Outdoor Lighting

Every outdoor lighting job we take on is handled by a qualified technician working to SANS standards, backed by a written workmanship guarantee. That matters more than it sounds: a large share of the callouts we attend are re-work on installations done cheaply by someone who is no longer answering their phone.

Outdoor lighting has to do two jobs: make a property look good at night, and make it feel safe. We install path and driveway lighting, tree and facade uplighting, wall washers, motion-activated security floodlights, and boundary lighting for perimeters and electric fences.

All exterior work uses correctly rated IP fittings, UV-stable cable in conduit or armoured cable buried to depth, weatherproof junctions and dedicated earth-leakage protection.

Why outdoor lighting matters

Outdoor Lighting done badly is expensive twice — once when you pay for it and again when you pay someone else to fix it. Insurers also routinely decline claims where work was not carried out by a registered contractor, which is why every job we complete is documented and, where applicable, certified.

What’s included

Driveway, path and garden lighting
Facade and tree uplighting
Motion-sensor security floodlighting
IP-rated fittings and buried armoured cable
Timers, photocells and smart control

Warning signs we look for on outdoor lighting

Warm, discoloured or buzzing switches, sockets or DB board
Sockets that only work intermittently or feel loose
Breakers tripping repeatedly or without an obvious cause
A burning smell near the board, a plug point or a light fitting
Extension leads permanently in use because there are too few points
Lights dimming or flickering when large appliances start

How we handle outdoor lighting

1. Free assessment and written quote

We attend site, inspect what is actually there, and quote outdoor lighting in writing with the parts, labour and any compliance work itemised. No deposit is required to get a price.

2. Scheduling that suits you

Once you approve the quote we book a slot — including after-hours and weekend work where a business cannot afford downtime — and confirm the arrival window by phone or WhatsApp the day before.

3. The work itself

A qualified technician carries out the outdoor lighting to SANS standards using correctly rated materials. Drop sheets go down, the area is protected, and anything unexpected is raised with you before extra cost is incurred.

4. Testing, handover and paperwork

We test the completed work under load, walk you through what was done, and issue your invoice, warranty details and — where the job requires it — a Certificate of Compliance.

What affects the price of outdoor lighting

Anyone quoting outdoor lighting sight-unseen is guessing. These are the factors that genuinely move the number on our quotations:

Cable length, routing and whether chasing into walls is required
Single-phase versus three-phase supply and the rating of the circuit
Condition of the existing DB board and whether an upgrade is needed
Quality and rating of the protective devices and fittings specified
Whether a Certificate of Compliance forms part of the scope
Access, working at height, and whether the site must stay live

Our guarantee

Our guarantee is written on the invoice, not implied verbally, so you always have something to hold us to.

Recent project

A manufacturing plant in Hazelwood needed outdoor lighting handled properly after a poor previous experience. We assessed the site, quoted in writing, completed the work to SANS standards and handed over full documentation. Read the full Outdoor Lighting for a manufacturing plant in Hazelwood case study.

Outdoor Lighting FAQs

Will outdoor lighting survive highveld storms?

Yes, when installed with correctly rated IP fittings, sealed joints and surge protection — all of which we use as standard.

How much does outdoor lighting cost in Gauteng?

There is no single price — outdoor lighting is quoted on scope. The assessment is free and the quotation is itemised, so you see the parts, the labour and any compliance work separately before you commit. Call 060 959 2231 and we will give you a realistic range over the phone, then confirm it on site.

How quickly can you attend?

We aim for same-day or next-day attendance across Gauteng for outdoor lighting, and we run emergency call-outs after hours, over weekends and on public holidays. Booked installations are usually scheduled within a few working days.

Are your technicians qualified and insured?

Yes. Our teams are qualified, insured and, on the electrical side, registered to issue Certificates of Compliance. Every job carries a written workmanship guarantee on top of the manufacturer’s warranty on parts and equipment.

Do you cover my area?

We cover the whole of Gauteng — Johannesburg, Pretoria, Centurion, Midrand, the East Rand, the West Rand and the Vaal — including estates and complexes where access has to be arranged with the HOA in advance.
