The SLV 231231 earth spike is the mounting part for the IPERI floor stand. Instead of pouring a footing or anchoring the luminaire into paving, you drive it into the soil and bolt the fitting to the plate on top — the whole installation comes down to marking the spot, driving the spike and tightening the bolts, which are included.
50 cm of steel in the ground
The blade is 50 cm long and cruciform in section — two folded steel strips form a rigid cross that, once driven, resists sideways tilt far better than a flat bar. That matters with floor stands: the luminaire projects above ground and acts as a lever, so stability is decided not by depth alone but by the blade's resistance to rotation. The top plate carries the fixing-bolt holes plus a central hole for routing the supply cable.
Galvanised steel, because it is a buried part
The spike is made of galvanised steel. The zinc coating is functional here rather than cosmetic — the part stays in permanent contact with damp soil, conditions in which plain steel rusts within a single season. The colour the manufacturer lists as grey is the natural tone of the galvanising, not paint.
Worth knowing before installation
Drive the spike by striking the plate, not the blade — hitting the edge of the sheet will deform it. In stony or heavily compacted ground it is worth making a pilot hole first. The IP20 rating quoted for this accessory applies to the mechanical part itself; the sealing of the finished installation is determined by the luminaire and by how the cable joint is made.
