Car park lighting FAQs for Somerset
How are prices set in Somerset?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
Which fire safety law applies in Somerset?
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.
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.

Yes. LED lanterns can be dimmed or switched to a lower level in the small hours, often with presence override.
