How much does outdoor garden lighting cost in Nairobi?

Solar path lighting from KES 25,000. Mains-powered full garden schemes from KES 65,000. Smart LED systems from KES 95,000. Security lighting from KES 35,000.

Is solar lighting reliable in Nairobi?

Yes — Nairobi's sunshine makes solar lights highly reliable. Quality lithium battery fixtures provide 8-12 hours from a full day's charge. Performance may reduce slightly during the cloudiest rainy season days.

Are outdoor lights safe during heavy Nairobi rains?

Yes. All our outdoor fittings are IP65-rated minimum — protected against high-pressure water jets from any direction. Underground connections use IP67-rated waterproof junction boxes.

Can I control my garden lights from my phone?

Yes. Smart LED systems connect to standard smart home platforms and are fully controllable via smartphone from anywhere in the world.

Does garden lighting improve security?

Significantly. Well-lit properties deter intruders. Motion-activated perimeter lights, occupied-appearance scheduling, and smart mobile alerts all contribute to improved security.

How do you run cables without damaging my garden?

Narrow trenching tools minimise disruption. All turf and planting areas are reinstated after cable installation. Conduit is routed neatly along walls and fence lines where surface routing is needed.

Can you add lighting to an established garden?

Yes. We design lighting retrofits using solar fixtures where possible, discreet surface conduit, and wireless smart systems to minimise groundwork in established gardens.

What colour temperature works best for a garden?

Warm white (2700-3000K) for inviting, natural residential character. Cool white (4000K+) for contemporary or security applications. We discuss colour temperature at the design consultation.
