Is there a spike "thingy" to hold the fixture into the soil?

Yes, there is an aluminum spike which threads onto the vertical pipe. There is a slot in the top of the spike to allow the wire to thread through. The threads are a standard pipe thread, so you can use other mounts if the spike doesn't work for you.

My lights had two hooks and two stakes. I did not use either of them as I already had a rod for hanging.

This is a spike aerator/ seeder which works great. I found though you need to add some weights to get good ground penetrtion. Easy to put together and use

Hi Sharee, This would most likely clamp to a rounded pole as there are rubber grips on the ends of the clamps. I am not sure what you are growing nor how tall/large the tent is so I cannot answer as to the best place to put it, but probably in the middle of the top, pointing downward to saturate plants with light evenly. Rest assured that the clamp is pretty strong and thus has no problem at all supporting both hood and bulb at any angle. I would also look into buying a timer to turn the light on/off automatically or ya may forget someday, only to find out you have commited plant-genocide. :-)

Get a mallott and pound in the spikes should be okay, trellis hooks up to the spikes you pound in the ground.

Guess you could attach a wire to the top of a pole and let it dangle. Mine is hanging on a garden arch via a hanging basket hanger. An excellent product.

Yes, you have to put a rod as a ground for the device. If you buy the kit they offer, it comes with a piece of thin rebar and a pipe clamp to connect the ground wire between the device and to the ground bar. Or you can buy a piece of thinwall electrical conduit (1/2 inch) at a hardware store. You only need a couple feet of conduit, with about one foot pounded in the ground. The other eight foot makes an excellent tomato stake that will last for years.

I would work along with a reflective holder. Placement should be pretty close. I used it in a dark basement and started seedlings. I had trouble, but found out that the topsoil I used was extremely inferior. The light was fine. I, also, lined the box that the seedlings were in with aluminum boil. The foil was a brilliant idea that I had ran across.

The ground spike is really simple actually! It is a longer aluminum spike that is hollowed out in the center, so that the center pole can insert down into the ground. The spike also has wings on it to prevent it from spinning in the ground. When not in use, there is a plastic cap that keeps moisture from collecting inside.

Sure. Would be easy. Unit is small and has a screw in Mount in addition to stake. Very nice. You will be pleased. Live mine but it's is pointed in tree. But would look awesome on lawn.

There are no spikes, I put an orange 1/2 on the center hanging pole, not very convenient.

All the spikes that I ordered came with a small plastic tube attached to the lid at one end, and the free end goes into a water reservoir (not inclouded, pitcher or bucket, or whatever). Mine worked well. The tube is light weight and the end that goes into the water source, might need to be "weighted" to hold it down in the water I used a "twisty" and attached a metal washer to hold it secure in the water source.

There are a number of ground stakes available, but you will have to find bolts to fit because the one supplied with the light won't work for them. It's mainly for attaching the fixture to a bracket with holes in it. I found a ground stake that works fine, but you have to use a small bolt and a washer to attach the light. https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/led-flood-light-accessories/ground-mounting-stake-for-led-compact-flood-light-fixture--160mm/1709/

dont use them as a shovel or you could hurt the plant and break the bulb. Thats all I know. :)

i think the whole ceramic part have to be in the soil....thats the idea---to moisten as much soil around the spike as possible....but if some of it sticks out--i dont know if it would draw enough water....so the answer is-i dont know, sorry

No. The lights are held up by small metal stakes that you place in the ground which raise the lights approximately 1-5 inches (whatever height you desire) and the wire is lying on the round between stakes. Mowing would definitely not be advisable.

You can either dig a small hole about 18 inches deep and bury it or as we did, you can just hammer it in with a rubber mallot. If you hammer it in place something like a chunk of wood over the spike so you don't damage it.
