Outdoor lighting in Pietermaritzburg

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.
