Outdoor Lighting & Garden Lights

What is the best outdoor lighting for a residential development?

For residential developments, a combination of security lighting, wall lights and pathway lights tends to work best. Security lights with motion sensors provide practical safety coverage, while wall lights and pathway lights add kerb appeal and help residents navigate outdoor spaces safely after dark. Solar options are also worth considering for developments where sustainability credentials are important.

What IP rating do I need for outdoor lighting?

For outdoor lighting, you'll need a minimum IP44 rating, which protects against splashing water from any direction. For fittings that will be exposed to heavy rain, jets of water or submersion, a higher rating such as IP65 or IP67 is recommended. All of our outdoor lighting products carry the appropriate IP rating for their intended use.

Can outdoor lighting add value to a property?

Yes, well-chosen outdoor lighting is widely recognised as a factor in increasing kerb appeal and perceived property value. For property developers and landlords, investing in quality exterior lighting is a cost-effective way to make a strong first impression and differentiate a property in a competitive market.

Do you stock outdoor lighting suitable for commercial properties?

Absolutely. Our wholesale outdoor lighting range includes plenty of options suited to commercial settings including hotels, restaurants, bars and office developments. From statement entrance lighting to practical security lights and decorative festoon lighting for outdoor dining areas, we have everything needed to light a commercial exterior effectively.

How do I choose between mains powered and solar outdoor lighting?

Mains powered outdoor lighting tends to offer more consistent performance and is better suited to high-traffic areas where reliable, bright light is essential. Solar lighting is a great choice for areas where running cabling would be costly or impractical and is increasingly popular for developments where energy efficiency and sustainability are priorities. We also have a range of outdoor battery operated lights. Many trade professionals use a combination of all three across larger projects.
