AlvaLED – Aluminium IP65 12v Max Wattage MR16 Twin Headed Spike Spotlight – Black/Silver/Cocoa/Green – Plug & Play

The AlvaLED Adjustable 12v Twin Spike Light is a smart, modern Plug & Play garden spotlight. As well as this Plug and
Play version with MR16 bulb holders, there is also a 240v in-built LED version and 240v GU10 bulb holder option. Two
adjustable spotlight heads attach to the twin adaptor and will shine in almost any direction to create various visual
lighting effects. Both spotlights in the same position will generate a stronger, more concentrated beam. Position the
heads at different angles to create dramatic up-lighting in two directions. Each spotlight head is also adjustable over
180 degrees. The twin adaptor attaches to the substantial, 400mm pole of the same finish. This attaches to the 4 fin
ground spike which provides extra stability with minimal movement in soft ground. This is particularly beneficial for
adding height in areas of high planting or exposed areas which require a particularly sturdy mount.

As each fitting has an MR16 bulb holder, the choice of LED lamps one can use is many. Specifications such as lumen output,
wattage and colour temperature are interchangeable to create the desired effect.

Three different finishes of this 12v Twin Spike Light are available to suit all decorative concepts. Classic black is a popular,
powder coated finish. This looks great in daylight and disappears in darkness. Both the titanium silver and cocoa copper
finishes are anodised aluminium, which are extremely weatherproof. The titanium colour looks very similar to contemporary
stainless steel and the cocoa finish to copper. Although they look very similar and use high quality anodised aluminium,
they are a fraction of the price. New addition is a Garden Green finish.

This 12v fitting takes 2 x MR16 LED bulbs (not supplied) and comes supplied with 2m of 2 core 0.75mm HO5RN-F cable and a 4 fin aluminium anchor spike for more robust stability.  The pole length is 400mm x 25mm diameter and the spike length is 165mm.  The twin adaptor length is 120mm. Head length is 135mm (fully extended) and the Head diameter is 60mm.

Choosing the style of a product is only part of the equation you must also think of where that product will be used and how
it will be installed. All exterior lighting products on our web site have an IP rating appropriate to each light fitting
and its intended application and is therefore fit for purpose. Water ingress is the enemy for outdoor lighting and the
products supplied are only as good as the installation. The weakest point is always cable joints. All joints must be
made 100% watertight and this can be done using IP68 cable connectors and/or waterproof junction boxes which are then
filled with a re-enterable liquid gel mix. All joints where possible should be made above ground for easy access and
reduced water ingress. When installing ground buried lights adequate drainage systems should be put in place especially
in clay-based soil areas. If possible, use ground surface spike lights rather than a buried light.  Care must be
taken with the cable runs and not to install transformers more than 30 metres away from the furthest fitting to avoid
any voltage drop. Cabling should be 2 core Rubber HO5RN-F or HO7RN-F and not PVC. PVC leads to capillary action over
time especially with UV degradation. Always check the correct type of transformer you need for your fittings. We recommend
wiring in parallel with Toroidal AC and LED DC drivers. But when using Milliamp mA LED drivers, they should always be
wired in series. Plug and Play kits are simply a case of daisy chaining the fittings via plug and play junction boxes,
connectors and extension cables using a 2-pin plug arrangement. These Plug and Play fittings should only be used for
small domestic projects due to voltage drop over 5 metres.
