External and security lighting FAQs for Merseyside
How are prices set in Merseyside?
Our guide prices are adjusted for regional labour costs. After a survey you get a fixed price for the agreed scope.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Merseyside?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Merseyside must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
What do LED floodlights cost?
As a budget, an LED floodlight costs around £200–£500 installed, depending on output, mounting height and access, excluding VAT.

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.
