Installation Guide

1. Site Preparation: Clear a small area of vegetation and debris where the spike will be inserted. Ensure the ground is firm but not compacted to allow easy insertion.
2. Spike Insertion: Hold the spike vertically and push it into the soil until the base rests firmly on the ground. The spike’s tapered design facilitates smooth penetration.
3. Securing the Light Fixture: Attach the light housing to the spike head using the provided mounting bracket or screw system. Tighten securely to prevent movement during wind or weather changes.
4. Electrical Connection: Connect the fixture’s power supply according to local electrical codes, ensuring all connections are insulated and protected from moisture.
5. Final Checks: Verify that the light is level, the spike remains stable, and there are no exposed wires. Test the lighting system before finalizing the installation.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the spike annually for signs of wear or soil buildup. Clean gently with a damp cloth if necessary.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals that could degrade the plastic material.
• If the spike becomes loose, reposition it by slightly adjusting its depth in the ground.
