External and security lighting FAQs for Devon
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Devon?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Devon must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
How are prices set in Devon?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
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.
