Outdoor lighting in Pietermaritzburg

Pietermaritzburg, the provincial capital, combines Victorian homes in Scottsville and Clarendon with newer estates in Hayfields, Montrose and up towards Hilton, plus government offices, schools and the industrial area at Willowton and Mkondeni. Homeowners want security lighting, heritage-style lanterns and garden fittings, and Midlands estates often restrict light spill to protect their rural feel. The city sits in a bowl that gets hot, humid summers with frequent thunderstorms and lightning, and cold, misty winters. Guest farms and wedding venues along the Midlands Meander want festoon and path lighting. Solar helps with load-shedding. Electricians must issue a CoC for mains work.
