Manus 24V Mr16 Exterior Post Spike Light

The Manus is a 650 mm garden post light on a spike — 24 V, a replaceable 5 W MR16 LED included, 400 lm at 2700 K with CRI above 90, IP65 — in black, green or corten.

2700 K and CRI above 90 — specified for planting

This is the combination that matters in a garden and almost nothing else offers it. 2700 K is genuinely warm — it makes foliage look alive rather than fluorescent. CRI >90 means greens read as greens and bark reads as bark. Most garden lights are 3000 K at CRI 80 and turn a beautiful planting scheme grey-blue after dark.

The globe is replaceable, which matters more than it sounds

MR16, not a sealed LED. When it eventually fails you change the globe, not the fitting — you do not dig it out of the garden bed. And because it is replaceable, you can change the beam angle later: narrow to spot a tree, wide to wash a bed.

On a spike, so it moves

Push it into the bed rather than concreting it in. When the planting grows and the light no longer sits where it should, pull it and move it. Gardens change; fixed fittings do not.

650 mm tall, which clears low planting

Head 64 × 185 mm on a 650 mm post with an 80 mm base. Tall enough to see over groundcover and shrubs and light them from above; a low spike disappears the first season.

IP65 and low voltage

Dust tight and water-jet protected, and Class III — under 54 volts past the driver. In ground that gets dug, edged and watered for years, low voltage is the right way to do it. Cable tail 1,000 mm.

Where it works

• Garden beds and borders.
• Uplighting shrubs and small trees.
• Path edges.
• Schemes that will be replanted — move it, don’t rewire it.
