External and security lighting in Highfields
In short: wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. For Highfields sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
Local external and security lighting in Highfields
Fire exit doors in Highfields buildings need a light outside so people can see the way to a place of safety.
On Highfields estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
We cover the whole of Highfields, including the CB23 and CB3 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Hardwick, Cambridge and Impington.

Highfields FAQs
Can you work out of hours in Highfields?
Yes. Evening, weekend and phased working is common for Highfields offices, shops and warehouses, so the business keeps running.
How quickly can you survey in Highfields?
Most surveys in Highfields can be booked within a few working days. Tell us about any deadlines, such as a lease end or a fire risk assessment action, and we will try to fit around them.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Highfields?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Should external lights be on all night?
Not necessarily. Photocells with timers or presence sensors can keep routes lit when people are around and dim or switch off later, saving energy and reducing light spill.
