Accessory Bollard Spike High Grade

This is a ground spike.

It is a component on its own – there is no light source, driver or wiring supplied with it.

What it does

This is a ground spike for the fitting it is listed against – it pushes into soil and holds the fitting upright without concrete or a fixed base.

That makes garden lighting adjustable, which matters more than it first appears. A garden is not finished when the lighting goes in: planting fills out, beds are reshaped, and a fitting that was aimed perfectly in its first season is often aimed at the back of a shrub by its third. A spiked fitting can simply be lifted and moved.

Push it in rather than hammering it, and get it into firm ground below the loose top layer. A spike seated only in mulch will lean within a season, and a leaning fitting is the most visible fault in a garden lighting scheme.

It is a mounting component, not a light. Check which fitting it suits before ordering.

Choosing and ordering

Confirm which fitting or run this is listed against before ordering – parts of this kind are made to one model and are not interchangeable.

Order it with the fitting where you can. A component like this is inexpensive next to the work it holds up, and the job that waits on one small part is a job that stays unfinished for the sake of a few dollars.

Identifying the part you need

The hard part of ordering a component is rarely the component; it is working out which one you have. Lighting ranges share a look across models that take entirely different parts, and a part that is a few millimetres out simply will not fit.

The reliable identifier is the part number on the fitting itself. It is usually printed on the body, on the driver, or on a label inside the housing, and it is worth finding before ordering rather than after. Where a fitting is already installed and the label is out of reach, a clear photograph is often enough for our team at Lights For You to identify it.

It is also worth checking what else the job needs while you are looking. Components are usually ordered one at a time and arrive one at a time, and a second small part discovered after the first has been fitted means the work stops twice instead of once.

Frequently asked questions

Is the light included?

No. This is the ground spike only.

Will it stay upright?

If it is seated in firm ground below the loose surface layer, yes. A spike pushed only into mulch will lean.

Does it include a driver or wiring?

No. It is a component only – any driver, cable or light source is separate.

Do I need an electrician?

For any mains connection, yes – that is licensed electrical work in Australia. Fitting the component itself is not.
