Outdoor lighting in Johannesburg

Johannesburg's outdoor lighting jobs range from century-old homes in Parkview, Westcliff and Houghton to modern townhouse complexes in Fourways and Northcliff and industrial yards in City Deep and Selby. Tall walls, electric fences and dark verges make good security lighting a priority, and many streets suffer streetlight outages from cable theft, leaving owners to light their own frontage. Summer thunderstorms bring lightning that kills unprotected LED drivers, and hail cracks cheap diffusers. Load-shedding has made solar floods and battery-backed lights popular. Heritage homes and estates may restrict glare, so choose shielded fittings, and insist on a CoC from the electrician for mains work.

  • Shops and offices: facade and signage lighting, parking-area poles, entrance downlights and after-hours security lights
  • Industrial sites: high-output LED flood lights on yards and loading bays, perimeter lighting and photocell control
  • Municipalities, schools and clubs: LED street lights, park and taxi-rank lighting, sports field floodlights and solar lights where cables get stolen
  • Lodges, guesthouses and venues: warm path and deck lighting, festoon strings over terraces, pool lights and wildlife-friendly fittings

Frequently asked questions

What does outdoor lighting cost in Johannesburg?
It depends on the fittings and their quality, how many you need, the length of cable and any trenching, and whether you want supply only or installation too. As a rough guide: Roughly R150 to R3,000 per fitting, installation extra. Send your request and a lighting supplier serving Johannesburg will quote you.
Do I need an electrician in Johannesburg?
For new fixed wiring, yes. Outdoor lights wired into your home's supply must be installed by a registered electrician, who issues a Certificate of Compliance (CoC). Solar and plug-in lights don't need one. We can pass your request to electricians in Johannesburg.
Do solar lights work well in Johannesburg?
Johannesburg averages about 5.5 peak sun hours a day over the year, dropping to roughly 4.0 on short winter days. Choose a panel and battery sized for winter, and keep panels clear of shade. See solar lights in Johannesburg.
Do you sell or install lights yourselves?
No. We don't sell, install or repair anything. We pass your request to independent suppliers and electricians, who quote you directly. Describe the job and the property so the quotes are easy to compare.
