Questions People Ask
Is this spike light suitable for permanent outdoor use?
Yes. It has an IP54 rating, which means it's protected against dust and splashing water, so it can stay in a garden border or lawn all year round.
Can the LED bulb be replaced if it stops working?
No. The 12W LED is integrated into the fixture rather than a separate bulb, so it can't be swapped out. It's designed to give years of use before it needs replacing as a whole unit.
Does this light need to be installed by an electrician?
Yes. It's a Class I fixture, which means it must be earthed and wired up by a qualified electrician rather than simply plugged in.
Is the Southbank spike light dimmable, and what colour is the light?
No, it runs at a fixed brightness of 757 lumens. The colour temperature is 5000K, which is a cool, crisp white rather than a warm glow.
