Sukkah lighting and outdoor electrics

Every autumn an extension lead goes out through the kitchen window to light the sukkah. It works until it rains. A proper outdoor socket and a light on a timer costs less than you think, is there every year, and is safe for the children running in and out.

An outdoor socket on its own circuit

  • A weatherproof double socket on the patio or wall, RCD protected and on its own way in the board.
  • Positioned where the sukkah actually goes, so no leads cross the path.
  • Rated for a heater as well as lights if you want one.

Lighting on a timer

A weatherproof light over the sukkah area, wired to a timer, comes on by itself at dusk over Yom Tov and goes off at bedtime. Any garden PIR lights get an override switch so they stay on, stay off or run as normal.

The rest of the year

The same socket powers Chanukah lights by the front door, garden tools, a pressure washer and the barbecue. We also fit driveway lighting, garden lighting and EV chargers on separate circuits while we are there.

FAQs

Sukkah lighting and outdoor electrics — your questions

Is an outdoor socket a notifiable job?
A new circuit is notifiable; adding a socket to an existing circuit generally is not. Either way we test it, give you a certificate and register it where required.
Can the sukkah light be on a Shabbat timer as well?
Yes — it is the same kind of timer we fit indoors, programmed for the dates you need.
Do you fit the sukkah?
No — just the electrics. We do them before Sukkot so the sukkah goes up with power and light already waiting.
