Electrician in Stockholm
Good lighting around the house, terraced house or housing association entrance does more than decorate — it lights up the steps, keeps the driveway safe and marks that the building is occupied. We install up to two points with a twilight relay that switches on automatically when it gets dark, whether it is the entrance, the gable or the path out to the street.
The twilight relay reads the light level outside and handles the switching for you. No app to open on the way home and no timers to advance when evenings get darker in autumn. You choose the fittings to match the facade's style; we run the cable, install and connect. The same solution works for path lighting along the driveway as for a single lamp by the patio door in a terraced house.
A motion detector that switches on the lighting when someone approaches is both reassurance and a way not to have lights on unnecessarily. We connect it to your existing outdoor lighting at a fixed price — see the price row above. It works just as well at a detached house entrance as at a shared stairwell in a housing association where many people pass through.
Most people start with two well-considered points: one by the entrance that lights up the steps and the lock, and one by the driveway, garage or back patio where darkness is most inconvenient. In a terraced house the entrance and back are often enough, while a detached house benefits from adding the gable. The fixed price covers two points — add more in the booking and all are connected via the same twilight relay.
Burglars prefer darkness, and during the winter months many residential streets of houses and terraced houses are unlit from afternoon until morning. Facade lighting on a twilight relay comes on even during weeks you are away, and together with a motion detector at the entrance it provides exactly the attention an uninvited visitor prefers to avoid. For a housing association with several entrances the same solution helps shared areas feel safe to move around in, even on late evenings.
Outdoor fittings are exposed to rain, wind and temperature swings, and therefore the enclosure class matters more than the design. Choose fittings with the right IP class for the position and they last longer and maintain their light output. LED technology draws little and switches on instantly, which suits both twilight relays and motion detectors. If you are unsure what suits your facade or entrance, bring the measurements in the booking and we will advise before you shop.
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.
