Outdoor lighting in Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape stretches from windy coastal metros to remote rural hills, and outdoor lighting needs vary accordingly. Gqeberha and East London have suburban homes, security complexes and automotive and port industry with big yards to light. Coastal towns such as Jeffreys Bay, Port Alfred and Kenton-on-Sea face salt spray and strong winds, so corrosion-resistant fittings are essential. Private game reserves near Addo and Grahamstown, now Makhanda, prefer low-glare, warm lighting. Inland, Karoo farms and towns like Graaff-Reinet see harsh frost. Municipal streetlight outages are common in many towns, making solar security lights popular. Mains connections should carry a CoC.
