Environmental impact

Care should be taken for the environment and local wildlife to maintain the ecological balance. Insects, bats, wildlife can
all be affected by light pollution. The warmer colour spectrum of 2,700 Kelvins does not interfere with insects
and general wildlife as much as the blue colour spectrum of light around 6,000 kelvins which can disrupt their normal
night-time activity. This also applies to bats where an anti-glare light fitting works better as well as reducing the
overall light pollution in the area. You must also be mindful of your neighbours and the effect your lighting can have
on them and shining a flood light into their windows at night will cause them distress. Try to keep the light in a downward
position and local to the area you want to illuminate and even if you want to illuminate tall trees it can be done in
a sympathetic way by placing a ground buried or surface spike flood light directly under the trees to illuminate the
canopy. Some light fittings also have an anti-glare shield fitted to reduce light pollution.

Stirrup bracket for mounting on walls or an optional ground spike. 20mm IP68 gland provided for connection to mains supply.
HO7-RNF 3 core rubber cable recommended for connection to armoured supply cable via a separate weatherproof junction
box or underground joint kit (not supplied).

Using a single RCD for large numbers of 240v fittings is not recommended due to the risk of nuisance tripping. We advise the use of separate RCD protection for each circuit and a maximum of 12 fittings per RCD. Where a garden lighting installation of more than 12 spike mount or recessed lights per circuit is proposed, we suggest the installation of 12v units with transformers, which results in a significantly higher fault tolerance and reliability in the total installation.
