All exterior work is completed to AS/NZS 3000 weatherproofing standards with fittings rated for their specific outdoor environment.

Issues with Exterior Lighting We Solve

A poorly lit exterior sends the wrong signal — it looks neglected, reduces security, and creates real risks for people navigating steps, paths and driveways in the dark. Many Sydney homeowners struggle to find an electrician who understands both the technical requirements of outdoor wiring and the aesthetic possibilities of well-placed exterior light.

The wrong fitting installed in the wrong location fails quickly — water ingress, corrosion, and nuisance trips are all consequences of using fittings without the correct IP rating. Our team assesses every mounting location, specifies the correct IP-rated fitting, and backs every installation with a written Certificate of Compliance.

Safety Note — IP Ratings Matter

Using an indoor-rated fitting outdoors is both a safety hazard and a breach of AS/NZS 3000. Water ingress can cause short circuits, earth faults, and in worst cases, electrical fires. Focus Group Electrical only installs fittings with the correct IP rating for their specific outdoor environment — and we document this on your CCEW.

    Exterior Lighting Installation FAQs

    What is the minimum IP rating for outdoor lights in Sydney?

    Covered outdoor areas such as verandas and pergolas require IP44 as a minimum. Fully exposed locations — including wall-mounted exterior fittings exposed to rain — require IP65. We assess each location individually during the quote.

    Like-for-like replacement using existing wiring in the same position may qualify as a minor electrical task in NSW. However, any new wiring, new circuit, or change in fitting type must be done by a licensed electrician and documented with a CCEW. When in doubt, call us for a free assessment.

    LED replacement of an existing exterior fitting typically costs $120–$280 per fitting. Installing new exterior lights with new wiring runs from $250–$650 per fitting depending on cable routing. We provide fixed upfront quotes.

    Not necessarily. In many cases, outdoor lights can be added to an existing circuit if capacity allows. For larger installations, a dedicated outdoor circuit is recommended. We check your switchboard capacity as part of every exterior lighting assessment.

    Yes. We install and configure PIR motion sensors, dual-technology sensors (PIR + microwave for reduced false trips), and timer switches. Smart home integration with Google Home, Alexa or HomeKit is also available.

    Quality IP65-rated LED exterior fittings have a rated lifespan of 25,000–50,000 hours — equivalent to 11–22 years at typical use. We recommend brands including Clipsal, Legrand and HPM for Sydney conditions.
