Small Ground Spike 17cm Long - Black

Description

DescriptionA ground spike is the quiet part of any garden lighting scheme, and this is the small one. It is made from iron and finished in black, so it sinks into soil, bark and gravel rather than catching the eye. Everything about it is modest: a slim tapered stem, a short head, and so little weight that you barely notice it in the hand.
We think of it as the piece that lets a garden scheme move. Planting shifts through the year, and a spiked light can follow it: forward while a border is still low, further back once the shrubs fill out. It suits anyone lighting a specimen tree, a hedge or a run of low planting who would rather not settle on one position for good, and it works just as well in a deep pot or a tub as it does in open ground. There is nothing electrical here. It simply holds a light steady, and the fitting it pairs with brings its own flex and lamp.
Aluminium is the right material for the job, strong enough to take a season outdoors and light enough that it adds almost nothing to the fitting above. The black finish keeps it out of sight once planting closes in around it. Care amounts to very little: brush or rinse the soil and grit away whenever you lift it, dry it off, and put it away clean at the end of summer if the light is coming indoors. It carries a one year warranty. Where you are working over a hard surface such as a path, a terrace or decking, we also stock the ground plate in matching black aluminium from the same range, and the outdoor lamps and pendants in that range are worth a look alongside it.

Frequently AskedWhat size is this ground spike?
It is the small option, 170mm long with a 40mm head, so it stays hidden in most planting.[
Is it wired or electrical in any way?
No. It is a non-electric accessory that supports a light. All power, flex and lamp come from the fitting you use with it.
What is it made from?
Aluminium with a black finish. It weighs only 0.045kg, which is why it adds so little load to a small garden light.
Can I use it in gravel or in a planter?
Yes. It works in a border, in gravel and in a deep pot or tub of compost, wherever the light needs to stand upright.
What if I want to place a light on a path or decking?
We stock the matching ground plate in black aluminium for hard surfaces, which suits those spots better than a spike.
How long is the warranty?
One year.
