Palin 310mm Spike – 304 Stainless Steel 240v – IP44 Maximum Wattage 7w GU10 – Spike Light

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. 

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.
