Stop Being Invisible After Sunset
Ever had a taxi drive past three times looking for your house? Or a delivery driver knock on next door because they couldn't read your number in the dark?

💡 Pro tip: Position it where it's visible from both directions of the street, not hidden behind a hedge or pillar.
Why Professional Install Matters
Here's the difference between a bodge job and doing it properly:
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ Done Wrong |
|---|---|
| Wired safely through the wall | Cables draped down outside |
| Level, secure mounting | Wonky and falling off after 6 months |
| Weatherproof connections | Water getting in, bulbs failing |
| Looks like it belongs there | Obviously stuck on as an afterthought |

What to Expect
Step 1: Position Check
We'll work out where it needs to go for best visibility from the road. Checking for cables/pipes behind the wall if drilling through.
Step 2: Secure Install
Mounted to your wall. If it's mains-powered, I'll drill through neatly and wire it to your electrics safely.
Step 3: Test & Adjust
Check it lights up properly, adjust the angle if needed, and make sure you know how it works (sensor settings, changing bulbs etc).
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to fit an illuminated house number yourself? Here's how:
🔧 Tools you'll need
- Drill with masonry bit
- Spirit level
- Screwdriver
- Wire strippers (for mains-powered)
- Electrical tester (for mains-powered)
- Wall plugs and screws
📐 Getting it positioned right
- Hold it against the wall at eye level (or just above)
- Stand back at the road to check it's visible
- Make sure it's straight using a spirit level
- Mark fixing holes with pencil
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Mounting too high - looks odd and hard to see from below
- Not checking what's behind the wall before drilling
- Poor electrical connections causing failures
- Forgetting to seal around wiring entry point (water gets in)
💡 Pro trick: If wiring through the wall, drill at a slight downward angle from outside so any moisture runs out instead of into your house.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Getting your front done up? Perfect time to add an illuminated number while work's happening anyway.
LED bulbs included? Most come with LEDs that'll last years. When they eventually need replacing, they're standard fittings you can get anywhere.
Solar vs mains power? Solar is easier to fit (no wiring) but needs decent daylight on that wall. Mains-powered is brighter and more reliable but costs a bit more to install.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I want an illuminated house number?
Mainly so people can actually find your house after dark - delivery drivers, taxis, guests, emergency services. If your number's hard to spot from the road, you'll know the frustration of people driving past. An illuminated number solves that instantly.
Does it need to be wired into my house electrics?
Depends on the type. Some run off mains power (wired through the wall to a socket or lighting circuit), others are solar powered or battery LED. I can advise which suits your setup - solar works well if you've got good daylight on that wall.
Can you fit it to my brick wall?
Yes - brick, render, whatever your front wall is. If it needs wiring, I'll drill through neatly and connect it inside. If it's solar or battery, just mounting is needed. Either way, it's fitted securely and looks the part.
Will it be on all the time?
Most have a dusk-to-dawn sensor so they only light up when it gets dark - saves energy and the bulb lasts longer. You can also get ones with motion sensors that only light up when someone approaches.
How long does it take to install?
Battery or solar versions: about an hour. Mains-wired ones take longer - usually 1.5-2 hours because I'm drilling through, connecting to your electrics, and testing everything works safely.
