Local external and security lighting in Royston
For Royston sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.
On Royston estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
For Royston premises we plan works around opening hours, deliveries and shared access, which matters on mixed-use estates and high streets.

Royston FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Royston?
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.
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you cover all of Royston?
Yes. We work across Royston and the SG8 postcode district, plus nearby places such as Bygrave, Buntingford and Little Shelford.
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.
