Description
Our Solar Spike Light is a slim garden light on a black steel stake, topped by a lantern head wrapped in a band with a woven cane pattern in a warm brown tone. It stands 85cm tall and measures 12.5cm across, and 10cm of the stake goes into the ground, where it ends in a two-pronged foot. Inside, an integrated LED gives a warm white light at 3000K, so the glow sits comfortably alongside candles and lanterns rather than looking cold and blue. The IP44 rating means it is protected from splashing water, so it can live outdoors in a border or beside a path.
Because it runs on solar power, there are no cables to lay and no socket to find, so you can place it wherever the garden needs a little light: along a path, among the planting in a flower bed, beside a patio or at the edge of a lawn. The perforated band lets the light out through its small openings, and the cane pattern gives a relaxed, natural look that sits well with wooden furniture and planting. At 0.57KG it is light enough to move whenever you replant a border or want it nearer the table for an evening outdoors. It suits anyone who wants gentle light in the garden without any wiring.
The body is steel, finished in black, with the brown cane-pattern band around the head, and steel is a strong, rigid metal that suits a tall, slim stake like this one. The solar panel on top charges from daylight, and the light takes one AA NiMH battery of 200mAh, running at 1.2V. An on/off switch means you can switch it off whenever you prefer the garden dark. For the best results, set it in an open, sunny spot, where the panel can catch as much daylight as possible.
