The Niso Polycarbonate Black 5W LED Garden Spike Light is a versatile outdoor spotlight designed for gardens, pathways, and landscape features. Its adjustable head allows you to direct light exactly where it’s needed, making it ideal for highlighting plants, walls, and architectural details. Constructed from durable polycarbonate, it is suitable for coastal installations and built to withstand outdoor conditions. With tri-colour functionality and dimming capability, it offers flexibility to suit a variety of lighting applications.
Choosing a driver
This spike light runs on 12v DC, so it needs a 12v LED driver (sometimes called a transformer). It cannot connect straight to 240v mains. The driver is wired in by a licensed electrician.
Allow 5w for each spike light and add about 20% headroom. 10 spike lights draw 50w, so they need a 60w 12v driver.

For bigger installs, split the lights across two or more drivers and place each driver close to its group. Long cable runs at low voltage lose brightness at the far end, so check your cable size with the voltage drop calculator below.
Outdoors, use a weatherproof IP66 12v driver and mount it above ground, clear of garden beds and pooling water.
To dim, pair it with a dimmable 12v driver and a compatible dimmer.
