- Garden & Outdoor Lighting Installation
Outdoor lighting can make a big difference to how your home looks and feels after dark. It can improve safety around your property, highlight garden features, and make outdoor spaces more enjoyable in the evening.
At 12 Electrical, we install garden and outdoor lighting for homeowners across Cardiff and South Wales. Whether you’re looking to light up a driveway, add lighting to a patio area, or install security lights around your home, our electricians can help design and install a system that works for your space.
All work is carried out safely and in line with current UK electrical regulations, using weatherproof fittings designed for outdoor use.
Outdoor Lighting We Install
We install a wide range of outdoor lighting solutions depending on your needs and the layout of your property. This can include:
- Garden and landscape lighting
- Driveway and pathway lighting
- Patio and decking lights
- Motion sensor security lights
- LED garden lighting systems
- Wall-mounted exterior lights
- Feature lighting for plants or outdoor areas
If you’re not sure what type of lighting would work best, we can help recommend suitable options based on your garden or outdoor space.
Improve Safety Around Your Property
A well-lit outdoor area helps make your home safer at night. Lighting can reduce dark spots around your property and make it easier to move around pathways, steps, and entrances.
Security lighting is also a popular option for many homeowners. Motion sensor lights can help deter unwanted visitors while providing instant lighting when someone approaches your home.
These are commonly installed near:
- Front doors and entrances
- Driveways and garages
- Side access paths
- Back gardens and patios
Energy-Efficient LED Outdoor Lighting
Many outdoor lighting systems now use LED technology, which provides bright lighting while using far less energy than traditional bulbs.
LED lighting also lasts much longer, which means fewer replacements and less maintenance over time.
If you already have outdoor lighting installed, we can also upgrade older systems to modern LED fittings.
Safe and Weatherproof Installation
Outdoor electrical work needs to be installed properly to handle rain, moisture, and temperature changes. Our electricians make sure all outdoor lighting is installed using suitable outdoor-rated equipment and safe wiring methods.
This includes using weatherproof fittings, proper circuit protection, and ensuring the installation complies with current electrical safety standards.
We provide garden and outdoor lighting installation for homes across Cardiff and surrounding areas of South Wales. Whether you’re upgrading existing lighting or installing a completely new setup, we aim to provide a safe and reliable installation.

Frequentkly Asked Questions
How much does outdoor lighting installation cost?
The cost can vary depending on the type of lights you want and how much wiring is required. A simple security light installation will usually cost less than a full garden lighting setup with multiple fittings. Once we know what you’re planning, we can give you a clear quote for the work.
Can outdoor lights be connected to my existing wiring?
Sometimes they can, but it depends on the condition and location of the existing wiring. In some homes the current circuit can be used, while in others it may be safer to install a dedicated connection. We’ll always check this first to make sure everything is installed safely and meets electrical regulations.
What type of lighting works best for gardens?
Most homeowners now choose LED lighting for outdoor areas. LED lights are energy efficient, last much longer than traditional bulbs, and provide bright, reliable lighting for paths, patios, and garden features.
Are outdoor lights safe in rain and bad weather?
Yes, as long as they are installed correctly. Outdoor lights are designed to be weather resistant and suitable for outdoor conditions. We install proper weatherproof fittings and ensure the wiring is safely protected.
Can you install motion sensor security lights?
Yes. Motion sensor lights are a popular option for driveways, entrances, and back gardens. They switch on automatically when movement is detected, which helps improve visibility and can also act as a deterrent.
