We visit the property first, then put together a lighting plan and quote before any wiring goes in. When to consider outdoor lighting ## Signs your garden could use better lighting You don't need a finished plan to get started. If any of the below sound familiar, it's worth arranging a design visit. ! ### Dark paths and steps Unlit walkways, steps or driveways can be a trip hazard once the sun goes down. ! ### Outdoor areas go unused at night A deck, patio or entertaining area is hard to enjoy after dark without proper lighting. ! ### Ageing or failing fittings Old outdoor lights, exposed cabling or fittings that are no longer weatherproof should be assessed by an electrician. ! ### No lighting control Lights left on manual switches only, with no timer, sensor or app control, can be inconvenient and waste power. What the work can include ## Garden and outdoor lighting planned for your property The right approach depends on the garden, the existing power supply and how you want to use the space. A typical project may include the following work. ### Low-voltage garden lighting Low-voltage systems for garden beds, borders and pathways, run from a dedicated transformer. ### Deck, path and step lighting Fittings positioned to light the areas people actually walk through, without harsh glare. ### Feature and uplighting Uplights for trees, garden beds or architectural features to give the garden depth at night. ### Weatherproof outdoor power IP-rated power points and junctions suited to an outdoor or garden environment. ### Sensor and smart controls Timers, dusk-to-dawn sensors, motion sensors or app-based control added where useful. ### Testing and documentation Circuits are tested before handover, with a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) provided where required. Local work in Gladesville ## Garden lighting for Gladesville properties This completed Gladesville job included replacing four garden spike lights connected to the existing garden-lighting system. The new fittings were secured, connected, tested and aimed to suit the surrounding planting. - Four garden spike lights replaced - New fittings connected to the existing system - Operation and alignment tested before completion [Request a quote](https://russoelectrical.com.au/request-a-quote/) ![Replacement garden spike light operating in a Gladesville garden](https://russoelectrical.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/completed-garden-spike-light-gladesville.webp) Replacement spike light installed and tested in Gladesville Completed local work ## See the Gladesville garden-lighting job The linked case study documents the specific replacement work and keeps the completed-job evidence separate from this broader service page. ![Existing garden spike light before replacement in Gladesville](https://russoelectrical.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/existing-garden-spike-light-gladesville.webp) Before ![Replacement garden spike light installed in Gladesville](https://russoelectrical.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/completed-garden-spike-light-gladesville.webp) After Gladesville case study ### Four garden spike lights replaced See the completed local work, including the existing fitting, replacement installation and verified job scope.

Common questions ## Garden and outdoor lighting FAQs Can outdoor lighting be added to my existing switchboard? In most cases, yes. The switchboard and existing circuits are checked first to confirm there's capacity, or whether a new circuit or minor board work is needed as part of the job. What's the difference between low-voltage and mains-voltage garden lighting? Low-voltage systems run through a transformer and are common for garden beds and path lighting, while mains-voltage fittings are used for some fixed outdoor lighting. The right option depends on the layout and what's being lit. Do outdoor circuits need safety switch protection? Outdoor power and lighting circuits need to meet the relevant wiring rules for safety switch protection. This is checked and, where needed, added as part of the work. Is a compliance certificate provided for lighting work? For electrical wiring work in NSW, a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) is completed and provided where required. Can the lighting be controlled by timers, sensors or an app? Yes. Timers, dusk-to-dawn or motion sensors, and app-based smart controls can all be included in the design where they suit how the space is used. ## Thinking about garden or outdoor lighting in Gladesville?
