Everything below is what an honest, NAPIT-approved contractor will actually do for you, not what a marketing agency thinks sounds good on a website. What it covers Security lighting and CCTV power covers PIR-controlled floodlights, dusk-till-dawn wall lanterns, driveway and pathway lighting, alleyway and rear-yard lighting, plus the permanent electrical supplies that cameras, NVRs, video doorbells and access control need. We install and certify the electrical side: the circuits, the isolation, the weatherproofing and the containment. Who it's for Homeowners who have had a break-in or want to stop worrying about a dark alleyway, landlords lighting shared entrances and rear yards, shops and pubs lighting service yards and fire exits, and small industrial units lighting car parks and loading bays. Also anyone who has bought a camera system online and needs a socket or fused supply putting in the right place, correctly. When you need it Before the clocks go back is when most people call, but the best time is during any exterior work, a driveway relay, a rear extension, a new fence line or a garage conversion, when cable routes are open and containment is cheap. Commercially, when a fire risk assessment, insurer or licensing officer flags poor external lighting on escape routes and service areas. Why professional matters External lighting is the cheapest deterrent there is, and it only works if it is installed properly. Fittings with the wrong IP rating fill with water within a season, cameras fed from a plug in a shed lose power every time something trips, and outdoor circuits without RCD protection are an EICR failure and a genuine shock risk. Getting the electrical design right is what makes the difference between a system that runs for a decade and one that fails the first wet winter. What Happens If You Leave It ## The cost of putting it off. Every one of these is something we see weekly. None of them get better on their own. ### Wrong IP rating outdoors IP44 is the minimum for a sheltered exterior position and IP65 for anything exposed to direct weather. Under-rated fittings fill with water, corrode and trip the circuit. ### Cameras on temporary supplies A camera or NVR fed from an extension lead through a window is a system that will be offline exactly when you need the footage. ### No RCD protection on outdoor circuits Any socket or circuit likely to supply equipment outdoors needs RCD protection. Missing it is a C2 on any EICR and a real shock risk. ### Interior cable used outside Standard twin and earth run across a wall or buried in a garden is not fit for purpose. Exterior runs need SWA or correctly rated and protected cable. Our Process ## How the job actually runs, start to finish. 1. Step 1 ### Site walk & light plan We walk the property with you at the actual problem points, entrances, alleys, driveways, and agree fitting positions and coverage before quoting. 2. Step 2 ### Circuit design We decide whether the load goes on an existing circuit or needs its own way in the board, and where isolation and switching should live. 3. Step 3 ### Cable routes & containment SWA where it is buried or exposed, clipped and cleated runs where it is not, and proper glands at every entry point. 4. Step 4 ### Install, seal & set up Fittings mounted, sealed and aimed. PIR sensitivity, timing and lux threshold set on site so lights come on when you want them and not at every passing cat. 5. Step 5 ### Test, certify & hand over Circuit tested to BS 7671, Minor Works or Installation Certificate issued, and a walk-through of controls and overrides. Benefits ## Why customers stick with us. ### Correctly rated fittings IP65 and above where the weather hits, stainless or coated fixings on coastal and exposed elevations. ### Permanent CCTV supplies Dedicated, labelled, RCD-protected supplies for cameras, NVRs and doorbells, with sensible isolation for maintenance. ### PIR set up properly Sensitivity, dwell time and lux threshold tuned on site, so you are not lying awake watching the drive light up all night. ### Tidy, discreet cabling Runs planned along mortar lines and behind downpipes, not stapled diagonally across the brickwork. ### Certified and EICR-friendly Every exterior circuit tested and certified, so it passes the next inspection rather than adding a code to it. ### Works with your installer Happy to provide the power and containment for a CCTV or alarm specialist and coordinate first fix with them. In Detail ## Everything else worth knowing. The specific materials, methods and situations that make this job go well, or badly, depending on who's doing it. [Request A Free Estimate](/contact) ### Choosing the right fitting for the position The three decisions that matter are IP rating, output and beam spread. IP44 suits a sheltered porch or a lantern under an overhang; anything on an open elevation, a gable end or a yard wall should be IP65 or better. Output matters less than people assume, a very bright floodlight aimed badly creates glare and deep shadow, which is worse for a camera than a moderate, well-aimed light. For driveways we generally use a wider beam at moderate output; for alleyways and side returns a narrow, lower-mounted fitting gives better usable coverage without blinding the camera or the neighbours. ### PIR, dusk-till-dawn or both PIR-controlled lighting is the right answer for deterrence: movement triggers a bright light, which is the effect you actually want. Dusk-till-dawn is better for orientation and low-level continuous coverage, entrances, shared paths, and anywhere a camera needs a baseline light level all night. Many properties want both: a low-output dusk-till-dawn lantern at the door plus a PIR floodlight covering the drive or rear yard. We set the lux threshold so a PIR light does not trigger in daylight, and set dwell time long enough to be useful without leaving the yard lit for twenty minutes. ### Powering CCTV, NVRs and video doorbells Most camera systems need three things from an electrician: a permanent supply at the camera or PoE switch position, a supply and a sensible location for the recorder, and a doorbell transformer or fused spur at the front door. We install a labelled, RCD-protected supply rather than relying on a nearby socket, put the NVR somewhere ventilated and not obvious to an intruder, and leave isolation so the system can be worked on safely later. Where a specialist installer is fitting the cameras, we provide first-fix power and containment to their layout and coordinate timings. ### Cable, containment and weatherproofing Buried runs use steel wire armoured cable at the correct depth with marker tape, glanded properly at both ends and earthed through the gland. Surface runs are clipped in straight lines along mortar joints, or in conduit where they are within reach. Every entry into a building is sealed and, where practical, taken through at a downward angle so water cannot track in. On exposed and coastal elevations, around Crosby and the Wirral especially, we use stainless fixings and check the fitting's gasket rather than trusting a bead of silicone. ### Commercial security lighting and escape routes Commercial sites have an extra layer: external escape routes and final exits need appropriate illumination, and that overlaps with BS 5266 emergency lighting rather than ordinary security lighting. We keep the two clearly separated, security and deterrent lighting on its own switched circuit, emergency lighting on maintained or non-maintained fittings with battery backup and a proper test regime. Yards, loading bays and car parks are usually best served by column or wall-mounted LED floods on a photocell with a timed override, so the site is not lit at full output all night for no reason. ### Light pollution, neighbours and aiming A badly aimed floodlight is the fastest way to fall out with a neighbour, and complaints about artificial light can be treated as a statutory nuisance. We aim fittings downward, use shielded or asymmetric optics where a boundary is close, and set PIR detection zones so they cover your property rather than the pavement or the neighbour's garden. It also makes the lighting more effective: light that stays on your ground is light that a camera can actually use. Common Questions ## Security Lighting & CCTV Power, answered.
