We are excited to announce a brand new line within our garden spike range – the Dark Sky Kews. Designed in alignment with principles set by the International Dark Sky Association, these modular fittings project light downwards, preventing upwards light spill that disrupts wildlife and contributes to light pollution.
The Dark Sky Kew comes in two head sizes, the miniature
Dark Sky Kew 25 and the larger
Dark Sky Kew 40. Both use a wide optic to create a soft pool of light and half snoot to minimise glare. The uniquely shaped stem, angled 20° below horizontal, ensures that light is directed below the horizon line regardless of the angle of tilt.
We have designed this range to be flexible with a highly configurable kit of parts that is easy to assemble together on-site. The height can be easily adapted with extension tubes in sizes of 0.5m and 1m. The height can be varied from 0.4m all the way up to 2.5m. A versatile ground plate adds stability to tall configurations, and offers the ability to mount single, double or triple clusters all within the same part. This is supplied as default for configurations with a total height above 1.0m. Braces are also available to maintain the structural integrity of multiple clusters. The Dark Sky Kew family allows for more versatility in the garden than any other range on the market.
The spike allows for easy repositioning in the garden as the planting changes. They come in black as standard but can be offered in a wide range of custom finishes from verdigris to stone as a special order.
