Specifiers need not worry about the high cost associated with high grade Stainless Steel. For a fraction of the price, this supremely weatherproof, 76 www.landud.co.uk non-corrosive material is designed to withstand the worst weather and coastal environments. In production, a protective layer is formed over the polished surface which lasts indefinitely. The highly weatherproof IP65 path light will look great in any size surrounding, from small, modern gardens to smart commercial premises. It has a sturdy fixed base with 4 installation holes. The design itself is contemporary and elegant, the stand out feature being the ‘bubble-effect’ in the solid resin, heavy duty head. This bubble effect looks great in daylight, and beautiful at night when illuminated. It acts as a standard path light and as an uplighter - if placed beneath trees the effect is amazing!
