Outdoor lighting improves both security and the evening appearance of your property. Smart Choice Sparks installs weatherproof external fittings, garden feature lights, and security lighting across Hampshire and Berkshire, all wired from a properly protected outdoor circuit. Cables are run in protective conduit or buried at the correct depth to meet BS 7671.
Matthew visits to discuss where lighting is needed and the best routing for outdoor circuits.
Dedicated outdoor circuit is run from the consumer unit; cables are buried or run in conduit.
Fittings are mounted, wired, and sealed to the correct IP rating for external use.
The circuit is tested and any timers, PIR sensors, or controls are commissioned.
Yes — provided the fittings and wiring are correctly specified for outdoor use. External fittings must have the correct IP (ingress protection) rating; cable runs must be in armoured cable or protected conduit. Smart Choice Sparks selects and installs to the appropriate standards throughout.
Buried cable runs use steel wire armoured (SWA) cable, installed at the correct depth and marked with cable warning tape. This protects the circuit from accidental damage during future gardening or landscaping work.
Yes. Adding a weatherproof outdoor socket to the same visit and circuit is a common add-on. Let Matthew know when booking so it can be included in the quote.

Learn moreIf your fuse box is old or no longer meets current regulations, a consumer unit upgrade improves safety and brings your home's protection up to date. Smart Choice Sparks replaces outdated fuseboards with a modern unit fitted with RCDs and MCBs, giving your home significantly better fault and shock protection. An upgrade is often needed before selling a property, remortgaging, or extending a circuit.
