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