Description
The Stono Milk USB is a rechargeable garden spike light that pushes a soft warm-white glow from a round Ø230 mm milky diffuser. It draws up to 1W from an onboard 3.7V 18650 cell for up to 30 lumens at a cosy 2500K, with the spike staked into soil to lift the light just above border level. Landscape spike lighting like this is sometimes called a pathway light in the US, where it marks the edge of a route rather than flooding it.
The fitting suits flower beds, planted borders, low hedging and the edges of a patio or sheltered path, picking out greenery and footing with a low, glare-free wash. Because it is accent rather than ambient lighting, think of its reach as a gentle pool around the head rather than a measured coverage area. It works well in clusters down a border to guide the eye, and the cordless USB-charged design means there are no cables to bury or trail across a lawn.
Built from plastic on a round body, the Stono Milk USB carries an IP54 rating, so it copes with splashes and sits happily in covered or sheltered outdoor spots; keep it clear of direct water jets and standing water. It charges over USB and runs on the internal 18650 battery, so no separate driver or transformer is needed. The light is not dimmable and is rated for 25,000 hours at a fixed 2500K warm tone, with the spike mount its only fixing method.

Frequently Asked
Is it suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, within reason. Its IP54 rating means it resists splashes and is fine in covered or sheltered positions such as a planted border or the edge of a patio. Keep it clear of direct water jets, full exposure to heavy weather and any standing water.
Does it need a transformer or mains supply?
No. The Stono Milk USB runs on a rechargeable 3.7V 18650 battery and charges over USB, so there is no transformer, driver or mains wiring to install. That makes it easy to reposition along a border whenever you wish.
Is a bulb included?
Yes. The LED is integrated into the fitting and is not a replaceable bulb, so there is nothing extra to buy. It is fixed at a warm 2500K tone and rated for around 25,000 hours of use.
How do I clean it?
Wipe the milky diffuser and plastic body with a soft, damp cloth and avoid abrasive cleaners that could dull the finish. Keep the spike free of soil build-up so the light sits straight in the border.
