Outdoor lighting in Welkom
Welkom was laid out for the Free State goldfields, and working mines, shafts and engineering yards still need flood lights, high-mast and perimeter lighting. Homes in Flamingo Park, Bedelia, Riebeeckstad and Doorn mostly want security lighting and motion sensors on walls, gates and backyards, plus some garden and patio lighting. Municipal streetlight outages and cable theft are a frequent complaint, which has made solar flood and solar street lights popular with residents and businesses. Maize farms around Odendaalsrus use solar at gates and stores. Summers bring heavy thunderstorms and lightning; winters are dry and frosty. Electricians must certify new mains circuits with a CoC.

- Industrial sites: yard floods and perimeter lighting on dedicated circuits with surge protection
- Municipalities, schools and clubs: park and sports field lighting circuits with buried cable and street-level isolators
- Shops and offices: parking and facade lighting circuits with timers, contactors and a CoC for the tenant
- Farms and smallholdings: long armoured cable runs to sheds, gates and kraals with isolators at each building
- Estates and complexes: unit wall lights and common-area bollards wired to body corporate specifications
