01
Purpose
The area, coverage and desired control method are agreed.
Electrical service / Outdoor lighting
Outdoor and security lighting
Exterior lighting needs to look intentional, provide useful coverage and remain suitable for changing weather. Fittings, controls, cable routes and circuit protection are planned as one installation.
01When to enquire
Start with the property and the result you need.
- Entrances, paths or steps need better visibility
- A garden or terrace needs usable evening light
- PIR security lighting is being added or replaced
- Existing exterior fittings let in water or fail repeatedly
02What to expect
A methodical route from enquiry to completion.
02
Position
Fitting height, glare, neighbours and camera or PIR coverage are considered.
03
Weatherproof
Suitable fittings, cable routes and connections are selected for the exposure.
04
Set up
Controls are adjusted and the completed circuit is tested.
03An important distinction
Brightness is not the same as good coverage
Position, beam direction and controls matter. The aim is useful illumination without unnecessary glare, nuisance triggering or light spilling where it is not wanted.

04Service questions
Before you decide what happens next.
Can you install PIR security lights?
Yes. The detection area, mounting position and controls are discussed so the light responds where intended.
Are ordinary fittings suitable outside?
No. Exterior fittings and connections must suit the location and exposure. Product suitability is checked as part of the plan.
