Outdoor lighting in KwaZulu-Natal

KwaZulu-Natal's outdoor lighting must cope with salt, humidity and heavy summer rain. Coastal homes and estates from Ballito and Umhlanga to the South Coast need marine-grade fittings, because sea air corrodes standard steel and cheap aluminium within a season or two. Inland, Pietermaritzburg and the Midlands mix older suburbs, country estates and wedding venues that want warm landscape lighting, while Richards Bay and the Durban port run large industrial yards. Game lodges in Zululand favour shielded, wildlife-friendly fittings. Lightning is severe across the interior. Solar works but sizing should allow for cloudy spells, and any fixed mains circuit needs a registered electrician's CoC.
