Description
Our solar spike light is a set of three slim black stakes, each crowned with a firework burst of fine wires tipped with tiny integrated LEDs. All three are wired to a single solar panel that stands on its own pointed spike, so the whole set charges from daylight, with no plug and no mains connection to arrange. The stakes are stainless steel in a black finish, and the set is 40cm high, 14cm wide and 100cm long, with a weight of 0.26KG, light enough to lift and move as one piece.
The burst heads are what make this design so cheerful. Every wire carries its own point of light, so each head reads as a scattered spray of sparks rather than one bright lamp, and three of them together form a small, airy cluster. It suits anyone who wants a decorative accent light that needs no socket nearby. Because the panel sits on a separate stake with its own lead, you can place it a little apart from the lights and give it the brightest position available. Like any solar panel, it does best in an open, sunny spot.
The stainless steel stakes have a practical advantage, because stainless steel resists rust. The set runs on one AA NiMH battery of 600mAh, at an operating voltage of 1.2V, which the panel tops up through the day, and an on/off switch lets you rest the lights whenever you do not need them. The installation instructions are available as a download, and they are worth a read before you set the stakes. Our advice is simple: give the panel the sunniest spot you have and leave the burst heads to do the rest.
