Outdoor & Garden Lighting in Geelong

Outdoor & alfresco area lighting

Alfresco and entertaining areas are where most Geelong households want light first. We install lighting for patios, pergolas, verandahs and outdoor kitchens — eave and soffit downlights, wall lights, weatherproof pendants over an outdoor table, and discreet LED strip tucked under a pergola beam. Every fitting is chosen for its exposure: a sheltered alfresco ceiling can take a standard outdoor fitting, while anything exposed to driving rain needs a higher IP rating.

For security and convenience we also fit sensor floodlights and motion-activated entry lights around driveways, side gates, sheds and dark corners of the block. Sensor lighting is one of the cheapest, most effective deterrents you can add, and we can set it to come on at dusk, on movement, or both.

Deck lighting

Deck lighting is about safety and atmosphere in equal measure. We install recessed deck lights flush into the boards, step and stair lights so no one misses an edge in the dark, post-cap lights along balustrades, and warm LED strip under handrails and bench seating. Most deck lighting runs on a low-voltage 12V system fed from a transformer, which keeps the fittings cool, the cabling discreet and the result beautifully even.

Lighting is best planned while a deck is being built, not retrofitted afterwards — cable runs can be hidden in the framing before the boards go down. For full outdoor makeovers — new decks, retaining walls and garden builds — we often work alongside LJ Concreting and Landscaping, wiring the lighting in as the landscaping takes shape so the finished job has no visible conduit or afterthoughts.

Garden lighting

Out in the garden, lighting is what ties the whole scheme together. We install garden-bed and path lighting to guide people safely to the door, spike spotlights to up-light established trees and feature plants, and up/down wall washes to bring texture to fences, rendered walls and water features. Thoughtful layering — a little light at ankle height, some at eye level and a few accents above — looks far better than a single bright flood.

Most garden lighting uses low-voltage 12V fittings run from a weatherproof transformer, which is safe around soil, mulch and irrigation and easy to extend later. We can add smart and timer control so the garden lights itself at sunset and switches off automatically, and we'll make sure the supply circuit is protected and has the capacity for the lighting you want now and the additions you'll inevitably want next year.

Outdoor and garden lighting is part of our wider residential electrical work, so it can be combined with extra outdoor power points, switchboard capacity or an EV charger on the same visit. To talk through a scheme for your place, get in touch for a fixed quote.
