Timo Anthracite Path Post Light

The Timo marks a route without shouting about it. The tilted head is the whole idea: it leans forward over the path and pushes light down and outwards, so the beam falls on the ground rather than into the eyes of anyone walking towards it. At 60 cm it sits low enough to read as landscaping and tall enough to clear planting and gravel edging.

The body is aluminium finished in graphite grey, with a small white plastic cover at the top where the LEDs sit. That combination handles British weather: an IP54 rating covers rain and spray from any angle, and powder-coated aluminium will not rust the way a steel post can once the finish is chipped. A flat base plate bolts down to paving, decking or a concrete pad.

The light source is an integrated LED rated at 5.8 watts, producing 440 lumens at 3000 K warm white, which is the softer end of white and reads as welcoming rather than clinical. A single post lights a doorway or a turn in a path; a run of them spaced evenly does more for a garden than one bright floodlight. Because the LED is integrated there is no lamp to change. Keep the head clear of overhanging planting, and rinse grit off the base after a hard winter.
