Common Outdoor Lighting Issues and How to Fix Them 

Outdoor lighting systems can encounter various issues that affect their performance and reliability. Below are five common problems and simple steps you can take to resolve them.

  1. Burnt-Out Bulbs
    • Issue: Outdoor bulbs are prone to burning out due to exposure to the elements and frequent use.
    • Solution: Regular maintenance tips can help prevent future issues. Follow our guide to outdoor lighting maintenance for better results. Replace the bulbs with weather-resistant, energy-efficient options such as LED bulbs. Make sure to turn off the power before replacing any light bulbs.
  2. Flickering Lights can indicate issues with the brightness of the lamp.
    • Issue: Flickering outdoor lights may indicate loose wiring, faulty connections, or voltage fluctuations.
    • Solution: Check the wiring connections and tighten any loose fixtures. If the problem persists, consult an electrician to investigate voltage issues in your outdoor lighting fixtures.
  3. Lights Not Turning On due to faulty light bulbs
    • Issue: This could be due to a tripped circuit breaker, faulty timer, or damaged wiring.
    • Solution: Reset the circuit breaker, check the timer settings, and inspect the wiring for any signs of damage. If none of these fix the issue, call a professional for further inspection.
  4. Corroded Fixtures
    • Issue: Exposure to rain, snow, and humidity can cause fixtures to rust or corrode over time.
    • Solution: Regularly clean the fixtures with a non-abrasive cleaner. If corrosion is severe, consider replacing the fixtures with corrosion-resistant materials like aluminium or stainless steel.
  5. Faulty Motion Sensors in outdoor lighting fixtures
    • Issue: Motion sensors may stop detecting movement or trigger lights unnecessarily.
    • Solution: Clean the sensor to remove any debris blocking its view. If it’s still malfunctioning, try adjusting the sensitivity settings or replacing the sensor if it’s defective.

Why you should get an electrician to maintaining outdoor or security light

An outdoor light is a lifesaver when you get home in the dark and have to find your keys. And if you have a sensor-operated security light, it gives you that extra peace of mind. These lights normally work without much maintenance, but as with any other appliance, they do eventually reach the end of their lifespan and may need new lamps. Since they’re outside, they face all kinds of weather including rain, snow and frost. So after a while, moisture and dust can seep in and cause problems.

To keep your outdoor and security lights in good working order, we recommend asking a Part P qualified electrician to give them a professional once-over from time to time. These professionals are certified to safely work with electricity in and around your home. They’ll test your lights and all the connections, and if they spot a more serious issue, they’ll notify you straightaway and suggest the best solution.
