Description
This solar spike light is a slim grey cylinder, 21cm tall and 6.5cm across, with a textured, stone-like finish on its plastic body. A small solar panel is set into the top cap, a frosted plastic band carries the glow, and a black spike at the base pushes 8.5cm into the ground. The light source is an integrated solar LED of 0.06W. The LED is not replaceable, so there is never a bulb to buy or change, and at that wattage this is a soft marker light rather than a bright lamp, made to pick out a spot after dark.
The panel charges from daylight, and as general guidance it does best in an open, sunny spot where nothing casts shade across the top cap. Its narrow body takes up very little room, so it slips easily between plants, and a few set in a line can mark a route or the corner of a step without any fuss. By day the grey, stone-like texture looks natural rather than shiny, so it blends quietly with greenery until the LED is lit. Because it needs no mains power, you can lift it and move it whenever a different spot needs a little light.
Both the body and the shade are plastic, which keeps the light to a packed weight of 0.198KG, so it is easy to carry and reposition. An on/off switch lets you choose when it works, and the stated run time is 6 hours. It uses an AAA NiMH battery of 300mAh. Because it is round, the grey body and frosted band look the same from every side, so it never needs turning to face the right way. The installation instructions are available as a download, so you can read through the set-up before you pick its spot.
