Spike8 – Black 240v IP67 8w 2700k 640 Lumens 36 Degree Beam Angle Spotlight Available In Anthracite

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.
