Outdoor lighting installation is popular amongst homeowners for a number of reasons.
Outdoor lighting can be used to improve security to prevent intruders at your home in Meltham. JP Electrical recommends using PIR Passive Infrared motion sensor lighting which is triggered when heat from moving objects is detected. As homeowners are enjoying spending more time socialising outdoors, we've noticed an increase in outdoor lighting for added curb appeal and entertainment purposes. Don’t forget the garden shed! The team is often called out to install outdoor lighting in garages, outhouses and garden sheds for customers who want accessible lighting.
Back to top1) Which type of lighting do I choose?
It all depends on how you intend on using the lighting. Deck lights which are recessed into the ground are a suitable option for subtle lighting, perfect for summer parties. Pathway lighting and bollard lighting is often used to provide illumination to prevent trips and falls, creating a clear and visible pathway.
Exterior wall lights on the external wall of a garage or patio wall can add a touch of class as well as highlighting features as simple as your door number. JP Electrical has a wealth of knowledge having conducted a number of outdoor lighting projects so we’re always eager to share our ideas and contribute to lighting projects.

JP Electrical supports the use of outdoor LED lights for their numerous benefits. LEDs are durable and vibration resistant so they are a great choice for the garden. They have an incredibly long shelf life of up to 30,000 hours so there are huge savings to be made on fewer bulb changes.
