Beach houses around Clovelly Bay

Clovelly is a small beachside suburb around Clovelly Bay, a narrow rocky inlet between Bronte and Coogee, with shops along Clovelly Road. About half of its homes are houses or semis, and a little over a third are rented.

• Houses and semis close to the water, where salt air wears out outdoor power points and light fittings sooner than the same fittings inland
• Gardens, courtyards and pools used after dark, where garden and pool lighting needs fittings rated for wet areas
• Blocks of flats on the slopes above the bay, where common-area lighting is strata electrical work arranged through the strata manager

Outdoor and pool lighting in Clovelly

Outdoor electrical work near the sea has to cope with salt and moisture, so light fittings and power points for gardens, courtyards and pool surrounds need a weatherproof rating that suits where they sit, and they still wear out sooner than inland; a pool light that stops working is often the first sign. Garden lighting and pool lights should be on circuits protected by a safety switch.

Pool lights and pool equipment are fixed wiring, so in NSW they must be installed by a licensed electrician (see the DIY electrical rules), who issues a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work for the job.
