The Elipta Spartan Recessed Uplight combines a cool top lens, long lamp life and superb energy efficiency for uplighting medium to large trees from lawns or paving. The Spartan provides a powerful 36° uplighting beam, using 1x 26 watt COB LED, while keeping a typical top lens temperature of under 40 degrees - so this garden light can be used even in walkover areas to uplight trees with an open canopy and branch structure from directly below. A built-in CREE LED means the light can last up to 60,000 hours. The shallow depth and no need to enter the Spartan fitting for lamp installation or replacement make it quick and easy to fit unlike its metal halide cousins. The dark non-reflective interior means less light refraction through the lens to give away its position in the landscape. The Spartan has a 316 stainless steel lens rim, a cast aluminium body and a polymer sleeve for recessing into the ground. To facilitate removal of screws for maintenance, apply copper grease to the threads of all screws being fitted for retention of bezels, grills or other top plates or retaining rings. Copper grease resists degradation due to heat and protects against difficulty in removing screws, particularly where stainless steel screws are fitted with aluminium parts. It may also be used on screw threads of screw-off bezels or glare shields. Ensure surplus is cleaned off with a solvent to prevent staining.

Using a single RCD for large numbers of 240v fittings is not recommended due to the risk of nuisance tripping. We advise the use of separate RCD protectioin for each circuit and a maximum of 12 fittings per RCD. Where a garden lighting installation of more than 12 units with transformers, which results in a significantly higher fault tolerance and reliability in the total installation
