Outdoor lighting in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a university and winelands town, with oak-lined historic streets, student accommodation, Technopark offices and many wine estates and restaurants. Wine farms and wedding venues want festoon lighting, landscape and up-lighting for gardens and trees, and robust floods for cellars. Homes in Die Boord, Paradyskloof and Uniepark and estates such as De Zalze and Jonkershoek want garden and security lighting, and heritage and estate rules often control glare and fitting style. Winters are wet and cold, summers hot and dry with the southeaster. Solar is common during load-shedding. A registered electrician must issue a CoC for fixed wiring.
Typical string lights requests in the area come from:
- Lodges, guesthouses and venues: connectable festoons over wedding lawns, lodge decks and restaurant terraces
- Estates and complexes: warm strings over the clubhouse terrace and communal braai area
- Homes: festoon strings over the patio and braai area, fairy lights in the garden trees
- Farms and smallholdings: festoons over the farm stoep, barn dances and outdoor wedding spaces
- Shops and offices: festoon canopies over restaurant forecourts, markets and shopping centre courtyards
- Municipalities, schools and clubs: festive string lights across main streets, parks and public squares
Choosing fittings for Stellenbosch
The main thing that wears out outdoor lights in Stellenbosch is winter rain and summer southeaster, so ask for solid brass or bronze fittings rated IP65. A cheaper fitting that fails after one season costs more than a good one once the electrician's call-out is added.
String Lights usually come at IP44 to IP65, with 2200 K to 2700 K extra warm. 0.5 to 2 W per bulb, 230 V or solar.
What to include in your request
- Give the total length of each run to be lit
- Say whether the area is covered or exposed
- State whether you want to buy, hire or have them installed
- Mention if you need a new outdoor plug point
- Give the date if it is for an event or festive season
The more detail you give, the more accurate your quote will be.
