Zevi EL G 1GU10 Garden Spike Light IP54 GU10 - Grey

The Zevi EL G 1GU10 is a garden spike light that stakes directly into soil or a planted border to throw a focused beam where you want it. It takes a single GU10 lamp (PAR16 format) drawing up to 10W and runs straight from a 220-240V AC mains supply, so no separate transformer is needed. Known to many overseas buyers as a landscape spike light or pathway light, it is sized small at 100 x 100 x 140 mm and weighs 506 g, keeping it discreet among foliage while the head angle can be set to aim the light as the planting matures.

This fitting suits sheltered, covered outdoor positions: flower beds and borders under eaves, porch surrounds, carport edges and planted areas beneath a canopy. Its IP54 rating means it is splash-resistant and built for covered or sheltered spots rather than fully-exposed locations, so keep it clear of direct rain and away from any spot subject to water jets or standing water. Because it is a directional accent rather than an ambient ceiling fitting, think of its coverage in terms of beam throw, picking out a shrub, low wall or pathway edge, with the spread set by whichever GU10 lamp you fit. Grouping several along a border builds a layered run of light across the garden.

The body is aluminium alloy in a grey finish that sits quietly against soil and greenery, and the spike pushes firmly into the ground to hold the head steady. The adjustable head lets you tilt and rotate the beam after planting, and the GU10 holder accepts standard mains lamps so you can choose the wattage, colour temperature and beam angle to suit the spot. Rated IP54 and mounted on its integral ground spike, it is straightforward to reposition as a border changes. This spike sits within the wider Zevi EL range, which offers further outdoor spike options.

Is it suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, within limits. The Zevi EL G carries an IP54 rating, which makes it splash-resistant and suited to sheltered or covered outdoor spots such as planted borders under eaves, porches and carports. Keep it out of fully-exposed positions, direct water jets and standing water.

Can the beam angle be adjusted?

Yes. The head tilts and rotates on the spike so you can aim the light at a shrub, wall or path edge. This is useful as planting grows and you need to redirect the beam over time.

Does it need a transformer or driver?

No. It runs directly from a 220-240V AC mains supply, so no low-voltage transformer is required. It simply wires into your garden mains circuit and accepts a standard GU10 lamp.

Is a bulb included?

The fitting takes one GU10 lamp in the PAR16 format, drawing up to 10W. This lets you pick the wattage, colour temperature and beam angle that suit the spot. Check the listing details to confirm whether a lamp ships with this item.
