Car park lighting FAQs for Wiltshire

Which fire safety law applies in Wiltshire?

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 Wiltshire?

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

Can car park lighting be dimmed overnight?

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

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