Long Life Lamp Company 3 x GU10 Outdoor Garden Spike Light Ground Mount IP65 Matt Black ZLC01BS

I can't comment on the lamp life as I have just received them. They do look like a great quality build. I do have large hands with sausage fingers and had no issues with inserting the gu10 led bulbs. It's important to use the correct size Philips screwdriver and not a pozidrive to open the lamp. If you don't know the difference then you risk damaging the screws.

This is my 3rd purchased of spike lights, the previous 2 sets leaked very quickly after installation despite being the same IP rating as these; one set i bought were £45 each! I purchased this as a friend recommended them to me; he has had these for over 5 years and none have leaked. Comparing to the previous lights (which leaked) these are far superior in quality and ironically are the cheapest! I haven't had any rain yet and they haven't been fitted long so i cant tell for sure if they will leak but I am assuming they wont as my friend's haven't.

These are very nice and look decent quality however the description needs to be clear that this is only the lights and they are not joined. You or an electrician will need additional pieces to finish these like a junction box or IP rated T connectors and possibly more cable. I assumed purchasing 3 would have meant they were joined but they were not.

The lights dont come with gu10 bulbs. 1 bought colour changing remote control led bulbs as you can see. Quite effective at night. We really like them. They were easy to wire up, and come with a reasonably long lead. Well made and the finish was good. We have ordered another 3 that's how good they are.

Very sturdy, no plastic. Easy to assemble. Bought before for front garden and lasted well, so using again in back garden.

Great for lighting individual plants, trees, shrubs or just highlighting your garden, well made and safe to operate and are great value.

I bought these lights a few years ago. For the price they are good quality and easy to install. However, if you have them pointing upward at all, rainwater ‘pools’ on the lens and eventually drips through into the body of the light. Over time enough water drops through and collects in the body of the light to cause an electrical short circuit. This is because the silicon seal provided is simply not adequate. I suspect a bead of silicon applied around the edge of the lens will help, but I think the product should perform better as advertised.

Generally positive in terms of product quality and sturdiness, but after foxes chewed the cables I realised they were non-replaceable, so I've removed a star for not being fully serviceable. The remaining lamp has been outside for about a year now and is still going strong (snow, rain, hosepipe), so I can attest to the IP rating being genuine.
