Outdoor lighting in Johannesburg

Johannesburg's outdoor lighting jobs range from century-old homes in Parkview, Westcliff and Houghton to modern townhouse complexes in Fourways and Northcliff and industrial yards in City Deep and Selby. Tall walls, electric fences and dark verges make good security lighting a priority, and many streets suffer streetlight outages from cable theft, leaving owners to light their own frontage. Summer thunderstorms bring lightning that kills unprotected LED drivers, and hail cracks cheap diffusers. Load-shedding has made solar floods and battery-backed lights popular. Heritage homes and estates may restrict glare, so choose shielded fittings, and insist on a CoC from the electrician for mains work.
