Professional mains electric garden lighting installation with certified electricians. Proper outdoor cabling, quality fixtures, dramatic lighting effects, and full electrical certification.

### Why Choose Electric Garden Lighting?

Because solar lights are fine for ambience but rubbish for actually lighting a garden properly. Mains electric lighting is bright, reliable, and transformative. It turns your garden into usable outdoor living space after dark.

We coordinate with certified electricians to install complete outdoor lighting systems - path lighting, uplighting for features, wall lights, spotlights, deck lights, and architectural lighting. Everything is wired to code, tested properly, and certified.

### What's Involved

This isn't a quick job like solar lights. We're running armoured cable underground, installing weatherproof switches and controls, mounting fixtures properly, and connecting everything to your consumer unit safely and legally.

The electrician designs the system based on your lighting goals, runs cables, installs lights, tests everything thoroughly, and provides certification. We handle the groundwork, trenching, and making good afterwards.

> 💡 **Pro tip:** Install more circuits than you think you need. Adding zones later is expensive. Having separate circuits for different areas gives you flexibility in how you light your garden.

### Done Right vs Done Wrong

| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong | |--------------|---------------| | Armoured cable buried at proper depth | Standard cable shoved in conduit | | IP65+ rated outdoor fixtures | Indoor lights bodged outside | | Proper earthing and RCD protection | Dodgy connections and shortcuts | | Certified by qualified electrician | "My mate did it cheap" |

Good to Know

**Combine with:** Garden clearance, patio installation, landscaping **Related services:** Solar lighting installation (cheaper alternative) Running costs are worth considering. LED garden lighting is efficient but you're still paying for electricity. A typical system might cost £50-150 per year to run depending on usage. Smart controls and timers help manage costs. Maintenance is minimal with quality fixtures, but budget for occasional bulb replacement and cleaning. IP65+ rated lights should last years outdoors, but cheap ones will fail quickly in Devon weather. Think about future garden plans. If you might install a shed, patio, or water feature later, run cable for it now while trenches are open. Adding power afterwards means digging up established gardens. This is the garden lighting option that actually makes a difference. Solar lights are nice. Electric lights are transformative. Budget accordingly and you won't regret it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Garden Lighting Installation - Electric in Honiton

How much does electric garden lighting installation cost?

Electric garden lighting requires qualified electrical work and varies based on cable runs, number of lights, and complexity. Expect £500+ for basic installations, £1500-3000+ for comprehensive systems. We provide detailed quotes after site assessment.

Do I need a certified electrician for garden lighting?

Yes. Any mains electrical work outdoors requires a Part P certified electrician for safety and compliance. We work with certified electricians to ensure professional, legal installation with all necessary certification.

How is electric garden lighting different from solar?

Electric lighting is far brighter and more reliable than solar. It works regardless of weather, provides consistent illumination, and offers much more control. The trade-off is higher installation cost and running costs.

Can you add garden lighting to existing electrics?

Usually yes, either from an existing outdoor socket or by adding a dedicated circuit. The electrician will assess your consumer unit capacity and recommend the safest approach during the quote visit.
