Car park lighting FAQs for Lancashire

Which fire safety law applies in Lancashire?

The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.

What energy rules apply to new lighting in Lancashire?

Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Lancashire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.

What do new lighting columns cost?

As a budget, a 6 m column with an LED lantern, foundation and a moderate cable run is around £800–£1,500 each, excluding VAT. Difficult ground, reinstatement or a new supply can increase this.

Can you reuse our existing columns?

Often, yes. If the columns are structurally sound, swapping the heads for LED lanterns is much cheaper than new columns.
