External lighting

We recently just finished a stunning lighting design and installation to a customers garden in Cambridge

The project was very different from out usual garden lighting projects. The garden was already finished and planted! So we couldn't dig and bury cables into positions and we also had to be careful about damaging plants and corrugated piping 

So the whole project was a complete retrofit! 

We had to think carefully about how we were going to install the cables and how the customer would be able to functionally switch them on 

Posh garden lighting is high in demand right now and my requests for quotations to install external lighting products still continue to rise 

I would like to share a few hints and tips with you when deciding on your project:

1. Decide on what colour lighting you wish to have in your garden and stick to the same colour throughout- I personally favour the warmer white coloured light (yellow like a candle). I believe this is the most relaxing type of lighting and the easiest on the eye. Perfect for the twilight on a warm summers evening 

Regulation 132.16 of BS7671:2018-Requirements for electrical installations states: No addition or alteration, temporary or permanent, shall be made to an existing installation, unless it has been ascertained that the rating and the condition of any existing equipment, including that of the distributor, will be adequate for the altered circumstances. Furthermore, the earthing and bonding arrangements, if necessary for the protective measure applied for the safety of the addition or alteration, shall be adequate

Id like to pick out a part of this regulation
