We design outdoor floodlighting for driveways, gardens, patios, pathways, boundaries and outdoor spaces, creating safer, better-lit areas across St Albans, Harpenden and Hertfordshire.
We design and install garden floodlighting, security floodlights and sports floodlighting across St Albans and Hertfordshire. From illuminating a driveway or garden boundary to lighting a tennis court, MUGA or outdoor workspace, we specify the right fittings, controls and electrical installation for the space.
As a NICEIC Approved Contractor and TrustMark Registered installer, we provide professional garden floodlighting, security lighting and outdoor lighting across St Albans and Hertfordshire. With 70+ five-star reviews, we’re trusted for reliable electrical installation and quality workmanship. We specify floodlights based on wattage, lumens, beam angle, IP rating, impact protection and controls, providing suitable solutions for residential, commercial, security and sports applications. We offer clear, no-obligation estimates before work begins.
We design each outdoor lighting installation around its purpose. That could mean improving visibility along a driveway, illuminating a rear garden, providing security lighting around a garage or creating even lighting across a private sports court.
When planning an installation, we consider fitting position, mounting height, beam angle and aiming direction to keep useful light focused on the intended area.
We select the beam distribution according to the area being illuminated rather than simply choosing the widest beam available.
We adjust the fittings during commissioning to direct the useful light where it is required.
Careful positioning and aiming can help reduce unnecessary illumination beyond your property.
For security applications, PIR activation can reduce the amount of time a floodlight operates compared with continuous illumination.
We consider lumens, mounting height, beam angle, coverage area and the intended use when selecting your floodlights. The final specification depends on the size of the area, fitting design, mounting height, beam angle and required lighting level.
| Application | Typical LED Specification | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Single garage or side gate | 10–20W | Small access points and structures |
| Double garage or workshop | 20–50W | Wider frontages and work areas |
| Residential driveway | 30–50W | Driveway and approach lighting |
| Large driveway / rear boundary | 50–100W | Larger outdoor areas |
| Tennis court | 100–200W per fitting | Multiple fittings with controlled beam distribution |
| Five-a-side / MUGA | 100–150W per fitting | Column-mounted sports floodlighting |
| Garden office / workshop | 30–50W LED panel | Task and general working illumination |
We installed discreet lighting and power across three designer gardens at RHS Wisley. Using 32 lights and six power supplies to highlight rare plants and create a calming, immersive evening experience.
During a £14 million spa refurbishment, we worked with leading designers to install lighting for a tranquil courtyard garden — a scheme that brings calm, elegance, and atmosphere as day turns to night.
Working alongside lighting and garden designers, we delivered a bespoke scheme for this six acre estate in Chesham covering ancient trees, meadows, fountains, and formal gardens.
Our Process
01
We assess your property, coverage requirements, mounting points and cable routes.
02
We specify suitable floodlights and complete the electrical installation with discreet, practical cabling.
03
We position and aim each light for effective coverage, then test the system and set up any sensors or controls.
The cost depends on the number of floodlights, fitting type, cable runs, mounting arrangements, controls and installation complexity. We’ll assess your property and provide a tailored estimate.
There isn’t a standard number. We consider the size and shape of the area, mounting positions, lumen output and beam angle before recommending the number and position of fittings.
The required wattage depends on the driveway’s size, layout and the floodlight itself. We look at lumen output and beam distribution as well as wattage when specifying driveway floodlights.
Yes. PIR floodlights can provide useful illumination when movement is detected around driveways, gates, garages and access routes. We position and commission the sensor according to the area being covered.
Yes. Depending on the installation, we can incorporate PIR sensors, photocells, timers or compatible smart controls.
Yes. We consider the position and direction of neighbouring properties when planning the installation and aim fittings towards the area that needs illuminating.
