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 string lights requests in the area come from:
- Homes: festoon strings over the patio and braai area, fairy lights in the garden trees
- Industrial sites: temporary festoons for year-end functions in warehouse yards and canteens
- Municipalities, schools and clubs: festive string lights across main streets, parks and public squares
- Shops and offices: festoon canopies over restaurant forecourts, markets and shopping centre courtyards
- Farms and smallholdings: festoons over the farm stoep, barn dances and outdoor wedding spaces
- Estates and complexes: warm strings over the clubhouse terrace and communal braai area
Choosing fittings for Welkom
The main thing that wears out outdoor lights in Welkom is lightning and power interruptions, so ask for solar-backed floods with surge-protected controllers, 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.
