Guidance on identifying suitable locations for efficient
lighting is given in General Information Leaflet GIL
2031. A way of establishing how many locations to equip
for efficient lighting would be to follow the recommendations
in Table 4.
1.56 When considering reasonable provision for
lighting, for a new dwelling with an integral conservatory,
the conservatory should be counted as a room. In other
cases, the conservatory can be excluded from the method
in Table 4.

1.57 External lighting includes lighting in porches,
but not lighting in garages and
carports. When providing external lighting, reasonable
provision should be made to enable
effective control and/or the use of efficient lamps.
A way of showing compliance when providing external lighting
would be to install
systems that:
a) automatically extinguish when there is enough daylight,
and when not required at
night;
or
b) have sockets that can only be used with lamps having
an efficacy greater than 40
lumens per circuit Watt (such as fluorescent or compact
fluorescent lamp types, and not GLS tungsten lamps with
bayonet cap or Edison screw bases). |
