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

On Pentwyn estates with homes nearby, we choose low-glare optics and aim fittings down to keep light where it is needed.
Business units in Pentwyn often have old SON floodlights over the yard and halogen bulkheads by the doors. LED replacements use far less power and come on instantly.
We cover the whole of Pentwyn, including the CF23, CF3 and CF24 postcode districts, and nearby places such as Trowbridge, Rhiwbina and Cardiff.

Pentwyn FAQs
Is the price fixed?
Yes. After the survey you get a fixed price for the scope agreed. If you add to the scope later, we price the extra before doing it.
Do you remove the old fittings in Pentwyn?
Yes. Old fittings are removed, and fluorescent tubes are recycled as hazardous waste through an authorised route, with paperwork for your records.
Which rules apply to lighting work in Pentwyn?
Fire safety duties come from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. For new lighting, the Welsh Approved Document L sets the energy efficiency requirements. We design and certify work to BS 7671 and, for emergency lighting, BS 5266-1.
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.
