Install facade lighting and outdoor lighting in Skellefteå

Lighting around the house does more than decorate — it welcomes, deters burglars and makes dark months easier to live with. We install up to two points with a twilight relay that switches on automatically when it gets dark.

Twilight relay — comes on by itself, all year

The twilight relay senses the light level and handles the switching for you — no app to remember, no timer to adjust when autumn comes. You choose the fittings; we install, run the cable and connect. The same applies to garden lighting along the path or driveway.

Motion detector for security at the entrance

A motion detector that switches on the outdoor lighting when someone approaches is both reassurance and energy saving. We connect it to your existing outdoor lighting — fixed price; see the price row above. Works just as well in older houses.

How many light points does the house need?

Most people start with two well-chosen points: one by the entrance that provides a welcome and one by the garage or driveway where darkness is most inconvenient. The next step is usually the patio and the back of the house. The fixed price covers two points — add more in the booking and all are connected via the same twilight relay.

The facade lighting season is long in the north

From October to March, darkness covers most of the day in Skellefteå — and that is when facade lighting transforms the house. The entrance becomes safe to come home to, the driveway can be shovelled without a head torch and the house looks inhabited even during weeks away. The twilight relay handles the switching through the whole long season without a single adjustment.

A lit house looks inhabited

Burglars prefer darkness, and during the winter months Skellefteå's residential streets are dark from afternoon until morning. Facade lighting on a twilight relay comes on even when the house is empty during the sports holiday or a mountain weekend — and together with a motion detector at the entrance it provides exactly the kind of attention an uninvited visitor prefers to avoid.

Frequently asked questions

Are the fittings included in the price?

No, you choose and buy the fittings yourself so the style is yours — we provide the cable run, installation and connection with the twilight relay.

Can the lighting be controlled from a phone instead?

Yes, outdoor lighting works excellently with Plejd — app, astronomical clock and scenes — tell us in the booking and we will quote that solution instead of a twilight relay.

Does a motion detector work together with a twilight relay?

Yes, a common combination: the base lighting comes on at dusk and the motion detector gives full brightness when someone approaches the entrance or driveway.

Does winter affect the choice of fittings?

Yes, choose fittings rated at least IP44 with robust enclosures — LED technology itself thrives in the cold. If you are unsure about a choice, ask in the booking before you shop.
