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 street lights requests in the area come from:
- Homes: a solar light on a pole at the end of a long driveway or at the front gate
- Industrial sites: solar poles along perimeter roads and loading areas where cable theft is common
- Municipalities, schools and clubs: solar street lights on suburban roads, rural villages, parks and school entrances
- Shops and offices: solar street lights over parking lots and access roads to cut electricity costs
- Farms and smallholdings: solar poles along farm roads, at gates and around workers' housing far from the grid
- Estates and complexes: solar street lights along internal roads and walkways without trenching new cables
Choosing fittings for Welkom
Local conditions matter: lightning and power interruptions is the usual cause of failed fittings in Welkom. Specify solar-backed floods with surge-protected controllers, IP65, and check that cable glands and seals are included in the quote.
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
