GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions should be read carefully and retained after installation by the end user for
future reference and maintenance.
These instructions should be used to aid installation of the following product:
SPIKEW
SAFETY
• This product must be installed in accordance with the latest edition of the IEE Wiring Regulations (BS7671)
and current Building Regulations. If in any doubt, consult a qualified electrician
• Please isolate mains prior to installation or maintenance
• Check the total load on the circuit (including when this luminaire is fitted) does not exceed the rating of the
circuit cable, fuse or circuit breaker
• Please note the IP (Ingress Protection) rating of this product when deciding the location for installation
• This product is Class III
• This product is IP65 rated
INSTALLATION
Note - If this product is being used in conjunction with an external PIR or sensor, please confirm with the
manufacturer of the sensors that they are compatible with LED luminaires.
• This product requires a 350mA constant current electrical supply. Irreparable damage will be caused if used
with other electrical supplies (i.e. AC transformer or constant voltage supply).
• It is essential that the fittings are connected to the constant current driver before the driver is connected to
the mains supply. Failure to follow this instruction will result in damage to the fittings. (In the event of an
open circuit on the secondary side, a constant current driver will “ramp up” to its maximum voltage. If the
LED load is then connected, it will be connecting to a potentially damaging over-voltage. If the driver has
been connected to the mains supply with an open circuit, ensure the output terminals of the driver are short
circuited to discharge its internal capacitors before connecting the load.) For the same reason, the lights must
not be switched on the low voltage side of the driver.

• Provide power to the required point of installation (refer to BS7671 for correct cabling methods). Suitable IP
rated junction boxes should be used where required
• Choose a position for the luminaire ensuring the ground is suitable to firmly hold the spike and luminaire
in position. Check the ground is not liable to flooding and the spike does not infringe with any underground
pipes or cables
• The body of the product should not rest directly on the ground
• The preinstalled cable supplied is for above-ground use only. Cables that are to be routed within walls or
below ground must be protected by means of suitable conduit or trunking (see Fig. 1)
Fig. 1
• The spike of the luminaire is required to be pushed fully into the ground
• The fittings must be wired IN SERIES to the secondary side of the constant current driver (see Fig. 2). The
minimum and maximum load of the driver must be observed

• We recommend that a maximum cable run of 10m of 0.75mm
• The junction box IP68JBS (not included) can be used for the connection of up to three fittings at a time
• Connect the + (brown) and – (blue) ends of the series loop into the secondary terminals of the constant
current driver
• Connect the constant current driver to the mains supply ensuring the correct polarity is observed:
Live (brown), Neutral (blue)
• Switch on and check for correct operation

CSA cable be used in the series circuit
WARNING
This product must be disconnected from the circuit if subjected to any high voltage or insulation resistance
testing. Irreparable damage will occur if this instruction is not followed.
Care must be taken if these fittings are to be installed in a special location as defined by BS7671. This is
because the maximum secondary voltage of the driver may exceed the maximum voltage requirements of the
location.
This product is not suitable for installation in or near a coastal or marine environment.

GENERAL
This product contains a light source of energy efficiency class F to Regulation (EU) No. 2019/2015 and (UK)
2021 No. 1095.
The light source of this luminaire is not replaceable; when the light source reaches its end of life the whole
luminaire should be replaced.
Clean the external surfaces with a damp cloth using a mild solution of detergent and warm water only, do not
use aggressive cleaning products or solvents which may damage the product.
Do not use any source of high-pressure washers to maintain or clean this luminaire.
A light film of acid-free oil is recommended after installation and maintained periodically (2-3 times a year) to
aid corrosion prevention.
This product is non-dimmable.
This product should be recycled in the correct manner when it reaches the end of its life. Check local authorities
for where facilities exist.
