The Spitze LED Garden Spike Light Kit is a complete five-light gardenrun in one box, and it is the only fitting in this group you can install without specifyinganything else. The kit contains five 3W spike fittings, one WiFi receiver, oneLED driver and a remote control. Colour is controlled rather than chosen at install:each fitting is RGBCW, so it does full colour plus 3000K warm white and 5500K cool white,driven from the remote or the TUYA app. That is the real decision for a fixed whitegarden set once and never touched, a tri-colour spike light is simpler and cheaper.

What the kit needs, and what it does not

The driver is supplied, so you do not buy one separately. It runs from240V AC and outputs 24V DC to the fittings, which means thelight fittings themselves must never be connected directly to 240V they only ever see the supplied 24V DC supply. The driver is class2 andIP20, so it must be mounted in a dry protected position even though the fittings are outdoors.A further five fittings can be added, so a ten-light garden is one kit plus five extras.

Where it works

• Entertaining courtyards and alfresco gardens where the colour changes with the occasion.
• Feature trees and palms uplit in warm white most nights, colour for events.
• Pool surrounds and rendered walls RGB washes read strongly on a pale surface.
• Front gardens and facades where a phone-controlled scene is easier than a garden switchboard.

Specifying it

Questions

Do I need to buy a driver?

No. The kit includes the LED driver, the WiFi receiver and the remotealong with the five fittings. It runs from 240V AC and feeds 24V DC to thelights.

Can I connect a fitting straight to 240V?

Never. The fittings run on 24V DC from the supplied driver.Connecting one directly to mains destroys it and is not covered by the warranty.

How many lights can I run?

The kit comes with five fittings and an additional five can be added,so ten in total on the one kit.

How is the colour controlled?

By the supplied remote or the TUYA app on a phone. The fittings areRGBCW, so full colour plus 3000K warm white and 5500K cool white, all changed on demandrather than set at install.

Where does the driver go?

In a dry, protected position. The fittings are IP65 for outdoors but thedriver is IP20, so it needs to be inside a weatherproof enclosure or a sheltered space thatyour electrician nominates.

Are there globes to replace?

No. Each 3W LED is built in and not user-replaceable, so there isnothing to source separately.

Is a 36 beam wide enough for a garden bed?

It is a narrow beam meant for hitting a specific target a trunk,a wall panel, a sculpture. For a broad wash across a bed you want a wider beam angle, or morefittings spaced closer together.
