Practical, safe and stylish exterior lighting solutions from a trusted Isle of Wight electrician

TL;DR – Garden Lighting at a Glance

  • Professionally installed garden lighting improves safety, security and usability
  • LED systems are energy efficient, low maintenance and long lasting
  • Well-designed lighting enhances patios, pathways and garden features
  • All exterior electrics must comply with current UK wiring regulations
  • Installed by Keith Coleman, NICEIC Approved electrician on the Isle of Wight

As an electrician on the Isle of Wight with over 30 years’ experience, I’ve seen first-hand how well-designed garden lighting can completely transform an outdoor space. Whether it’s subtle lighting along pathways, feature lighting to highlight planting, or practical illumination for patios and seating areas, professional garden lighting adds beauty, safety, and value to your home.

At Jeelek Electrical Services, we regularly help homeowners across the Island make better use of their gardens all year round with carefully planned and safely installed exterior lighting.


Why Garden Lighting Is More Than Just a Finishing Touch

Many people think of garden lighting as purely decorative, but it serves several important purposes:

  • Improved safety – well-lit pathways, steps and entrances reduce the risk of trips and falls
  • Enhanced security – lighting acts as a deterrent and improves visibility around your property
  • Extended living space – enjoy patios, decking and gardens long after the sun goes down
  • Added kerb appeal – tasteful exterior lighting can significantly increase property appeal

As a NICEIC Approved Contractor, safety is always my first priority. Outdoor electrics must be installed correctly to withstand the elements and comply fully with BS7671 18th Edition Wiring Regulations.


Types of Garden Lighting We Install

Every garden is different, which is why I always recommend a tailored approach. Some of the most popular garden lighting installations we carry out on the Isle of Wight include:

🌿 Pathway & Driveway Lighting

Low-level LED lighting guides the way while creating a welcoming feel.

🌿 Feature & Accent Lighting

Perfect for highlighting trees, shrubs, walls, or architectural features.

🌿 Patio & Decking Lighting

Discreet lighting integrated into decking or surrounding seating areas for evening use.

🌿 Security & PIR Lighting

Practical lighting to protect your home without compromising on appearance.

🌿 Smart & Energy-Efficient LED Systems

Modern LED garden lighting offers excellent efficiency, long lifespan, and optional smart controls.


Why You Should Use a Qualified Electrician

Garden lighting isn’t a DIY job. Outdoor electrical installations must consider:

  • Weatherproof cabling and fittings
  • Correct earthing and RCD protection
  • Safe routing of underground cables
  • Load calculations and circuit protection

As a trusted electrician on the Isle of Wight, I ensure every installation is fully tested, certified, and built to last. Jeelek Electrical Services is fully insured, and all work is completed to the highest professional standards.


Garden Lighting as Part of a Bigger Project

Many of our customers choose to include garden lighting as part of a wider renovation or landscaping project. Alongside our electrical services, we can also offer full project management, working closely with trusted local builders, landscapers, and other trades to ensure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.

This joined-up approach saves time, reduces stress, and delivers a far better end result.

We’re proud to be an Island-based electrical contractor, offering an Island-wide service to homeowners, landlords, and businesses. Our reputation has been built on reliability, quality workmanship, and clear communication — something reflected in our 5-star Google reviews.
