External and security lighting FAQs for Cheshire
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Cheshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Cheshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Which towns in Cheshire do you cover?
All of Cheshire, including Warrington, Chester and Crewe. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
Can lighting help our CCTV?
Yes. Even, well-aimed white light with good colour rendering gives cameras clearer images than patchy, glaring lights.
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.
