🏖 Coastal Peninsula properties need salt-rated fittings
• Standard outdoor fittings corrode quickly within 500m of the coast
• We specify marine-grade or salt-air rated fittings for coastal properties
• 316 stainless steel and UV-stable polycarbonate housings recommended
• Proper IP ratings (IP65+) are essential for exposed coastal locations

In Australia, outdoor fittings use IP (Ingress Protection) ratings. For covered alfresco areas, IP44 is the minimum. Exposed outdoor areas require IP65 or higher. Lights near swimming pools or water features must meet AS/NZS 3000 zone requirements — typically IP65 or IP68. We only install correctly-rated fittings for each location.
Solar lighting is low-cost and easy to install, but unreliable in Peninsula winters when sun is limited, and the batteries degrade over 2–3 years. Hardwired lights are always on when you need them, brighter, and last decades. For security lighting, entertainment areas, and any application where reliability matters, hardwired is the right choice. We can help you decide which suits your situation.
Any hardwired 240V outdoor lighting must be installed by a licensed electrician in Victoria.
