The spike body is moulded from black polycarbonate with a 45mm diameter socket at the top to accept compatible spotlight fittings, and a tapered 170mm shaft that pushes into the ground to provide a stable mounting point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for garden lighting installations where spotlights need to be positioned within planted areas or lawns rather than fixed to walls or hard surfaces, the spike allows lights to be repositioned seasonally to highlight different planting or trees. The 45mm socket accepts Knightsbridge GUSPBK spotlights and other compatible models with matching diameter bases. A hex bolt at the top secures the spotlight fitting into the socket once positioned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polycarbonate construction resists cracking in freeze-thaw cycles and UV degradation from prolonged sun exposure. The 170mm depth provides stability in most garden soils, though heavy clay or compacted ground may require pre-drilling a pilot hole with a metal rod. The black finish blends into soil and mulch during daylight, keeping the mounting hardware visually recessive when the lights are off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e45 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e170 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8993\/3835\/files\/products_2716922_datasheet.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eProduct Specification Sheet\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat spotlights is this spike compatible with?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 45mm diameter socket fits Knightsbridge GUSPBK outdoor spotlights and other compatible models with matching base diameters.
