Outdoor lighting is essential to any outdoor space. Around your home, lighting can mean a safer entry on dark nights, can add to the aesthetic of a well landscaped garden, and can mean that summer parties can carry on well into the night.
For commercial premises, outdoor lighting is vital to ensure that your customers can see their way into your premises safely and so that your employees can carry out their work tasks outdoors safely. When ADDING OUTDOOR LIGHTING there are many different aspects that need to be considered. Not only the aesthetic appearance once installed, but the safety requirements and installation methods.
As your local ELECTRICIAN IN BRISTOL, we are the experts when it comes to ADDING OUTDOOR LIGHTING to any property.
Safety Requirements
Where electrical supplies are taken away from a property, safety requirements come into play more so than indoors in many cases. Outdoor environments can be dusty, wet and can introduce electrical dangers that may not be present indoors.
We are professional electricians with fantastic knowledge of building regulations and Safety Requirements for Electrical Installations which means we only install, safe compliant electrical lighting.
This means that the installation will look fantastic but will also be safe for you, your family, and your customers if you need work carrying out at your business premises.
Aesthetics
Aesthetic considerations are important with any outdoor lighting installations. Up and down lights are very popular recently but can look awful if the brickwork of the property is not perfect. Garden lighting can add ambience to any outdoor space but is no good if bushes and trees block the light from being seen.
Business premises lighting needs to showcase your signage, premises, and any show spaces that you have but can’t be overbearing. We have vast experience in the installation of outdoor lighting installations and can make suggestions on what may work best in your particular circumstances if you need some assistance.
Functionality
Lighting has changed over the last few decades and there is now a huge array of different colour schemes that are available with lighting installations. Cool white, warm white, multi-colour and colour changing systems are available.
There is also the option to have the system automated so it turns on at dark, with motion and at certain times of day. You can even have the system controlled from your phone to be able to switch your lighting on from a beach on the other side of the world!
Almost anything is possible with outdoor lighting installations and with EMC Electrical Group, we can make it happen, however you want it.
Longevity
There is little more frustrating than a lighting system that fails prematurely which is why we only use high-quality products sourced from reputable wholesalers. Installation needs to be carried out to minimise the chances of water, dust, or insect ingress into the electrical system and to stand the test of time.
Longevity when ADDING OUTDOOR LIGHTING is especially important for businesses where installations are subject to prolonged and heavy use. There is also often that added complication of access to lighting points when maintenance is required.
We understand that downtime is expensive as a business so it is important that products and installations last a long time.
What is the cost for outdoor lighting?
As every outdoor lighting installation is different the costs will vary depending upon the specification. Various factors can affect costs such as:
- Upgrading an old electrical system
- Suitability of existing power sources to extend
- The amount of lights
- The overall length of the lighting installation
- The complexity of the install and access
