A Simple Spike Light for Borders and Beds
The Southbank is a compact garden spike light in grey polycarbonate, designed to push straight into borders, beds and planting to pick out shrubs, trees and features once it gets dark.
Materials and Finish
The body is made from ABS and polycarbonate, finished in a practical grey that blends into planting rather than standing out against it.
How It Works
It takes a GU10 LED bulb, which isn't included, so you can choose the beam angle and warmth that suits your garden. The head sits on a small pivoting bracket so you can angle it towards whatever you want to light, before pushing the integral spike into the ground. It isn't dimmable. Rated IP44, it's built to cope with rain and damp outdoor conditions, and as with any outdoor electrical fitting, installation by a registered NICEIC electrician is recommended.
Where It Works Best
Push it into a border, flower bed or strip of planting to uplight foliage, small trees or architectural plants, or group a few together to mark out a path or the edge of a lawn.

Questions People Ask
Can the Southbank be left outside all year round?
Yes. It's rated IP44 and made from ABS and polycarbonate, so it's designed to stay outdoors and cope with rain and general weather.
Does it come with a bulb?
No. It takes a GU10 LED bulb, sold separately so you can choose the brightness and beam width you want.
Can I point the light in different directions?
The head sits on a small bracket, and the unit pushes into soil on its integral spike, so you can position it wherever you want an accent of light in a border or bed.
How big is the Southbank?
It's a compact fitting, approximately 16cm wide with a maximum height of 32cm once it's pushed into the ground.
Is it safe to install myself?
This is a Class II, double insulated fitting. We recommend that all outdoor electrical installations, including this one, are carried out by a registered NICEIC electrician.
