Outdoor lighting in Upington

Upington sits on the Orange River in the Kalahari, surrounded by vineyards, raisin farms and date plantations, and close to some of the country's largest solar power plants. That sunshine makes solar outdoor lighting an easy choice for farmhouses, packsheds, gates and long driveways, as well as homes in Upington Central and Paballelo. Riverside guesthouses on Kanoneiland and towards Kakamas want warm patio and path lighting. Summer temperatures are extreme, UV breaks down plastics quickly and fine Kalahari dust gets into poorly sealed fittings. Lodges near the Kgalagadi favour dark-sky-friendly lighting. Electricians in town handle mains wiring and issue a CoC.
