External and security lighting FAQs for Derbyshire
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Derbyshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Derbyshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.

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.
