Frequently Asked Questions about Exterior light fitting in Sidmouth
Do exterior lights need special fittings?
Yes - they need IP-rated lights that can handle rain and temperature changes. We use appropriate outdoor fittings and weatherproof junction boxes. Indoor lights outside will fail quickly.
Can you connect to existing wiring?
Usually yes - if there's an existing outdoor light, we can connect to that supply. New installations may need cable running from inside, but we keep it neat.
What about PIR sensors?
Motion-sensor lights are brilliant for security and convenience. We fit lights with built-in PIR or add separate sensors. They can be adjusted for sensitivity and duration.
Will drilling damage my walls?
We drill carefully and use appropriate fixings for your wall type. Any holes for cabling are sealed against water ingress. Your walls stay watertight.
