Description
This is the medium ground spike from our outdoor range: a plain aluminium stem finished in matt black, tapered to a point at one end and made to carry a garden light above it. It stands 21cm tall, which is enough to lift a small fitting clear of low planting without leaving the metal on show. There is no wiring and no lamp within it; the light it supports does all of that, and this simply gives that light somewhere to stand.
It is what we suggest when a garden light needs to stand in a border, a bed, a gravel run or a large planter rather than sit on a hard surface or a wall. That makes it useful for lighting a path edge, a shrub, a specimen tree or the line of a lawn, and for anyone who likes to move the lighting about as the planting fills out through the year. The black finish reads as a shadow among stems and mulch, so the eye goes to the pool of light and not the hardware. We stock it alongside the outdoor fittings it partners, so the two can be ordered together.
The body is iron, slim but stiff enough not to flex once it is upright, and the black coating is sealed well enough to stay outdoors through a wet winter. Keeping it right is a small job: hose the soil off when you lift it, wipe it dry, and store it somewhere airy over the colder months if a bed is being replanted. It carries a one year warranty. If your light is going on paving, decking or another firm surface, the same range also offers a flat ground plate in matching black aluminium, which does the same job without breaking the ground.

Frequently Asked
What is it made from?
Aluminium throughout, with a black finish. It is light to handle and does not rust.
How big is it?
It is the medium size, standing 21cm tall, with a slim profile that sits easily between plants.
Can it stay outside all year?
Yes. It is rated IP68, so wet soil and winter weather are not a problem for it.
Does it come with a light?
No. It is an accessory that supports a garden fitting, so the light is bought separately.
How should I clean it?
Rinse off soil with plain water, then wipe it dry. Avoid abrasives, which will mark the black coating.
Is there a version for paved areas?
Yes. A flat ground plate in the same black aluminium is offered in this range for firm surfaces.
