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 street lights requests in the area come from:
- Homes: a pole-mounted LED street light at the gate or along a long private driveway
- Industrial sites: street lighting along factory roads, truck routes and logistics parks
- 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
- 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
