Push-in ground spotlights that highlight paths, plants, trees, and architecture — easily repositioned as your garden grows and changes.
Lay the garden out run by run, fill each run with lights, and put the whole system in your basket — ready to order. The configurator picks the cable, sizes the driver against the fittings you have chosen, adds wireless switching if you want it, and draws you a plan of the finished garden.
Plug & play only — the range that installs without an electrician in the garden. Every other kind of spike light is in the grid above.
Ground spike lights are the most flexible way to light a garden. Pushed into soil, gravel, or borders, they can be repositioned in seconds — so your lighting scheme evolves with the planting rather than being fixed in place.
Everything you need to know about ground spike spotlights — how to choose, position, and power them to light paths, plants, and features across your garden and outdoor spaces.
Ground spike spotlights positioned along pathways and borders guide footsteps and improve safety at night, casting a gentle low-level glow that defines routes without overpowering the garden.
Aim adjustable spike spotlights upward at trees, sculptures, and architecture to create dramatic uplighting, shadows, and highlights that add depth to your outdoor space after dark.
Sealed integrated LED spike lights deliver bright, consistent illumination with very low running costs and a long lifespan, keeping maintenance to a minimum for years of use.
Wireless-control, plug & play spike kits install in minutes with no mains wiring — ideal for quickly lighting a border, patio, or feature and controlling it from an app or remote.
Non-integrated spike lights take GU10, MR16, ES/E27 and similar lamps, letting you swap bulbs to change brightness or colour temperature and extend the fitting's life.
Solar spike lights charge by day and light automatically at dusk with no cabling or running costs — a simple, eco-friendly option for gardens, paths, and landscapes.
Wide-beam flood spike lights cover larger areas of garden, driveway, or facade, and with tilt-and-swivel heads they can be aimed precisely for feature lighting or added security.
RGB and RGBW spike lights shift between warm whites and vibrant colours, letting you set relaxed everyday scenes or bold effects for parties and seasonal occasions.
Choose IP65 or higher for exposed garden spike lights so they withstand rain and jets of water. Match the IP rating to how sheltered — or exposed — the planting position is.
Space spikes evenly for a rhythm of light along a path, and use narrow beams to graze textured trees and walls or wider beams to wash shrubs and ground cover.
Mains-wired outdoor spike lighting should be installed by a qualified electrician under Part P of the Building Regulations. Our team is happy to advise — call 020 8874 2234 or email info@mr-resistor.co.uk for free guidance.
Spike lights offer a versatile way to achieve a range of lighting effects in outdoor spaces, enhancing both functionality and ambiance. Here are the different lighting effects you can achieve with ground spike spotlights:
Spike lights positioned along pathways provide practical illumination, guiding footsteps and enhancing safety during nighttime walks. The gentle, low-level light creates a welcoming atmosphere without overpowering the surroundings.
Use spike lights to accentuate specific features in your garden or landscape, such as statues, plants, or architectural details. By directing light upwards or downwards, you can create dramatic shadows and highlights, adding depth and visual interest to your outdoor environment.
Highlight focal points in your garden with spike lights to draw attention to key areas — a striking tree, a water feature, or a seating area — making them stand out amidst the darkness.
Positioning spike lights to shine upwards against walls, trees, or buildings creates a striking up-lighting effect. This technique enhances textures and architectural elements, casting shadows and adding a sense of depth to the outdoor area.
Install spike lights higher up and angle them downwards to create a gentle wash of light over larger areas. This is ideal for illuminating flower beds, shrubs, or ground covers with subtle yet effective lighting that enhances the natural beauty of plants.
Some spike lights offer colour-changing capabilities, allowing you to create dynamic lighting effects — from soft, soothing colours for relaxation to vibrant hues for festive occasions.
Use spike lights positioned behind objects such as plants or sculptures to create striking silhouettes against walls or fences. This technique adds an artistic touch and can transform ordinary elements into captivating visual features.
By leveraging these different lighting effects, you can transform your outdoor space into a beautifully illuminated and inviting environment, tailored to suit your preferences and enhance the overall ambiance of your home.
