Easy to use, hooked up to solar light very easily. Includes bubble level to ensure it’s installed straight.

Easy to install in ground and post

Great product. Relatively easy to get in ground but I would suggest starting a hole before you start drilling the actual spike esp if your ground is like hard clay Georgia soil. After the first one it was easier to get them in quickly.

I was hard wiring and installing two Lutec lamp posts. I did not want to have to pour concrete and I did want an option of moving them if need be. These were easy to install and work great. Unlike the system used in the solar Lutec lamps, these are solid metal. The ones that come with the solar lamps are plastic and the depth of the screw in post is shorter. This one has a long and effective central metal screw that is long and bites the dirt. It is easy to insert and comes with a leveling bubble that guarantees it is level. The lamp fits perfectly on the base. An easy way to put in a permanent post base.

I bought it for my order of Gama Sonic dual heads solar post lamp to be installed on my driveway. I suppose it should be easy to be screwed into the ground so that I do not have to digger a hole. At the beginning, it worked fine. When there was still 6-8 inches left, it did not go and sadly it end up with a failure after 5 hours hard work. I had to rental an auger from home depot and buy cerement stuff to install just as before. Not any saving of work and money. I think it only works on the lawn or somewhere with deep soft soil. If there is any gravel underneath, it does not work. Be careful when you consider to buy it.

I purchased this anchoring kit for use with a LUTEC London 12513LE4-SL LED Post Solar Light Outdoor Vintage Street Light. I purchased this unit as a potential upgrade to the unit that came with the lamp post. The auger with the Gama anchor kit is longer than that provided with the LUYED lamp so I felt that I would get a more stable base. Installation was quick and relatively easy. To ensure a more stable base, the soil at the site was high in organic matter and had a lot of tree roots at depth, I dug a hole about 12" deep and a few inches greater in diameter than the base. I filled the hole with "Road Base", crushed concrete, and compacted it was well as practical using a 10" tamper. With the level bubble on the top of the auger keeping the auger going straight down was relatively easy. Pounded in the supplied plastic lags and the job was done. After installing the lamp post the installation was relatively stable. I'm sure I could have wobbled the lamp post if I pushed hard enough, But I'm not anticipating any earthquakes. Is it as stable as filling a 12-15" diameter 24" long tube with concrete, No. Was it was way quicker and more than likely as stable, Yes.

This is engineered really well, and works like a charm. Although it is made of plastic, it's not cheaply manufactured, and I appreciated the thoughtful details of the built-in bubble level, and the bolt caps. My soil is sandy and rocky, so the auger doesn't have as much to "grab" as it would in solid-packed clay, but the three large stabilizing stakes really helped. It's not a rock-solid mount like you would get from a concrete block, but this plenty robust for a backyard installation. And the nice thing is that I could move it if I wanted to. One installation suggestion: If your ground is rocky, you might have to pound down the auger with a hammer, periodically while you're screwing it in, to make progress. In that case, don't follow the instructions that tell you to insert the auger into the mount at the very beginning -- you'll have nothing to pound on. Instead, just work with the auger itself until you have it screwed down to just an inch or two from ground level, *then* add the mount so you can use the bubble level for your last couple of rotations.
