The Backyard Stops Being Usable the Moment It Gets Dark

Plenty of homes around here have one floodlight on the back wall and nothing else. It lights the paving directly under it and turns everything past that into a black wall, which is worse than no light at all.

Out the front it's usually the path and the driveway. On the sloped blocks common through The Basin, Upper Ferntree Gully and Boronia, an unlit step is a genuine hazard for anyone visiting after dark.

What people usually want fixed:

  • An alfresco or deck that can't be used at night
  • Dark paths, steps and driveways
  • Temporary extension leads run outside for lighting
  • Old outdoor fittings that have rusted or filled with water

Outdoor fittings take weather that indoor ones never see, so the right gear and a properly sealed installation matter more out here.

Get the Whole Yard Back After Dark

We install lighting for alfrescos, decks, pergolas, gardens, paths and driveways, wired properly and rated for outdoor conditions rather than run off a lead from inside.

We'll walk the yard with you and work out what needs to be lit and what's better left dark. Usually the answer is several smaller lights rather than one bright one, because that's what makes a space feel comfortable instead of floodlit.

Everything outdoors is installed with weatherproof fittings and correctly rated cabling, and protected at the switchboard.

What we do:

  • Plan the lighting around how you actually use the space
  • Install weatherproof fittings rated for the location
  • Run and protect outdoor cabling correctly
  • Add switching, sensors or timers where they suit
  • Test everything and check the switchboard protection

    We recently contacted Jessie to install some sensor lights at our house. Within 4 days he was at our place and had that installed. Whilst he was here he was also able to let us know that our smoke alarms were out of date and got that replaced for us on the spot.

    Had Jessie from Class Above Electrical come out to install some new lights and a split system, and couldn’t recommend them enough. Turned up when they said they would, got stuck into it straight away, and left everything spotless after, no mess, no dramas.

Asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  • It comes down to how many fittings you want, how far they are from the switchboard and whether cabling can be run overhead or needs to go underground. We quote the job after seeing the property so the price is firm.

  • Yes. We run properly rated underground or concealed cabling out to sheds, pergolas, gardens and rear fence lines. We'll show you the run before we dig anything so you know exactly where it goes.

  • Both, usually. Sensors suit side paths, driveways and entries where you want light only when someone's there. Switched or timed lighting suits entertaining areas where you want to control it yourself. We often set a property up with a mix.

  • Often yes, provided the circuit has capacity and the right protection. We check the switchboard as part of the quote and tell you upfront if anything needs upgrading first.

  • Yes. Pergolas, decks, alfrescos and outdoor kitchens are some of the most common outdoor jobs we do, including power points out there if you want them.
