Outdoor lighting can be considered safe if installed by an approved electrician. There are strict regulations surrounding outdoor lighting in Huddersfield which include using appropriate IP rated lighting fixtures. Ingress Protection or IP is used to determine the effectiveness of sealing electrical fixtures from moisture and debris.
We only use and install weatherproof lighting fixtures to ensure electrical hazards are reduced. Another key safety feature is the addition of RCD protection for all outdoor circuits.
JP Electrical conducts mandatory testing upon completion to make sure safety standards are met.
