Free Lighting Design 34 Outdoor Fittings 2 Year On-Site Warranty

Garden lighting is seasonal work, right? Well, demand may rise as people spend more time outdoors, but its benefits go beyond recreation - outdoor lighting enhances safety, security, and the overall appeal of a space year-round. All in all, it’s business worth pursuing for electricians. But how do you stand out from the competition in this space?

When Andy Ireland decided he needed his garden illuminated, electrician Richard Gaunt sealed the deal because, as Andy noted, he was the only contractor to offer him a free lighting design !

Project Brief: Enhancing Safety and Ambience with Garden Lighting

Let’s set the scene. The area in question was Andy’s back garden, measuring approximately 88m² and shaped like a trapezoid. It features a terrace by the back door, with steps leading down to a small patio with a shed. The patio runs parallel to a wider green area with a couple of benches.

Andy wanted to transform this garden into a welcoming space for evening entertaining while ensuring it remained functional and safe. His vision included creating a warm, inviting atmosphere for social gatherings with carefully placed aesthetic lighting. At the same time, practical considerations were key - ensuring well-lit pathways, decking, and steps for both safety and ease of movement, especially for young children playing outdoors.

Additionally, security and accessibility were a priority, with lighting designed to enhance visibility at the rear entrance - the main access point to the home - as well as illuminating the shed housing an outdoor freezer.

Free Lighting Design with 3D Models of the Outdoor Lighting

Richard happens to be a fan of our MyROBUS app, especially its free lighting design service . This turned out to be the cherry on top of this project! At ROBUS, we have an in-house lighting design team here to help electricians create the perfect lighting plan for every job.

All you have to do to avail of the service is submit a request through the MyROBUS app. Our experts will then deliver a free, customised lighting design within 24 hours for standard projects.

“The app removed the burden of lighting design from me, the installer, while maintaining flexibility for modifications. The ability to show realistic visualisations of the final result impressed the customer, providing clarity and confidence before installation. The client noted that no other electricians had provided such a comprehensive design preview before installation, which set this project apart.” Richard Gaunt

Robust, Smart-Ready, and Easy to Install Garden Lights

The chosen ROBUS products were the perfect fit for this project, delivering style, reliability, and ease of installation that makes the electrician’s workday easier:

• KINGLET ground lights : Built with 316 marine-grade stainless steel housing, these luminaires provide superior corrosion resistance, making them ideal for outdoor use on steps to enhance visibility and safety.
• VEGAS LED strip : This is an electrician’s favourite! VEGAS matches with our clear, easy-clip connectors for a quick and easy installation. A warm white 3000K colour temperature was chosen for a relaxed, inviting atmosphere.
• ULTIMUM EXPRESS downlights : Developed with contractors-led design, these CCT4 selectable downlights feature a market-leading transparent 2-part connector for a super easy installation.
• DALI drivers: The current system is switch-operated, but the client is considering integrating a smart relay for automated dusk-to-dawn control while retaining manual switch functionality. For this reason, DALI was installed to offer precise dimming and control options for a more adaptable environment.

A Professional Outdoor Lighting Solution for a Multi-Functional Garden

Andy was delighted with the final result, praising the ease of visualisation enabled by the lighting design and the quality of the installation. For Richard, that’s a job well done!
