Compact spike light, Black powder coat, mains 240v, GU10, IP65
up lighting shrubs and small trees and has proved a popular choice for landscape lighting. Black powder-coated aluminium
is a traditional recessive colour choice for garden settings. 240v models utilise GU10 lamps which means there is no
need for a transformer. E4132N is an LED spot light that has a flush glass lens which sheds water and leaf litter.
garden at night.
240v Spike spotlights need their own circuit from an existing or new fuse box. The box must be protected by a residual
current device (RCD) and controlled with a double-pole isolating switch. As a general rule of thumb, the armoured
cables need to be run underground- at least 450mm with weatherproof junction boxes. Use an electrician qualified
under ‘Part P’ building regulations to install any mains electricity outdoors who will certify the work properly.Â
The spotlight body is made from solid metal tube and is mounted on an adjustable knuckle joint and 25cm round rod mounting
spike. Unscrewing the front bezel makes it easy to change the lamp without tools.
2 metres of 3 core cable fitted for connection into a weatherproof junction box.
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.
Lamp Colour (Kelvins)Â
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.

All exterior lighting products on our website have an IP rating which is explained further in our Technical Help/Products section but
in simple terms the IP rating is 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
as the weakest point is always cable joints. All joints must be made 100% water tight and this can be done using IP68
inline connectors, waterproof junction boxes which are then filled with a resin or 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.
