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 solar garden lights requests in the area come from:
- Homes: solar stake lights along the garden path and a spotlight on a feature tree
- Industrial sites: solar marker lights on paths between offices, parking and staff areas
- Municipalities, schools and clubs: solar bollards and path lights in parks, cemeteries and school gardens
- Shops and offices: solar path and bed lights in office park and shopping centre landscaping
- Farms and smallholdings: solar lights along farmhouse paths, the vegetable garden and cottage entrances
- Estates and complexes: solar path lights in communal gardens and small townhouse gardens without cabling
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.
Solar Garden Lights usually come at IP44 to IP65, with 2700 K to 6000 K. Built-in panel, NiMH or LiFePO4.
What to include in your request
- Give the length of paths and beds to be lit
- List features to spotlight, such as trees or walls
- Note which parts of the garden get full sun
- Choose warm or cool white
- Ask whether batteries are replaceable
