Installing outdoor lighting
If you are installing artificial lighting outside your property, you should take steps to prevent it from becoming a nuisance.
Consider:
- Is the light necessary?
- How it will affect others, for example, the direction of the beam and how the light will 'spill' onto neighbouring properties?
- How long does the light need to be turned on?
- Can security be achieved in another way?
- Could any sensors used to trigger lights be set off accidentally?
