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 patio lights requests in the area come from:
- Homes: pendants over the stoep table, downlights in the ceiling and light at the braai
- Industrial sites: simple ceiling lights over staff canteen patios and smoking areas
- Municipalities, schools and clubs: robust ceiling lights on covered areas at parks, clubs and community halls
- Shops and offices: ceiling and pendant lights on coffee shop terraces and office break areas
- Farms and smallholdings: warm lighting on the wide farmhouse stoep and around the lapa and braai
- Estates and complexes: compact ceiling lights and step lights on small townhouse patios and courtyards
Choosing fittings for Welkom
Local conditions matter: lightning and power interruptions is the usual cause of failed fittings in Welkom. Specify solar-backed floods with surge-protected controllers, IP65, and check that cable glands and seals are included in the quote.
Patio Lights usually come at IP44 to IP65, with 2700 K to 3000 K warm white. 3 to 15 W, 230 V or 12 V.
What to include in your request
- Give the patio size and roof or ceiling type
