{"product_id":"starburst-outdoor-spotlight-aluminium-glass","title":"Starburst Outdoor Spotlight – Cast Aluminium and Glass, IP65","description":"\u003ch2\u003eA ground spotlight that projects a starburst pattern\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis spotlight in cast aluminium and glass throws light upwards through a worked diffuser, which breaks the beam into a starburst pattern across whatever surface it meets. Its 1,530 lumens (the lumen measures the quantity of light emitted; 1,530lm reads much like a traditional 100W bulb) make it an accent light capable of treating a tree trunk, a stretch of wall or a facade several metres high. Two mounting options are available, base mounted for a paved surface and on a spike for a border. Two power supplies are offered, solar or mains-wired. The IP65 rating (weatherproof — sealed against dust and water jets) allows direct exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial and finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: cast aluminium and glass, mass enough to hold its place on the ground and to survive a knock from a mower.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight quality and spread\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,530 lumens thrown upwards, broken into a starburst pattern by the diffuser.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation and compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: a self-contained solar version or a mains-wired version, mounted on a base or on an in-ground spike.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions and scale\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ø 30cm (12\"), a format that stays discreet at ground level while throwing several metres.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeatherproofing\u003c\/strong\u003e: IP65 rating, suited to ground mounting exposed to rain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSolar performance in the UK\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSolar output follows the daylight the panel actually receives. Through a British winter, roughly from November to February, days are short and frequently overcast, so run times will be shorter than in midsummer. The light still works; it simply holds less charge, and it recovers as the days lengthen. A south- or west-facing position with nothing shading the panel around the middle of the day makes more difference than any other single choice. Charging time and run time are not stated by the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specification\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitting type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOutdoor spotlight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial(s)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast aluminium, glass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinish \/ Colour\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions (Ø × H in cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eØ 30 (12\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCap \/ Bulb type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegrated LED\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMax. wattage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBulb included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDimmable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCable length \/ adjustable drop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP65 (weatherproof)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase mounted or on an in-ground spike\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCare and cleaning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLuminous flux (lm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1,530\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEnergy class\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColour rendering index (CRI)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNot specified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstalling the mains-wired version in the UK\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe solar version needs no electrical work at all. The mains-wired version connects to an outdoor supply, so it should be installed by a qualified electrician, in compliance with BS 7671 (the IET Wiring Regulations) and Part P of the Building Regulations, with the circuit protected by an RCD. The manufacturer does not state how the wired version terminates, so confirm the connection method before ordering: anything supplied with a moulded two-pin plug will not fit a UK socket and would need replacing rather than adapting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to install it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt the foot of a tree\u003c\/strong\u003e: aimed at the trunk, it reveals the bark and casts the drawing of the branches across the facade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGarden wall\u003c\/strong\u003e: set a metre (39.5\") from the wall, it stretches a pattern of light over the full height.

Against a wall, the distance governs the result — fifty centimetres (20\") gives a tight, intense pattern, a metre and a half (59\") a wider, softer drawing. At the foot of a tree, angle it slightly off vertical rather than straight up so the bark takes on some relief. The solar version assumes an open aspect through the day, which rules out the shaded borders where this kind of spotlight usually goes: in that case, the mains-wired version is the one to take.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lumiris","offers":[{"title":"Base mounted \/ Solar","offer_id":45135522922704,"sku":"Vl1785604087393977731","price":174.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Base mounted \/ Mains-wired","offer_id":45135522955472,"sku":"kA1785604087394534335","price":124.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"In-ground spike \/ Solar","offer_id":45135522988240,"sku":"fh1785604087394956289","price":182.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"In-ground spike \/ Mains-wired","offer_id":45135523021008,"sku":"EV1785604087395454682","price":148.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/7324\/4368\/files\/Spot_Etoilee__Aluminium_Moule_et_Verre__Etancheite_IP65__Lumens_1530__O_30_cm_0.jpg?v=1787400428","url":"https:\/\/lumiris.co.uk\/products\/starburst-outdoor-spotlight-aluminium-glass","provider":"Lumiris UK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
