Southampton FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Southampton?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
Do you cover all of Southampton?
Yes. We work across Southampton and the SO14, SO15 and SO17 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Hythe, Totton and Hedge End.
Do you remove the old fittings in Southampton?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
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.
