The fitting accepts a single GU10 bulb (sold separately) up to 35W and is supplied with both a ground spike and a wall mounting bracket, allowing it to be either staked into soil or fixed to vertical surfaces such as fence posts, rendered walls or timber cladding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IP65 rating protects the lamp holder and internal wiring from water jets and dust ingress, making it suitable for year-round exposure to UK weather including rain, snow and garden irrigation. The pre-wired 2m outdoor cable has a black sheath that blends into soil and lawn edges when laid, and the cable is long enough to reach from typical garden socket positions to planting beds, driveway edges or facade uplighting positions without needing an extension.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cylindrical body measures 72mm diameter and 130mm in length, with a tiltable head that adjusts on installation to direct the beam upwards onto walls, into trees, or across ground-level planting. The die-cast aluminium construction gives the fitting a 1.1kg weight that resists wind movement when wall-mounted and prevents the spike being pulled out of soft ground by cable tension. The matt black finish reduces reflections under security lighting and suits contemporary, industrial and minimalist garden schemes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimming capability depends on the GU10 bulb installed — most dimmable LED GU10s work with standard trailing-edge dimmers, but compatibility should be checked against the specific bulb model chosen. The fitting is Class I and requires an earth connection.\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\u003e72 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDie-cast aluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction 2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026amp; glass\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\u003eClass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP65\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePrimary Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e230V 50Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Technology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHalogen \/ LED Compatible\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGU10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLamp dependent\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax.
