Outdoor lighting in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university and winelands town, with oak-lined historic streets, student accommodation, Technopark offices and many wine estates and restaurants. Wine farms and wedding venues want festoon lighting, landscape and up-lighting for gardens and trees, and robust floods for cellars. Homes in Die Boord, Paradyskloof and Uniepark and estates such as De Zalze and Jonkershoek want garden and security lighting, and heritage and estate rules often control glare and fitting style. Winters are wet and cold, summers hot and dry with the southeaster. Solar is common during load-shedding. A registered electrician must issue a CoC for fixed wiring.
Typical solar street lights requests in the area come from:
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: solar street lights along lodge roads, parking and paths to chalets in the bush
- Estates and complexes: solar street lights along internal roads and walkways without trenching new cables
- Homes: a solar light on a pole at the end of a long driveway or at the front gate
- Farms and smallholdings: solar poles along farm roads, at gates and around workers' housing far from the grid
- Shops and offices: solar street lights over parking lots and access roads to cut electricity costs
- Municipalities, schools and clubs: solar street lights on suburban roads, rural villages, parks and school entrances
Choosing fittings for Stellenbosch
The main thing that wears out outdoor lights in Stellenbosch is winter rain and summer southeaster, so ask for solid brass or bronze fittings rated IP65. A cheaper fitting that fails after one season costs more than a good one once the electrician's call-out is added.
Solar Street Lights usually come at IP65 to IP66, with 4000 K to 6000 K neutral to cool. 20 to 120 W LED, solar and LiFePO4.
What to include in your request
- Give the road or path length and width
- Say how many poles and at what height
- Ask for autonomy days and battery Wh
- Mention soil type for the foundations
- Ask about anti-theft fixings and warranty
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
