Pathfinder Bi-Directional LED Light 4000K
ALL LED APF032AL/02/40 – 1W IP65 Brushed Aluminium Marker Light
The Pathfinder Bi-Directional LED Light 4000K is a compact recessed lighting solution designed to illuminate two opposing directions from a single fitting. Manufactured by ALL LED, the APF032AL/02/40 combines crisp 4000K cool white illumination with a modern matte brushed aluminium finish, creating a discreet yet effective lighting solution for pathways, steps and architectural landscaping.
Unlike the unidirectional Pathfinder model, this version distributes light to both sides, helping define pedestrian routes and surrounding surfaces. Its integrated 1W LED, frosted glass diffuser and anti-glare design provide controlled low-level illumination, while the IP65-rated construction offers protection for suitable indoor and outdoor installations.

Bi-Directional Illumination for Walkways and Outdoor Spaces
The Pathfinder Bi-Directional LED Light 4000K is particularly useful for installations requiring illumination on both sides of a recessed fitting. Its dual-direction arrangement allows light to extend along opposing sections of a walkway or across adjacent paving, creating a balanced low-level lighting effect.
This design is suitable for residential gardens, entrance paths, stair landings and commercial pedestrian areas. Multiple fittings can be positioned at intervals to produce a coordinated lighting scheme without relying on larger surface-mounted luminaires.
The 4000K colour temperature provides a clean, neutral white appearance that complements modern paving, concrete, stone and contemporary architectural finishes.
Matte Brushed Aluminium with Frosted Glass
The ALL LED APF032AL/02/40 features a slim brushed aluminium exterior that integrates discreetly into suitable recessed surfaces. Its understated appearance makes it a practical choice for projects where the lighting hardware should remain visually unobtrusive.
The integrated frosted glass diffuser softens the LED output, helping distribute illumination in both directions while reducing unwanted glare.
This Bi-Directional LED Marker Light is designed to provide subtle guidance and accent lighting rather than broad-area illumination, making it particularly effective as part of a coordinated architectural lighting installation.
IP65 Protection for Indoor and Outdoor Use
With an IP65 rating, the Pathfinder fitting provides protection against dust ingress and water jets. When installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions, it is suitable for appropriately designed interior and exterior lighting applications.
Typical applications include:
- Garden pathways and pedestrian walkways
- Outdoor steps and entrance areas
- Contemporary patios and paved surfaces
- Commercial pedestrian access routes
- Decorative architectural and landscape lighting
- Recessed low-level guidance lighting
2-Tonne Drive-Over Rating with AGL/MS032 Mounting Sleeve
The Pathfinder Bi-Directional LED Light 4000K can be installed in suitable ground-level locations where occasional vehicle movement may occur.
When correctly fitted using the manufacturer’s AGL/MS032 32mm mounting sleeve, the light can withstand drive-over loads of up to 2 metric tonnes, subject to the manufacturer’s installation requirements.
IMPORTANT: The AGL/MS032 mounting sleeve is sold separately and is required to achieve the specified drive-over rating.
The fitting is supplied with a 1m pre-wired cable. Suitable waterproof electrical connections and appropriate installation methods must be used in outdoor environments.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – SERIES WIRING ONLY
WARNING: INCORRECT CONNECTIONS CAN PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE LED MARKER LIGHTS!
MULTIPLE LED FITTINGS MUST BE CONNECTED IN SERIES – NEVER IN PARALLEL.
The ALL LED APF032AL/02/40 operates at 350mA constant current and requires a compatible external LED driver. The driver is sold separately and is not included with the fitting.
- Connect multiple LED marker lights in series, following the manufacturer’s wiring instructions.
- Never connect the fittings in parallel.
- Never connect the LED fittings directly to a 230V mains supply.
- Use a compatible 350mA constant current LED driver with the appropriate output voltage and power range.
- Ensure the total number of connected fittings is within the driver’s specified operating limits.
- Switch off the power supply before installing or modifying any connections.
- All connections must be completed correctly before the driver is energised.
IMPORTANT: Always check the manufacturer’s installation instructions before connecting or powering the fittings. Incorrect wiring or the use of an unsuitable driver may cause permanent LED damage.
