Outdoor lighting in Sandton

Sandton's outdoor lighting is often about design as much as security. Large homes in Hyde Park, Bryanston, Morningside and Atholl call for landscape uplighting, pool lighting and architectural wall washes, while cluster complexes in Rivonia and Sunninghill need practical bulkheads and floods. The Sandton CBD, hotels and office towers add commercial and hospitality work. Summer lightning and hail are constant risks, and stolen cable has left some roads with dark streetlights. High walls and long driveways make motion-activated security lighting standard. Many homeowners add battery backup or solar for load-shedding. Residents' associations may object to glare, and a CoC is required for mains wiring.
