam can also be used as part of a pathway lighting design.

Strategically positioned fittings can illuminate surrounding landscaping and provide useful visual definition around pedestrian routes.

Ideal for Driveways

Ansell specifically identifies driveways as a suitable application for the Foliar Connect system.

The Mini Flood can be used to illuminate adjacent planting, walls or architectural features, creating a more considered lighting effect than conventional high-output security lighting.
