AlvaLED – Black 240v Powder Coated Aluminium IP65 GU10 Max 20w Spike Spotlight

The AlvaLED Adjustable GU10 Spike Light is a smart and modern garden spotlight. Not only does the spotlight adjust over 180
degrees, it will also mount in various locations. Mount into soft ground with the supplied 245mm spike, or surface mount
with the attached U bracket. The GU10 bulb holder results in multiple options for the LED lamp used (sold separately),
such as lumen output, wattage and colour temperature.

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 ALVAGU10T
• Cocoa anodised finish – designed to look very similar to polished copper at a fraction of the price – Code ALVAGU10C

Lamp Colour (Kelvins) 

The colour of a lamp is defined as a measurement called kelvins. A standard GLS light bulb in your house would be 2,700 kelvins
which is in the warm colour spectrum and a lamp with 5,000 kelvins would be at the very cold white spectrum.

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.  Mains 240v cable
will have less joints than a low voltage installation but care must be taken with the cable runs. Cabling should be Rubber
Butyl and not PVC. PVC leads to capillary action over time especially with UV degradation.

All exterior lights must be installed by a certified NIC EIC electrician and should be signed off by an electrician with
Part P certification. There are a selection of waterproof jointing kits and boxes available on this web site.
