DASTO GU10 Garden Spike Light - Anthracite

The DASTO is a garden spike light that pushes straight into soil to throw a directed beam across planting, low walls and garden features. It takes a GU10 lamp, so the output and colour temperature can be matched to the look you want by choosing the bulb, whether that is a tight accent beam to graze a tree trunk or a wider wash over a border. The fitting head adjusts on its mount, letting the light be aimed up a wall or along a path once the spike is set in the ground.

Spike lighting like this suits flower beds, shrub borders, gravel edges and the base of small trees, where it can be repositioned as planting grows and the scheme changes through the seasons. Coverage is best thought of in terms of throw and beam direction rather than a room area: a narrow GU10 lamp picks out a single specimen, while a wider beam grazes a fence panel or low wall for a softer effect. With an IP44 rating it is built for splash and rain in sheltered, covered positions such as a porch surround, a planted veranda edge or a spot under eaves, so keep it clear of fully exposed ground that sees direct downpour or standing water.

Construction is geared to outdoor border use, with the anthracite finish blending into soil and foliage so the fixture stays discreet by day. It measures 70 x 70 x 230 mm and weighs 898 g, with the long lower section forming the spike that anchors it upright in soft ground. The fitting runs on 220-240V AC mains and is supplied without a lamp, so a GU10 bulb is specified separately to set brightness and tone. Niori stocks GU10 lamps in warm and cool white alongside this fitting to complete the install.

Is this garden spike light suitable for outdoor use?

It carries an IP44 rating, which makes it splash and rain resistant in sheltered, covered outdoor positions such as borders under eaves or beside a porch. Keep it out of fully exposed ground that takes direct downpour, water jets or standing water. It is staked into soil rather than mounted on a wall or recessed.

Can the beam angle be adjusted once it is in the ground?

Yes. The head adjusts on its mount so you can aim the light up a wall, into a shrub or along a path after pushing the spike into the soil. This lets you fine-tune the effect on site and re-aim it later if the planting changes.

Is a bulb included?

No, the fitting is supplied without a lamp and takes a GU10 bulb, which is bought separately. This lets you pick the brightness, beam width and colour temperature to suit each spot in the garden. We stock GU10 lamps in warm and cool white to pair with it.

How do I clean the spike light?

Switch it off and let the lamp cool, then wipe the head and lens with a soft damp cloth to clear soil splash, leaf debris and dust. Avoid harsh solvents and do not aim a pressure washer at it, as that can exceed its IP44 splash rating. A periodic wipe keeps the beam clear and bright.
