How Sensor-Controlled Downlights and Dedicated Dimmers Refreshed This Home's Front and Rear Exterior

Refreshing the Exterior of a Chelsea Heights Home
When the exterior lighting on this Chelsea Heights home had had its day, the owner came to Ferguson Electrical for a full refresh - better light, smarter controls and a cleaner look.
At the front of the home, we removed two dated light fittings and replaced them with two new LED downlights, wired onto a sensor and dimmer that is shared with the hallway lighting inside. That means the entryway now lights up automatically as dusk falls, with full control over brightness from indoors.
Around the back, three old lights made way for two downlights on their own dedicated dimmer, giving the outdoor space flexible lighting for evenings spent outside. We finished the job with switch plates from the Iconic range for a neat, modern look that matches the rest of the home.
Why Upgrade Your Exterior Lighting
Exterior lighting does more than just help you see your way to the front door. A well-planned upgrade can improve:
Safety and security around entry points and walkways
Energy efficiency, with LED downlights using a fraction of the power of old fittings
Convenience, through sensors and dimmers that adjust automatically or on demand
Street appeal, with a clean, modern finish that complements your home
