Outdoor lighting in Mthatha
Mthatha is the main commercial and administrative centre of the former Transkei, with government offices, hospitals, a university and shopping centres serving a wide rural area. Homeowners in Southernwood, Northcrest and Fort Gale want reliable security lighting on walls and gates, and many households look to solar because load-shedding and municipal outages are frequent. Rural homesteads around Qunu, Libode and Mqanduli use solar flood lights and solar garden lights where grid supply is unreliable. The area sees heavy summer storms, lightning and cold winter nights. Guesthouses towards the Wild Coast want warm path lighting. Electricians must issue a CoC.
Typical street lights requests in the area come from:
- Homes: a pole-mounted LED street light at the gate or along a long private driveway
- Municipalities, schools and clubs: LED street lights and HPS retrofits on public roads, taxi ranks and suburbs
- Shops and offices: LED street lights along office park roads, car parks and shopping centre access
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: low-glare street lights along lodge access roads and venue parking
- Farms and smallholdings: a few street lights along the farm road, yard and workers' housing
- Estates and complexes: LED street lights on internal roads managed by the body corporate or HOA
