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 lights requests in the area come from:
- Homes: solar wall lights at the doors, path lights and a sensor flood light on the driveway
- Industrial sites: solar flood lights on yards, fences and remote gates without trenching
- Municipalities, schools and clubs: solar street and park lights for informal settlements, taxi ranks and parks
- Shops and offices: solar lights for parking, signage and perimeter security that ignore load-shedding
- Farms and smallholdings: solar flood and pole lights on sheds, kraals, gates and long farm roads
- Estates and complexes: solar lights on perimeter walls, guard houses and paths, keeping estates lit in load-shedding
Choosing fittings for Welkom
In Welkom, lightning and power interruptions is what shortens the life of outdoor fittings. Ask each supplier to quote solar-backed floods with surge-protected controllers, IP65, and compare the warranty on the LED driver, not only on the housing.
Solar Lights usually come at IP65 to IP66, with 3000 K to 6000 K. Panel and battery, LiFePO4 or Li-ion.
What to include in your request
- Say what you want to light and how big the area is
- Note how much direct sun the spot gets
- Choose constant light or motion sensor mode
- Ask for battery type, capacity and panel watts
- Ask about warranty and replacement batteries
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
