Location photos

A few clear photos of the entrance, path, gate or current fitting help confirm the likely outdoor-lighting next step before visiting.

Good location photos save time on outdoor-lighting quotes. They show where the light sits, what area needs better coverage, and whether the likely answer is a straight swap, an aiming or PIR issue, or a broader quoted job.

Photos that help most

  • Wider photo of the entrance, path, gate or garden area.
  • Closer photo of the current outside light or fitting.
  • Switch, fused spur or control point if there is one.
  • Short note on dead light, false triggers or poor coverage.
  • Product link or model number if already chosen.

What can still change the scope

  • Photos are the first check, not the final answer.
  • Hidden cable issues, water ingress, access limits or the need for a new point can change the scope on site.
  • If the job needs a broader plan, that should be explained before work moves beyond the original scope.

Need a quick answer before you send photos?

Send your postcode, 2–4 clear photos, and any product link or PIR symptom if relevant. I’ll say whether it looks like a straightforward outdoor-lighting visit or a wider quoted scope.
