The head tilts through 90°, so the fitting is aimed after it is in the ground — which is the whole reason spike lights exist. Plants grow, beds are replanted, and a fitting that can be repositioned by hand outlives one that is fixed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSolid brass, and why it matters in a garden bed\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is solid brass. In a garden bed a fitting sits in wet soil, fertiliser, mulch and sprinkler overspray for years, and that combination finds the weak point in any coated finish — usually an edge or a cable gland, where corrosion then works inward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrass has no coating to fail. It darkens and develops a patina instead, which under the graphite finish reads as the fitting settling into the garden rather than deteriorating in it. If an unchanging appearance is the requirement, brass is the wrong choice; if longevity in wet ground is, it is the right one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eThe globes are supplied\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tivah takes an MR16 LED globe and Havit supplies it with the fitting, rated at 5W producing 270lm, 285lm and 300lm across its three colour settings. Colour rendering is above 80 CRI.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHavit lists the fitting as not dimmable with the globes supplied, so it should not be specified on a dimmed circuit expecting the supplied lamps to respond. Because MR16 is a standard base, the globe can be changed later without disturbing the brass body — which on a fitting that spends its life in wet soil is the part worth preserving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePower and installation\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fitting runs on 12V DC and is a Class 3 low-voltage fitting, so no earth is required at the fitting. A 12V driver is required on the circuit and is not part of this listing. Low voltage is what makes a spike light safe to have loose in a garden bed where it will be moved by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is rated IP65 for dust and jetted water, and IK08 for impact. Push the spike into ground that has been dug or watered rather than forcing it into hard clay, which bends the spike and leaves the fitting leaning. Installation is work for a licensed electrician, even at low voltage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eAre globes included?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.
