Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the efficiency that new lighting in Dundee and Angus 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.
