Purchasing advice for ground spike lights
Energy-efficient accent lighting for your garden
Ground spotlights offer you a flexible and stylish way to let your garden shine in a new light. Imagine how soft columns of light set the scene for your plants, paths and patio areas and create an inviting atmosphere for balmy summer evenings. Whether you want to emphasize individual areas or create a harmonious overall picture - ground spike lights are easy to place and require little effort. The variety of models, materials and light colors allows you to design your garden lighting exactly as you want it.
Flexibility thanks to cable and solar ground spike lights
If you prefer earth spike lights with cable, this variant offers you stable and constant lighting that is perfect for longer periods of use, such as cozy barbecue evenings or convivial garden parties. It is important to pay attention to the cable length so that the lights can be optimally positioned in the garden. Ground spike lights with cable can be easily connected to outdoor sockets and are therefore always ready for use without you having to worry about sufficient sunlight. Many models are also linkable so that you can illuminate larger areas easily and uniformly.
Many models are equipped with modern LED technology, which ensures a long lifespan and low energy consumption. Particularly popular are solar garden lights with ground spike, which work completely independently of the power grid and recharge in an environmentally friendly way during the day. Whether for illuminating paths, plants or decorative elements - ground spike lights offer you a wide range of options for designing your garden in an energy-efficient and stylish way. Opt for this uncomplicated solution that impresses in terms of both design and functionality.
Ground spike spotlight with motion detector - more safety and convenience
Ground spike lights with integrated motion detector offer a practical solution for anyone who wants to save energy and at the same time ensure greater safety in their garden. Thanks to the motion detector, the light only switches on when it is really needed - for example, when you enter the garden or receive guests. This saves electricity and conserves the battery in solar-powered models.
When choosing ground spike lights with motion detectors, also remember to consider the appropriate range and sensitivity of the sensor. Some models offer an adjustable range so that the lights are only activated within a desired radius - ideal for entrance areas, garden paths or to illuminate specific areas.
The perfect choice of material and protection class: robust quality for outdoor use
For outdoor use, choosing the right material and the right protection class is crucial to ensure that your ground spike lights can withstand weather conditions in the long term. Stainless steel** is particularly popular, as it not only has an elegant look, but is also extremely durable and corrosion-resistant. Stainless steel ground spike lights are easy to maintain and defy rain, wind and sunlight - a guarantee for longevity and style in your garden.
In addition to the material, the protection class (IP protection class) plays a decisive role. For outdoor ground spike lights, at least protection class IP44 should be selected. This type of protection means that the lights are protected against foreign bodies from a size of 1 mm and against splash water from all directions. Ideal if the lights are placed unprotected in your garden and are sometimes exposed to rain or damp weather. Higher protection ratings such as IP65 or IP67 offer additional protection against strong water jets or even temporary submersion - particularly recommended if the lights are located near water points or ponds.
The right protection class for your ground spotlights
As with any other outdoor light, you must also ensure that the ground spike light has an appropriate protection rating. Because surely you don't want to bring them in every time it rains, right? As ground spike lights are usually relatively unprotected on the ground, they should have at least protection class IP 44 - more is of course always possible, but less should not be.
With protection class IP44, your luminaire is protected against foreign bodies that are larger than one millimeter and also against splash water. Please refer to the following table to find out what else is possible in terms of protection class:
| 0 | No protection |
| 1 | Protected against solid foreign bodies ≥ 50 mm |
| 2 | Protected against solid foreign bodies ≥ 12.5 mm |
| 3 | Protected against solid foreign bodies ≥ 2.5 mm |
| 4 | Protected against solid foreign bodies ≥ 1 mm |
| 5 | Dust-protected |
| 6 | Dustproof |
| 0 | No protection |
| 1 | Protected against vertically impinging dripping water |
| 2 | Protected against dripping water at an angle |
| 3 | Protected against water spray |
| 4 | Protected against splash water |
| 5 | Protected against water jets |
| 6 | Protected against strong water jets |
| 7 | Protected against temporary submersion |
| 8 | Protected against permanent submersion |
| 9 | Protected against high pressure & steam jet cleaners |
The combination of robust material such as stainless steel and a suitable protection rating such as IP44 ensures that your ground spike lights not only look good, but also easily withstand the challenges of outdoor use.
Sets and combination options for harmonious garden lighting
Ground spike light sets offer an uncomplicated way to harmoniously illuminate larger garden areas. Whether set of two or six - with these practical combinations you can create a uniform light image and often save money compared to buying them individually. Sets with separate solar modules are particularly practical, as they can power several lights at the same time and thus provide lighting independent of electricity.
Such sets can be used to illuminate paths, patios or larger garden areas efficiently and stylishly. This not only gives you more light, but also a visually uniform design for atmospheric evenings outdoors.
