Outdoor & Security Lighting Installation
If you're looking to brighten up your garden, improve home security, or simply make your outdoor space usable throughout the darker months, professional outdoor lighting is one of the most effective upgrades you can make. We design and install energy-efficient LED lighting across Horley, Crawley, Reigate, Redhill and the surrounding Surrey and West Sussex area, to current wiring regulations and properly weatherproofed for outdoor use.
Garden & Landscape Lighting
Good garden lighting does two jobs at once - it extends how usable your outdoor space is after dark, and it highlights the features worth showing off, from mature trees and water features to a recently landscaped patio. We install LED spotlights, ground uplighters, spike lights for borders, and wall-mounted fittings, tailored to the shape and use of your garden rather than a one-size-fits-all setup.
With long winter evenings across Horley and Crawley, well-planned garden lighting makes decking, pathways and seating areas safe and usable year-round - not just something for summer barbecues.
Patio, Decking & Driveway Lighting
Patios, decking and driveways are some of the most requested areas for lighting, and each has slightly different requirements. Decking lighting typically uses low-glare or recessed fittings built into the structure itself; driveway lighting favours bollards or ground-level units that mark the route without dazzling; patio lighting is usually a mix of ambient and task lighting depending on how the space gets used in the evening.
All of this is wired and circuit-protected specifically for outdoor conditions - outdoor circuits have different requirements to indoor ones, and getting that wrong is a common cause of nuisance tripping and, in worse cases, a genuine safety risk.
Security Lighting
Security lighting is one of the most effective and cost-efficient deterrents available to homeowners and businesses. A well-positioned floodlight or PIR-activated fitting makes a property a far less attractive target, extends usable outdoor space into the evening, and provides peace of mind that a camera alone doesn't offer - criminals overwhelmingly prefer darkness, and the sudden activation of a PIR floodlight is often enough on its own to send an opportunist elsewhere.
The highest-risk areas on most domestic properties are side gates, rear gardens, driveways and outbuildings - locations that tend to be unlit and out of sight from the road. For example, Horley's mix of detached and semi-detached housing, with many properties having rear access lanes and detached garages, makes this particularly relevant locally.
We install floodlights, PIR motion sensors, dusk-to-dawn units, and smart-controlled LED security lighting that can be managed from your phone, Alexa or Google Home.
Outbuildings, Summerhouses & Garden Offices
If a summerhouse, garden office or outbuilding needs power run out to it, we handle that safely and to current regulations - rather than the extension-lead workarounds that cause problems further down the line. This covers everything from a single lighting circuit to full power and data for a garden office setup.
Areas We Cover
We install outdoor and security lighting across Horley, Crawley, Reigate, Redhill, Merstham, Smallfield, Copthorne and the surrounding Surrey and West Sussex area, including Maidenbower, Pound Hill, Furnace Green, Langley Green, Bewbush, Charlwood and Hookwood.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does security lighting actually deter crime? Yes. Security lighting is consistently rated as one of the most effective physical deterrents available. Opportunistic criminals rely on darkness and cover - a motion-activated floodlight removes both.
Where should security lighting be positioned? The highest-risk areas are typically rear gardens, side gates, driveways and outbuildings - locations that are often unlit and out of view from the road or neighbouring properties.
Can outdoor lighting be controlled from my phone? Yes - we install smart-controlled LED lighting that can be managed via an app, Alexa or Google Home, alongside traditional PIR and dusk-to-dawn setups.
Do you wire power to summerhouses and garden offices? Yes, to current wiring regulations - this is a common job alongside general garden and security lighting work.
