Outdoor lighting in Potchefstroom

Potchefstroom is a university town on the Mooi River, so student houses, townhouse complexes and family homes in Baillie Park, Van der Hoff Park and Dassierand make up much of the outdoor lighting demand. Landlords want tough, vandal-resistant bulkheads and motion-sensor lights; homeowners add garden, path and patio lighting. Farms and smallholdings outside town use solar lights for gates and outbuildings, and sports clubs ask about field floodlighting. Hard Highveld frost in winter and lightning in summer test cheap fittings. Many complexes have body corporate rules on fitting style and light spill. Local electricians install mains lights and issue the required CoC.
