External and security lighting FAQs for Hampshire
Which fire safety law applies in Hampshire?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
Which towns in Hampshire do you cover?
All of Hampshire, including Southampton, Portsmouth and Basingstoke. 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.
