Description
The Janarne is a solar ball spike light for the garden: a white plastic globe sits on a black plastic collar, carried on a slim black stem that ends in a pointed ground stake. It stands 40cm tall and measures 20cm in diameter, so it reads clearly in a border without towering over low planting. The light source is an integrated solar LED of 0.2W with a colour temperature of 3000K, giving a warm glow through the opal globe. Rated IP44, it is protected from splashing water, so it can live outdoors in a bed, a border or beside a path.
Because it runs on sunlight rather than mains power, it suits anyone who wants light in the garden without any wiring. Push the stake into soft ground along a path, at the edge of a lawn or among low hedging, and the round globe marks the way after dark. Several in a line give a gentle, even rhythm along a border or the edge of a pond, and the black stems all but disappear into the planting at night, leaving the globes to float. The panel charges from daylight, and as general guidance it does best in an open, sunny spot rather than under trees or in the shade of a wall.
Both the body and the shade are plastic, and it weighs 0.427KG packed, so it is easy to lift and move around the garden. The LED is built in and not replaceable, so there is no bulb to buy or change. It has a run time of 6 to 8 hours and takes an AAA, NiMH, 600mAh battery. An on/off switch lets you keep it dark on evenings when you would rather the garden stayed unlit. The installation instructions come as a download, so it is worth a quick read before the stake goes into the ground.
