External and security lighting FAQs for Lanarkshire
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Lanarkshire?
Section 6 of the Scottish building standards sets the efficiency that new lighting in Lanarkshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Which towns in Lanarkshire do you cover?
All of Lanarkshire, including East Kilbride, Hamilton and Cumbernauld. See the towns list on this page for local pages.
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.
