Spike Lights: the Garden Lighting that you can Move to Suit Your Mood
If you’re looking for simple, no-fuss garden lighting, spike lights are for you. Quite simply, the lamp is fixed to a long spike that can be pushed into the ground to provide light wherever you want it. If you change your mind, you simply pull up the spike and stab it into another part of the garden.
The simplicity of spike lights means they can be moved to highlight various garden features – we all know that our latest purchase is the current favourite – or you can move them around the garden as the seasons roll by. Enhance the texture of bare bark in the winter, pick out the fresh greens of spring, and illuminate the fiery foliage of autumn.
Use this type of lighting to demarcate pathways and drives, illuminate garden steps, in fact, use them anywhere that a pool of light would be useful or attractive.
The cabling that comes with spike lights is rubber sheathed and very flexible – and doesn’t have to be buried deeply, just lay it under mulch or topsoil, you can even hide it amongst the shrubs!
If your garden doesn’t have an external source of electricity, a linkable spike system or a waterproof junction box will be necessary, as will a waterproof transformer. A transformer that has a dimming facility will increase your lighting possibilities, as well lights that have tiltable heads.
So there you are, spike lights, garden lighting designed for no-fuss, simple installation.
