Bright ideas for safer garden lighting
- Garden lighting is commonplace, but can create a safety risk if not properly installed.
- For mains supplied lighting in the garden follow these simple suggestions:
- Buy good quality electrical outdoor lighting equipment from a reputable stockist.
- Make sure any outdoor lights are weatherproof.
- Ensure light fittings used in water features are waterproof.
- Have it installed by a registered electrician in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and BS 7671 – Requirements for Electrical Installations (IET Wiring Regulations).
- Check regularly for damaged lighting fittings, cables and connections.
- Keep maintained and free from leaves and dirt.
- Before changing any lamps, make sure you switch off the power supply.
If any faults are found, switch off the electrical supply immediately, and have them repaired by a registered electrician.
