Description
Espiga sets three small opal white shades on slim arms above a slender anthracite post, so the light comes from just above planting height rather than from overhead. At 1.13m it sits low in a border or beside a path, and the spread arms carry the glow across a wider footprint than a single head manages. Each head takes a G9 capsule, and the opal shades soften the output into a wash rather than a hot point.
We would put it at the turn of a front path, along a driveway edge or at the top of a short flight of garden steps, where the route wants reading at a glance without a tall column pulling the eye. It is sealed against rain and hose spray, so it copes with an exposed front garden, and it suits anyone lighting a garden in stages rather than flooding the lot. It is not dimmable, so a switch or a timer on the supply is the simplest way to control it. Alone it marks a gate; repeated along a boundary it draws a line you can follow in the dark.
The anthracite finish is a dark grey that reads close to black against foliage and keeps quiet once the heads are lit. Wipe the shades clear of dust and pollen at the start of the season and again in autumn, and brush leaf litter away from the base so rain drains off freely. It carries a two year warranty. We stock this post in other head counts as well, all in the same anthracite, so a longer boundary can be lit with one family of fittings. Lamps are not included.

Frequently Asked
Which lamps does it take?
Three G9 lamps, up to 5W each. We would choose LED capsules for outdoor use, as they light instantly and draw very little.
How tall is it, and how wide do the heads reach?
It stands 1130mm tall, with the arms reaching 480mm across the widest point and 258mm the other way.
Is it suitable for full exposure to the weather?
Yes. It is rated IP65, so driving rain and hose washing are within its remit.
Can it be dimmed?
No, this one is non-dimmable. Pair it with a standard switch, a timer or a photocell for dusk-to-dawn running.
How should I clean the shades?
With the supply off and the lamps cool, wipe the opal shades with a damp cloth and dry them. Avoid solvents and abrasive creams, which will dull the anthracite finish.
Does it come with a warranty?
It carries a two year warranty.
