Description
The Rosalba is a set of six solar spike lights in black, each a slim round post with a clear ribbed diffuser beneath a cap that carries a small solar panel. The body pairs stainless steel with plastic, and every light stands 31cm tall and just 4.7cm across, with a pointed spike that sits 10cm deep in the ground. Inside is an integrated LED, so there is no bulb to source or replace. The IP44 rating settles the main question: each light is protected from splashing water, so the set lives outdoors in a garden.
Because each light charges from daylight and needs no cable, you can place the set wherever it does the most good: along a garden path, at the edge of a lawn, through a flower border or beside a driveway. As general guidance, a solar panel does best in an open, sunny spot, so choose places clear of deep shade from hedges, trees or walls. Six matching posts make a tidy line, and their slim build keeps them discreet among grass and plants during the day. It is a sensible choice for anyone who wants a lit route to the front door or the patio without running a cable from the house.
Each light has an on/off switch, so you can switch any of the six off whenever it is not needed. The lights run at 1.2V on 2/3 AAA NiMH batteries rated 100mAh, and the set takes six of them. Stainless steel resists rust, and the black finish sits quietly against dark soil and green planting. It weighs 0.73KG, so the lights are easy to lift and move as the garden changes through the year. The installation instructions come as a download, so setting out all six is a quick job.
