Electricity Outdoors & In The Garden

 

We all love to get out in the garden and with more convenient power tools becoming available the amount of time to sit back and relax is getting greater. There is such a wide variety of electrically powered  garden equipment - including decorative and security lighting, lawnmowers, hedge trimmers, water features, pond pumps and heaters - and this is a real benefit to modern gardeners and homeowners but we also have to consider the added risk this convenient power brings. The risk of electric shock or electrocution due to the high levels of moisture and the good contact with earth (that are an inherent part of gardening) is much greater. According to official figures from The Department of Trade and Industry there were eight fatalities from electricity in the garden in 2004. Don't become one of the statistics!

Lazy Summer Evenings...

 

An evening in the garden can be charming, either enjoying an evening drink with friends or having a private moment by the pond imagining anything that takes your fancy... But add some mood lighting and the whole experience becomes enchanting.

From all year round fairy lights on your favourite trees or lighting up your beloved sculpture to discrete underwater pond lighting; EnTrust Electrical can really make your garden come to life at night. Why go in when the sun goes down?

 

High quality deck lights that accentuate the architecture of your sitting area or the latest technology LED colour changing ‘hidden-in-border’ lighting can all be professionally installed by EnTrust Electrical in accordance with your own design ideas in complete safety and of course in full compliance with the latest standards and legislation.

 

Steps and Pathways become much safer when illuminated, with discrete lighting installations from EnTrust Electrical. Contemporary or traditional light fittings can be incorporated into your garden designs or retro-fitted into your existing scheme with ease.

 

Driveway lighting adds to the security of both your home and your vehicles and welcomes you in at the end of a long day. Fittings can be included at the side of the drive or for a really stylish look why not have recessed fittings installed flush into your drive – runway style... our fittings are capable of withstanding over 1½ tons each!

 

Automatic Dusk to Dawn or timer options are available for the majority of our lighting installations making them even more fun and convenient, we can even supply remote control options that enable your garden lighting to be turned on and off from wherever you fancy. For more exclusive gardens programmable systems can be installed that allow pre-configured changes throughout the evening – great for those summer twilight barbeques.
