USTI SP 170x60 GU10 Garden Spike Light - Anthracite

The USTI SP is a twin-head garden spike light that stakes directly into soil or a planting border to graze light across the area around it. It runs on 220-240V AC mains and takes two GU10 PAR16 LED lamps, drawing up to 7W per head, so both beams can be aimed independently along a path or up towards planting. Gardeners in the US would recognise this format as a landscape spike or pathway light, a staked fitting that sits above ground rather than recessing into it.

Staked into the ground, this fitting suits borders, flower beds, gravel runs and the edges of a patio or driveway where you want to pick out planting, a low wall or a feature without a permanent fixed mount. Because both heads adjust, it works well close to a path for downward wash or angled upward to throw light onto shrubs and foliage. With an IP54 rating it is built for splash and sheltered positions such as a porch surround, carport edge or covered border, rather than spots fully exposed to driving rain or direct hose jets. Coverage depends on how the two heads are aimed, so think of it as targeted accent throw onto nearby planting and surfaces rather than broad area lighting.

The body is aluminium alloy in an anthracite finish, measuring 171 by 56 by 400mm including the spike and weighing 748g, which keeps it stable once pushed into firm soil. The IP54 rating handles splashing water from any direction, suiting the damp but sheltered garden positions described above. It runs straight from mains voltage and takes two GU10 lamps, so the colour temperature and beam are set by the lamps you fit. This spike sits within our wider Usti outdoor range, which includes further staked and ground fittings for matching a garden scheme.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, within reason. The IP54 rating makes it splash-resistant and suited to sheltered outdoor positions such as borders, planting beds and covered patio edges. Keep it clear of spots that take fully exposed driving rain, direct water jets or standing water.

Can the light angle be adjusted?

Yes. The USTI SP carries two heads that can be aimed independently, so you can angle one beam down onto a path and the other up onto shrubs or a wall. This makes it flexible for picking out planting or features close to where it is staked.

Does it run on mains or a transformer?

It runs directly from 220-240V AC mains, so no separate low-voltage transformer is needed. Each of the two GU10 heads draws up to 7W. Wiring should be carried out by a qualified electrician to the relevant outdoor regulations.

How do I clean it?

Wipe the anthracite aluminium body with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent, then dry it off. Avoid abrasive pads or pressure washers, which can mark the finish and force water past the IP54 seals. Make sure the power is off before cleaning around the GU10 lamps.
