Our team recently headed to St Austell for an interesting lighting job that involved two distinct tasks. The first part of our work focused on replacing a faulty exterior light fitting. The homeowners had already picked out a lovely lantern-style fixture, and we were more than happy to install it for them. It’s always nice when clients bring their own style to a project, and this choice certainly added a touch of charm to the property’s exterior.

The second part of our job took us to the external side of the garage, where we were tasked with reinstating an exterior light fitting. This wasn’t just about putting a light back where it once was; we saw it as a chance to improve both the look and functionality of the space.

For both lights, we didn’t just stop at installation. We wired them up to be controlled by an internal wall switch, giving the homeowners easy control from inside. But we went a step further and installed a ‘dusk til dawn’ photocell sensor. This clever bit of tech automatically turns the lights on when it gets dark and off when the sun comes up, saving our clients the hassle of remembering to switch them on and off manually.

The end result is a well-lit exterior that blends style with practicality. The lantern-style fitting adds a classic touch to the front of the house, while the reinstated garage light ensures no area is left in the dark. Both enhance the property’s appearance during the day and provide essential illumination at night.

We’re really pleased with how this dual-aspect project turned out. It shows how addressing different lighting needs can come together to make a big difference to a home’s exterior. The combination of carefully chosen fittings and smart technology not only improves the look of the property but also adds an extra layer of security and convenience for our clients. It’s this kind of comprehensive solution that we always aim to provide in our work.
