Useful light without glare or clutter
Purpose-led placement
We aim beams at paths, doors and spaces that genuinely need visibility.
Outdoor-rated fittings
We select suitable equipment and routes for exposed external conditions.
Controls matched to use
We plan sensors, timers or switches around how the space is accessed.
Light entrances, paths and garden areas
Outdoor lighting can make a dark entrance easier to use, pick out a path and extend time on a patio. Security lighting has a different job again, so fitting position should follow the purpose rather than the nearest available wall. We plan mounting height, beam direction and coverage to put light where it's useful without causing needless glare through your windows or towards neighbouring property. Entrances may need dependable switched light, while paths and gardens can suit softer or more focused fittings. The layout should help you see, not turn the whole street into a football ground.
Keep outdoor wiring protected from weather
External fittings and cable routes need to suit exposure to rain, damp and changing temperatures. We consider how cables pass through walls or gardens, where the electrical supply comes from and what protection the circuit needs. Control choices can include an indoor switch, timer, daylight sensor or motion detector. Each behaves differently, so we match it to how the area is used. We also think about access for future lamp or fitting maintenance before installation, then connect and test the completed outdoor electrical work.
Frequently asked questions
Should outdoor lights use motion or daylight sensors?
Motion sensors suit areas where light is needed as someone approaches. Daylight sensors can control lighting by ambient conditions. The right choice depends on the purpose, expected hours of use and desired level of control.
Can garden cables be run along a fence?
The route must protect the cable from damage, weather and future garden activity. A convenient-looking fence route isn't always suitable. We assess the layout and choose a method appropriate to the cable and conditions.
How can we stop outside lights causing glare?
Careful mounting height, beam angle and fitting choice make the biggest difference. We position light towards the area that needs coverage and avoid aiming bright fittings directly into windows or beyond the property.
