External lighting and power

PGS Electrical contractors understand the necessity of outside power and lighting we will always attempt to make a site visit to the property to ascertain the existing installation meets the requirements of the regulations.

Do outdoor lights need to be on their own circuit?

PGS Electrical contractors understand the necessity of outside power and lighting we will always attempt to make a site visit to the property to ascertain the existing installation meets the requirements of the regulations before we make alterations or additions to the electrical installation. Ideally, outdoor lights should be on a separate circuit – that way, if something goes wrong, they don't trip the indoor lighting too. They don't have to be on a separate circuit, but you must properly insulate the circuit to protect it from the weather.
