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.
Typical outdoor lighting repairs requests in the area come from:
- Homes: fault finding a tripping garden circuit and replacing a dead sensor flood
- Industrial sites: replacing failed yard floods and perimeter lights to keep security cover
- Municipalities, schools and clubs: fixing park lights, sports field lamps and vandalised street-level fittings
- Shops and offices: restoring parking lot and facade lights before trading hours
- Farms and smallholdings: fixing long cable runs, shed floods and gate lights damaged by storms
- Estates and complexes: repairing common-area bollards and pole lights on a body corporate call-out
Choosing fittings for Welkom
The main thing that wears out outdoor lights in Welkom is lightning and power interruptions, so ask for solar-backed floods with surge-protected controllers, IP65. A cheaper fitting that fails after one season costs more than a good one once the electrician's call-out is added.
