We recently completed an outdoor lighting installation on Saxon Way in Bradley Stoke, improving both the appearance and security of the property.
Well-designed outdoor lighting can completely transform a space, making it more usable in the evenings while also increasing safety and visibility.
About the Installation
PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor lighting is one of the most popular choices for driveways, paths and external areas. Rather than running continuously, a PIR fitting activates when it detects movement within its detection zone and switches off after a set period — typically between 1 and 10 minutes depending on the setting.
This combination of automatic activation and energy efficiency makes PIR lighting particularly effective as a security deterrent, as well as a practical solution for areas where people tend to approach with their hands full.
What We Installed
We installed a new outdoor lighting setup at the property on Saxon Way, Bradley Stoke, with PIR sensor fittings positioned to cover the key external areas of the property.
- External wall-mounted LED fittings with integrated PIR sensors
- Weatherproof wiring and IP-rated connections throughout
- Sensitivity and timing configured on completion
- Fully tested and signed off on completion
Getting the Right Coverage
The effectiveness of outdoor lighting depends heavily on positioning. PIR sensors have a defined detection angle — typically around 180 degrees — and a maximum detection range, so placement needs to account for the area you want to cover without triggering on passing pedestrians or traffic on the road.
All fittings for outdoor use need an appropriate IP (Ingress Protection) rating. For exposed positions, IP65 or higher is standard — this ensures the fitting is fully sealed against dust and protected against low-pressure jets of water from any direction.
