In short

Ambient Electrical does outdoor lighting installation for gardens, paths, stairs, decks, water features and pools across Sydney's Eastern Suburbs. Outdoor fittings have to cope with weather, water and salty coastal air, so they are chosen and wired for where they will sit. Lights on stairs and paths cut the risk of trips and falls after dark, and bright sensor lights help deter intruders.

Garden lighting can give a garden a new life after dark, show off its best features and make it safer and more secure.

Peter designs and fits practical, good-looking garden lighting, from lighting a water feature to safety lights on decking, for homes and businesses across the Eastern Suburbs.

Designing garden lighting

Every garden is different. You might use your garden as a place for entertaining, as a play area for the little ones, or as a natural habitat to attract wildlife. Your garden might include high-end features like waterfalls and rockeries, or you might have a simple yard. No matter what your outdoor style is, having the right lighting can make all the difference to the look and feel of that space.

Sensor and security lighting

Lighting up your garden makes it a safer place for you and your family. Lighting in stairs and decking can reduce the risk of trips and falls. Bright, sensor-based lights can also deter intruders or scare away unwanted animals.

Lighting features after dark

As well as being practical, garden lighting can create gorgeous nighttime looks in your outdoor space. Carefully placed lights can bring magic to a waterfall or fountain, illuminate a stylish rockery or flower bed, or turn a dull tree into a stunning feature.

Built for the weather

Garden lighting has to withstand the weather, and near the beach the salt air as well, which is why it should be installed by a licensed electrician who chooses fittings for where they will sit.

Peter is a licensed electrician, and every lighting installation is tested before it is handed over. You can be sure that your new lighting system is safe for you and your family to operate, and that it will go on looking great for many years to come.

What a customer says about this work

Ambient Electrical did an outstanding job installing external lighting and electrical points throughout our sandstone/pool areas and garden. Peter is a true expert in his craft and was exceptional at resolving several issues we had inherited from work completed by our builder.

He worked incredibly well alongside our stone cladding team to achieve a stunning result, and his attention to detail was second to none. The team also completed numerous light, fan and power point installations throughout our home, and nothing was ever a problem.

Ambient Electrical is reasonably priced, honest, reliable and highly professional. On top of that, Peter is a genuinely wonderful person who takes great pride in his work.

I would highly recommend Peter and Ambient Electrical to anyone looking for a skilled and trustworthy electrician. You would be very fortunate to have him work on your home.

Garden lighting: common questions

Why should a licensed electrician install garden lighting?

Outdoor lighting has to withstand weather, water and ground movement, so it needs to be designed and installed to be safe as well as look good. Ambient designs lighting for water features, rockeries, paths, stairs and decks.

Can garden lighting improve safety and security?

Lighting on stairs, paths and decking reduces the risk of trips and falls after dark, and bright sensor lights can deter intruders and scare off unwanted animals.

Will I get a compliance certificate for new outdoor lights?

New outdoor lights are an addition to the electrical installation, so they need a CCEW lodged with Building Commission NSW, and the eCert portal sends you a copy.

What affects the cost of outdoor lighting?

The cost of outdoor lighting depends on how many lights there are, how far cable has to run from the house, whether trenching is needed, and the fittings you choose. Peter gives you a clear quote before any work starts.
