Outdoor & garden lighting

Send the exact product and instructions first. The light, power supply, connectors and intended location need to be suitable together. A set labelled for outdoor use may still have restrictions on where individual parts can go. Our garden-lighting planning guide covers the details to collect before booking.

Possibly, where the system is designed for that connection and the existing supply is suitable. The socket, protective arrangements, power unit, cable route and weather exposure still need assessment. A plug-in label does not make every layout safe or remove the need to follow the system's instructions.

Yes. The mains supply to the power unit still matters, and the lights, driver, connectors and cable limits must match the system. Components from different systems are not automatically interchangeable. We review the complete proposed installation rather than relying on voltage alone.

Before a booking is accepted, we confirm the competent person responsible, the agreed electrical work, testing and any required documentation. New circuits and consumer-unit changes are outside a standard fitting quote. If the request needs a different electrical scope, that must be resolved before installation is arranged.

They can where the lights, controls and supply are compatible. Tell us whether you want automatic arrival lighting, scheduled garden lighting or manual control. The sensor position and detection area matter, particularly near a pavement or neighbouring property. Share the models before buying separate control components.

No. Suitability depends on the exact exposure and the product instructions, including the connections and power equipment. A light appropriate for a sheltered wall may not suit standing water or a different mounting position. Electrical Safety First's garden advice explains why outdoor protection needs attention.

The supply, route, access, number and type of fittings, controls and required electrical work all affect the quote. Groundwork and making good must be identified separately where needed. Send a simple layout and photos using our quote preparation guide, rather than estimating from the number of lights alone.
