Outdoor Lighting Installation FAQs
Can I install my own outdoor lights?
Plug in garden lights that connect to a standard outlet can be set up by homeowners, but any
hard wired outdoor lighting must be installed by a licensed electrician to stay safe and
compliant with Australian standards.
What type of outdoor lights work best near the coast?
Coastal homes often need fittings with higher corrosion resistance and suitable IP ratings.
Electricians who work in your area can recommend brands and finishes that handle salt and wind
better over time.
Can outdoor lights be added to a smart home system?
Many outdoor lighting circuits can be controlled with smart switches, sensors or hubs. If this
interests you, mention the platforms you use so electricians can offer compatible options.
What information should I include in my job post?
Describe the areas to be lit, any existing power points or lights nearby, whether you want
simple switching or sensors, and if you already have fittings ready to install.
