Outdoor lighting in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is home to a major coal export terminal, aluminium smelters and heavy industry in Alton, so port and plant lighting is a large part of demand: high-mast lights, floods and corrosion-resistant bulkheads. Homes in Meerensee, Arboretum, Birdswood and Veldenvlei want security lighting and garden fittings that survive salty, humid coastal air. Marine-grade 316 stainless and sealed IP66 fittings are worth the premium.

Electricians issue a CoC for any fixed wiring.
