External and security lighting FAQs for Staffordshire
Which fire safety law applies in Staffordshire?
The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 sets the duties of the person responsible for fire safety, including emergency lighting where escape routes need it.
What energy rules apply to new lighting in Staffordshire?
Approved Document L sets the efficiency that new lighting in Staffordshire 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.
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.
