Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor and Garden Lighting

Can the outdoor wiring be hidden underground?

Yes. Underground cable runs are the standard approach for garden and pathway lighting. Kenny runs rated direct-burial cable or cable in conduit at the appropriate depth. Any surface areas disturbed are reinstated after the cable is laid.

Do outdoor fittings need to be a specific IP rating?

Yes. Outdoor fittings must have an IP ingress protection rating suitable for outdoor exposure. The minimum for most outdoor applications is IP44. Fittings near water features or in areas exposed to heavy rain require a higher rating. Kenny only installs fittings rated correctly for their specific location.

Can outdoor lighting be connected to an existing circuit?

In most cases, yes, provided the existing circuit has the available capacity. If the outdoor lighting load would overload an existing circuit, Kenny adds a new circuit as part of the installation scope and includes this in the upfront quote.

Can I supply my own outdoor fittings?

Yes, provided they carry the correct IP rating for their location. Kenny can advise on whether a fitting you have chosen is suitable before installation begins.
