Lights on all night? Sensors fix that
The Australian Government says sensors can turn off lighting when a room is unoccupied or when daylight is sufficient. The same works outside with dusk-to-dawn and motion sensors.

Dann's Electrical designs, installs and repairs outdoor lighting for homes across Penrith, Western Sydney, the Blue Mountains and Hawkesbury.
Outdoor lights deal with rain, heat, dust and garden sprinklers, so the fittings, cable and connections all need to be rated for it. We use weather-rated LED fittings and run the cabling properly, not along the fence with a plug-in transformer.
We plan the layout with you: which paths and steps need light for safety, which trees and walls are worth lighting, and where sensors will stop lights burning all night. Lighting we install carries a 7-year warranty, parts and labour.
Outdoor lights that have stopped working, trip the safety switch when it rains or have a sensor that won't behave usually have water in a fitting, a damaged cable or a failed sensor. We trace the fault and fix it, and can swap old halogen floods for LED at the same time.

Outdoor lighting facts
Running costs and rules from the Australian and NSW Governments.
The Australian Government says sensors can turn off lighting when a room is unoccupied or when daylight is sufficient. The same works outside with dusk-to-dawn and motion sensors.
The NSW Government says you need an electrical licence or certificate before you can do any electrical wiring work, including new outdoor circuits.
The NSW Government says DIY electrical work is dangerous and illegal and can void your insurance. That includes installing, replacing or moving lights, switches and powerpoints.
Where we work
Yes. We use outdoor-rated fittings, cable and connections built for rain, heat and dust, and install them so water can't get in.
Yes. We install sensor floods and wall lights for entries, driveways, side passages and sheds, set up so they don't trigger every time a tree moves.
Yes. We walk the yard with you and work out where light is needed for safety, what's worth lighting and where sensors and timers make sense.
Not much with LEDs. The Australian Government says LEDs use about 75% less energy than halogens, and sensors and timers stop lights running when nobody needs them.
Lighting we install carries a 7-year warranty, parts and labour.
Usually water is getting into a fitting, a junction or a damaged cable, and the safety switch is doing its job. Don't keep resetting it. We find where the water is getting in and repair or replace the fitting or cable.
Yes. It's usually the sensor's settings, a failed sensor or a wiring fault. We test it and repair or replace what's needed.
