Rules that apply in Cornwall
Emergency lighting in Cornwall falls under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. The responsible person must make sure people can see their way out if the power fails, and keep records of testing.
Approved Document L (2021 edition, with 2023 amendments) asks for new general lighting to average at least 95 luminaire lumens per circuit-watt, or to use the LENI method. The 2026 edition raises this to more than 105 for work under it from 24 March 2027.
