External and security lighting FAQs for South Yorkshire
What energy rules apply to new lighting in South Yorkshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in South Yorkshire must meet. We check fittings against it at design stage and keep the evidence for building control.
Which towns in South Yorkshire do you cover?
All of South Yorkshire, including Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster. 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.
