GeoCeramica® in-lite ready: atmospheric garden lighting integrated into your patio
A beautiful patio deserves to be showcased, even in the evening hours. With GeoCeramica® in-lite ready, you can combine stylish ceramic garden tiles with subtly integrated garden lighting. The tiles are available to order with pre-cut recesses for in-lite spotlights. This eliminates the need for you to drill into the tiles yourself, allowing you to incorporate lighting directly into your garden design.
What is GeoCeramica® in-lite ready?
GeoCeramica® consists of a ceramic tile combined with a water-permeable, load-bearing base layer made of Stabikorn®. The ceramic top layer offers a luxurious appearance and is wear-resistant, colorfast, and low-maintenance. Thanks to its integrated base layer, GeoCeramica® is also relatively easy to install compared to traditional outdoor ceramic tiles. The "in-lite ready" version adds a practical feature: pre-cut recesses designed for in-lite low-voltage spotlights. These recesses are incorporated into the tiles at your preferred locations during the ordering process. This allows you to seamlessly integrate lighting into your patio, eliminating the need to drill holes into the ceramic yourself later on.
The benefits of integrated garden lighting
Garden lighting is more than just an atmospheric addition. Well-placed spotlights also help make walkways, changes in elevation, and the edges of a patio more visible—which is particularly useful when you are sitting outside or walking through the garden after sunset. With GeoCeramica® in-lite ready, you can coordinate various elements within your garden:
- An illuminated garden path: highlight the walkway with subtle points of light.
- An inviting patio: create a pleasant ambiance without the need for standalone fixtures on the paving.
- Lighting for elevation changes: enhance the visibility of steps or transitions between different areas of the garden.
- A cohesive garden design: align the placement of the spotlights with the paving pattern and the overall design of the patio.
By incorporating lighting into the design phase, you achieve a polished, professional finish where the paving and the lighting perfectly complement one another.
Which GeoCeramica® tiles are suitable for in-lite spotlights?
The recesses for in-lite lighting are available for different GeoCeramica® tile sizes and designs. MBI offers specific options for both 60 mm and 22 mm thick tiles. Which recess and tile design are suitable depends on the chosen size and the desired position of the spotlight. View the overview of cutout options. This way you can determine in advance where the light points will work best.
Make your terrace a nice place in the evening too
With GeoCeramica® in-lite ready you can let paving and garden lighting work together in one design. Whether you opt for a sleek garden path, a spacious terrace or a playful layout with different garden zones: integrated spotlights give the outdoor space extra atmosphere and help to accentuate important walking routes.

How do you order GeoCeramica® in-lite ready?
GeoCeramica® in-lite ready is available through authorized MBI dealers (Netherlands or Belgium) or distributors (rest of Europe). You can specify which GeoCeramica® tile you wish to order and which cutouts are required. The dealer can then place the order for this specific configuration with MBI.
When creating your design, consider the placement of the spotlights, the laying pattern, and the overall layout of the patio. Discuss your intended lighting choices in advance and verify that the selected spotlight fits the specified cutout. This ensures that the paving and lighting integrate seamlessly.
With this version, there is no need to drill holes into the GeoCeramica® tiles yourself, making it much easier to carefully incorporate lighting into your patio design.
