At Tungsten Services, we recently completed an outdoor lighting installation for a homeowner in Walton-on-Thames who wanted to combine decorative and security lighting. They wanted a solution that would enhance the front of their house while also improving security at night.

Choosing Outdoor Lighting
When we arrived at the property in Walton-on-Thames, we discussed the customer’s vision. They wanted their home to look warm and welcoming but also have outdoor lighting that would activate when movement was detected. After going through different options, we decided to install two decorative lanterns with a HI-LO function. This means the lights stay on at 20% brightness and increase to 100% when the PIR sensor picks up movement. Plus, these features only activate at dusk, so they aren’t running unnecessarily during the day.
Outdoor Lighting Installation Process
Installing the Decorative Lanterns
Once the plan was in place, we began by installing the two decorative lanterns. These were mounted on either side of the front door, giving the entrance a classic yet modern touch. The HI-LO functionality ensures the house has a subtle glow throughout the night while offering full illumination when needed for security.
Concealing the Wiring
One of our priorities for this project was keeping the installation neat and tidy. Instead of running visible cables along the wall, we concealed all wiring inside the house. This gives a seamless look without any messy cables ruining the aesthetics of the home.
Installing the Hardwired Ring Doorbell
While we were there, the customer also asked us to install a hardwired Ring doorbell. This was a great addition to their Walton-on-Thames home security setup, allowing them to monitor their front door in real-time via their smartphone. We made sure the installation was clean and professionally wired so the system would run reliably without any battery worries.
Testing and Final Adjustments
After installing the lanterns and doorbell, we tested everything to ensure it was working correctly. The PIR sensors responded perfectly, increasing brightness when needed, and the smart control ensured the system only operated at dusk. We also checked the Ring doorbell setup and made sure the customer was comfortable using the app.
The Final Result
The customer was thrilled with the outcome. Their front entrance now has a stylish yet practical lighting setup that enhances the home’s curb appeal while improving security. The HI-LO function means they have continuous soft lighting, and the motion activation provides added protection at night. Plus, with the hardwired Ring doorbell, they now have extra peace of mind.
