Collingwood SL220BK27XF Black 2700K 40° LED Garden Spike Light
Estimated delivery time: Estimated delivery tomorrow*
Description
The Collingwood SL220BK27XF is a black, low-voltage LED spike light for highlighting planting, tree trunks and garden features. Its fixed 2700K warm white light gives outdoor spaces a softer appearance, while the 40° beam provides broader coverage than the narrow 12° version in the SL220 range.
The black anodised aluminium housing sits discreetly within a planting scheme. A ground spike allows positioning in suitable soil, and the head tilts through 90°, helping you direct the light towards the feature rather than leaving it aimed towards viewers.
Five output levels through the choice of driver
This model supports five published operating points, determined by the compatible constant-current driver:
-
150mA - 0.8W, producing 129 lumens
-
250mA - 1.4W, producing 208 lumens
-
350mA - 2W, producing 297 lumens
-
500mA - 3W, producing 396 lumens
-
700mA - 4.6W, producing 515 lumens
This allows the installer to select an appropriate output for the lighting design, from subtle accent lighting to stronger illumination of a feature.
The colour remains 2700K at every operating point. There is no colour-temperature or wattage-selection switch on the light itself.
Separate constant-current driver required
The LED driver is not included. This is the low-voltage SL220 version and requires a suitable constant-current driver, selected for the operating current and connected load.
It must not be connected directly to 230V mains or treated as a standard 12V or 24V constant-voltage fitting. Where several lights share a driver, Collingwood specifies series wiring. The driver’s permitted load and output-voltage range must suit the complete installation.
Outdoor protection and a supplied 3m cable
The light has an IP65 rating, and Collingwood identifies it as suitable for coastal areas. A 3m H05RN-F rubberised cable is supplied for connection to the lighting system.
Waterproof connection accessories are purchased separately. Collingwood recommends suitable IP68 connectors, including its JB2, JB4 and JB6 products, for protecting the installation joints.
Optional accessories to reduce glare
Where the light source is visible from a path, seating area or window, compatible glare-control accessories can help. The separately available GS220 snoot provides shielding around the source, while the GH220 hood controls glare from one side.
The modular design also allows the LED light source to be replaced by an appropriate professional. Collingwood publishes an L70 70,000-hour LED lifetime for the fitting.
