Outdoor lighting in Durban

Durban's outdoor lighting needs are shaped by the Indian Ocean. Homes and complexes along the Berea, in Umhlanga, La Lucia and Durban North, and the hotels, restaurants and beachfront venues all face salt-laden, humid air that rusts ordinary steel fittings and corrodes connectors. Marine-grade 316 stainless and properly sealed IP66 fittings last far longer. The port, warehouses in Prospecton and Riverhorse Valley and office parks in Umhlanga Ridge need durable floods and pole lighting. Security lighting is a priority across the city, and estates such as Mount Edgecombe set rules on light spill. Summer storms are heavy. Electricians issue a CoC for mains work.

Choosing fittings for Durban
