Louvered Brass Top for Controlled, Low-Glare Uplighting
The raised brass louvers allow the MR16 beam to project upward while partially shielding the lamp from direct view. Compared with a fully open-top well light, the G02 provides more controlled accent lighting with less direct glare and light exposure.
Adjustable MR16 for Flexible Lighting Effects
The GU5.3 bi-pin socket accepts replaceable MR16 lamps, giving you flexibility to choose the wattage, color temperature, and beam angle for different landscape applications. The adjustable socket also helps fine-tune the light direction for trees, columns, walls, and other vertical features.
Durable Brass Top with IP65 Outdoor Protection
Built with a die-cast brass louvered top and durable PVC burial housing, the MLR-G02 is designed for long-term outdoor installation. Its IP65 rating helps protect the fixture against rain, snow, frost, heat, and everyday landscape conditions.
9–17V AC/DC Low-Voltage Compatibility
Designed for wired low-voltage landscape lighting systems, the fixture operates on 9–17V AC/DC and works with standard 12V landscape lighting setups. The included ETL-listed lead wire and waterproof wire connectors support a secure outdoor connection.
Backed by a Lifetime Warranty
MALORY brass fixtures are backed by a lifetime warranty for added confidence in long-term outdoor landscape lighting projects.

How to Choose a Suitable Transformer
Low voltage lighting systems require the use of a transformer to reduce the standard 120 volt power from ordinary household electricity to 12,13,14,and 15 volt needed to power low voltage fixtures.
The total wattage of all fixtures connected to one transformer must not exceed the wattage capacity of the transformer.
To determine the size of transformer needed in a low voltage lighting system, add up the wattage of all fixtures in system and then add 10% for low voltage cable and fixtures connections.
If the total load offixtures is too greateither divide the total load between 2 transformers or use a more powerful transformer.
Select a transformer with 20% higher capacity than total wattage of all fixtures in system, that allow you to add more fixtures later.

Malory G02 Grated Top In-Ground Well Light FAQ
01 Where does the G02 work best?
The G02 is a grated-top in-ground well light designed for upward illumination where you want the fixture to stay visually low-profile while reducing direct glare.
It works especially well for:
- tree trunks and lower canopies
- stone columns
- textured walls
- architectural details
- large shrubs
- landscape features where an above-ground spotlight would be too visible
Because the light exits through the grated brass cover, the effect is more controlled than an open-top well light.
02 What does the grated top actually do?
The solid brass grate serves two purposes.
First, it helps reduce direct view of the lamp, especially when the fixture is installed near walkways, seating areas, or other locations where people may look toward the light.
Second, the grate offers some protection against larger debris and small stones falling directly onto the lamp area.
It does not make the fixture completely debris-proof, so leaves, soil, mulch, and sediment around the fixture should still be cleared periodically.
03 Does the G02 produce less light than an open-top well light?
Yes, slightly.
The grate physically blocks part of the upward beam, so the G02 will normally produce a more restrained output than an equivalent open-face well light using the same lamp.
That trade-off is intentional: you get better glare control and a less exposed light source.
If your priority is maximum unrestricted uplighting, an open-top well light may be more suitable. If your priority is a cleaner, more shielded appearance, the G02 is the better choice.
04 Can the light direction be adjusted after installation?
Yes.
The G02 has an adjustable internal GU5.3 bi-pin socket, so the MR16 lamp can be tilted rather than pointing only straight upward.
This is useful when the fixture cannot be installed directly beneath the target.
For example, if the well light sits 12–24 inches away from a tree trunk or column, the lamp can be angled toward the target instead of wasting much of the beam vertically.
The adjustment range is intended for aiming the beam inside the fixture housing; it is not the same as the wide articulation available from an above-ground spotlight.
05 What type of bulb does the G02 use, and can I replace it later?
The G02 uses a replaceable GU5.3 MR16 low-voltage lamp.
That means the LED source is not permanently integrated into the fixture. If you want to change brightness, beam angle, or color temperature later, you can replace the MR16 lamp rather than replacing the entire well light.
This is particularly useful in landscape lighting systems because different applications often need different beam angles.
06 Should the G02 be installed directly under a tree?
Not necessarily.
Directly beneath the trunk can work, but slightly offset placement often produces a more dimensional result and makes better use of the adjustable socket.
For example, positioning the G02 a short distance away from the trunk and aiming the MR16 inward can reveal bark texture and create stronger shadow definition.
The exact distance depends on the size of the tree, beam angle, and desired illuminated height.
07 Can I use the G02 with an existing 12V landscape lighting transformer?
Yes, provided your system uses compatible low-voltage landscape lighting and the installed MR16 lamp is suitable for the transformer's output.
When adding the G02 to an existing system, also check total transformer load and voltage at the fixture location, especially on long cable runs.
A fixture can appear dim even when there is nothing wrong with the fixture if excessive voltage drop exists in the cable run.
08 Can I install the G02 where people or vehicles will pass over it?
The G02 is designed as a landscape well light, not as a vehicle-rated drive-over fixture.
It is best installed beside pathways, in planting beds, around trees, or in other landscaped areas rather than directly in vehicle tire paths or locations subject to repeated heavy loads.
09 What beam angle works best with the G02?
It depends on the target.
For a narrow tree trunk, column, or architectural feature, a narrower MR16 beam generally gives you more control and stronger vertical emphasis.
For a wider shrub, tree canopy, or wall area, a medium or wider beam can provide more even coverage.
Because the G02 already has a grated cover, using an unnecessarily wide beam can cause more light to strike the grate instead of reaching the target. For this fixture, controlled beam selection is more important than simply choosing the widest lamp available.
10 Can I install the G02 flush with the ground?
Yes. The fixture is intended to be recessed into the landscape so the brass top sits approximately flush with the surrounding finished surface.
However, the surrounding grade matters.
Avoid creating a depression around the fixture where rainwater can continuously collect. The area should allow water to drain away instead of turning the well light into a collection point.
11 Do I still need drainage beneath an in-ground light?
Yes.
This is one of the most important installation details for the G02.
A well light installed in compacted clay, a low spot, or an area that holds water can experience problems even when the fixture itself is weather-resistant.
A properly prepared installation should allow rainwater to move away from the housing. Gravel or another suitable drainage base is commonly used depending on the soil and landscape conditions.
Water resistance and site drainage solve two different problems; one does not replace the other.
12 Can the G02 be installed in mulch?
Yes, but do not allow mulch to cover the grated opening.
The brass top should remain exposed so heat, light, and water can move through the fixture as intended.
Mulch should also be kept from building up inside the grate because it can obstruct the beam and hold moisture against the fixture.
13 When should I choose the G02 instead of a regular spotlight?
Choose the G02 when you want:
- the fixture hidden at ground level
- reduced visibility of the lamp
- a cleaner daytime appearance
- controlled uplighting
- some shielding from direct glare
- a replaceable MR16 lamp
Choose an above-ground spotlight when you need greater aiming freedom, longer-distance projection, or maximum light output from the lamp.
14 When should I choose the G02 instead of an open-top well light?
The G02 is the better choice when the fixture may be visible from normal viewing angles and you want to soften direct glare.
An open-top well light is better when maximizing unobstructed output is more important than shielding the lamp.
That distinction is probably the most important reason to choose the G02 specifically: it is not simply another recessed light; the grated brass top changes how the fixture performs and where it is most useful.
