Frequently Asked Questions - Set of 4 Mirage Solar Deck lights

Question:

The answer to one of the questions was that the spike can be removed so does that mean they can be screwed directly to decking or not?
By Gary Leeder on Dec 5,2023

Answer:

These cannot not be screwed into decking, they can be dropped into decking if you make a correct sized hole. Please be aware that the on/off button is underneath, so you will need to remove them whenever you wish to turn them off to charge them. If you are looking to screw lights into your decking we have ones which you can do so. Please do look through our decking lights page and it should hopefully be clear which ones, if not, do give us a call.
