UNDERWATER & SPIKES

Underwater spike lights are specialized lighting fixtures designed for use in underwater environments. These lights are commonly used to illuminate water features, ponds, fountains, swimming pools, or any other underwater landscapes. The term “spike” in underwater spike lights typically refers to the spike or stake-like structure that is used to secure the light fixture into the ground or substrate beneath the water.    These lights are specifically designed to be submerged in water, so they must have a waterproof or water-resistant construction to prevent damage and ensure safety. The materials used in the construction of underwater spike lights are often corrosion-resistant to withstand the effects of water exposure. Common materials include stainless steel, brass, or other non-corrosive metals. 

The spike or stake allows for easy installation in various underwater settings. The spike is typically driven into the ground or substrate beneath the water, securing the light fixture in place. LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology is often used in underwater spike lights due to its energy efficiency, long lifespan, and ability to produce vibrant and focused light. LED lights also generate less heat, making them suitable for underwater use. Some underwater spike lights come with color-changing capabilities, allowing users to customize the lighting ambiance according to their preferences. This feature is particularly popular in decorative or landscape lighting. Underwater spike lights are powered by electricity, and they usually come with waterproof cables for connection. Some models may be solar-powered, utilizing energy from the sun to illuminate the underwater environment. Consider the beam angle of the light. A wider beam angle can cover more area, while a narrower beam angle may provide more focused illumination. Check the depth rating of the underwater spike lights to ensure they can withstand the depth at which you plan to use them.
