Bramblewick Peregrine 6W Spike Spotlight with an Integral Snoot Narrow Beam

A single fitting rather than a set, for adding to a scheme you already have or for finding out whether you like the effect before committing to twelve of them. Narrow beam fitted, with the other three angles in the box.

The same fitting we put in the sets, sold one at a time. Solid brass body, brass knuckle with a stainless grub screw, toughened glass and a silicone gasket you can replace. The LED module unclips, so in eight years when the output has dropped you change a module rather than dig up a fitting. It runs on 12V, so you can add it to an existing garden transformer if there is capacity, and the load figure below tells you whether there is.

Installation

This runs on 12V, which is the reason to choose a low voltage garden system in the first place. The cable can be laid in a shallow trench or clipped along a fence without armoured conduit, it can be cut and joined with waterproof connectors outdoors, and a spade through it is an inconvenience rather than an emergency. The transformer itself is the only part that touches mains, so that is the only part an electrician needs to look at. Bury cable at least 100mm deep, run it along a line you will remember, and leave a loop of slack at every fitting so you can move things next year when the planting has grown.

When to buy

Garden lighting is bought in spring and installed in a hurry. It is much easier to dig a cable run in February when the borders are bare and the ground is soft than in May when everything is in leaf and you are trying not to stand on it. Order in winter, get the cable in, and the first warm evening of the year is ready for you rather than a job list.
