Compact Spike Spotlight – 240v – Rustic Brown – GU10, IP65

The E4172N is an adjustable 240v garden spike spotlight typically used for outdoor lighting; garden features, focal points, small
trees or shrub borders. Rustic brown powder-coated aluminium is a traditional recessive colour choice for garden settings.
240v LED uplight utilising GU10 lamps and negating the need for a transformer. This garden spike light has a flush glass
lens which sheds water and leaf litter. Choose a 3w or 5w warm white LED lamp to uplight pergola columns to completely change the ambience of your 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. 

Available in 12v or 240v and choice of 4 finishes, Rustic Brown, Black, Copper and Stainless Steel.       

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.

The exterior dimensions are 111mm x 63mm not including 250mm spike.

Comes pre-wired with  2m of 3 core rubber cabling.

Maximum size of GU10 72mm length not including pins.

Beam distribution 15 degrees to 110 degrees.

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.

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.
