AlvaLED – Black 12v Powder Coated Aluminium IP65 MR16 Max 20w Spike Spotlight – Plug & Play

The AlvaLED Adjustable MR16 Spike Light is a smart, modern plug and play spotlight. The spotlight adjusts over 180 degrees
and will also mount in various locations. Mount into soft ground with the supplied 245mm spike, or surface mount
with the attached U bracket. The MR16 bulb holder allows multiple choices for the LED lamp used (sold separately),
such as lumen output, wattage and colour temperature options.

Three different finishes available:

• Classic black powder coated finish – popular choice, looks great in daylight and disappears in darkness
• Modern titanium silver anodised finish – lightweight alternative to contemporary stainless steel – Code ALVAMR16T
• Cocoa anodised finish – designed to look similar to polished copper at a fraction of the price – Code ALVAMR16C

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.
