External and security lighting in Cowley
In short: wall packs, bulkheads and sensors for entrances, yards and perimeters. For Cowley sites with CCTV, we aim external lighting to give cameras even coverage rather than glare.

Cowley FAQs
Which rules apply to lighting work in Cowley?
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 Cowley?
Yes. We work across Cowley and the OX4, OX3 and OX1 postcode districts, plus nearby places such as Oxford, Holton and Cuddesdon.
Who does the work in Cowley?
Work is carried out by vetted electricians working under S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which is responsible for the job and invoices you directly.
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.
