LIGHTING LUX LEVELS FOR CAR PARK AREAS

[Djjeff99]

Thank god i didnt ask if the BNP should have been on the BBC , or if our troops should even be in Afganistan , or if Jacko did only sleep on the floor !


I only originally asked the question on here cos i couldnt be fuked to look on the net or look through the mountain of books i have , and it was easier to let some one else do it . ( Evil Laugh )

What ever the reason i wanted to know for , had fuk all to do with the answer .


Some people on here are way too far up there own ars holes !
Get a life !

djjeff99, what you should understand is that there are a few people on here that are way too much in touch with their feminine side, this has been caused by http://www.wimp.com/thedoghouse/

It means they no longer understand simple requests, and spend their whole lives looking for hidden meanings and hidden words, they are to be pitied.

They are particularly freaked out by questions such as;

"Do you know what the time is?"

"Can you tell me how to get to the train station?"

"What would you like to drink?"

"Would you like tea or coffee?"

""Can anyone pleses tell me the required lighting LUX levels for car parks in the UK"

 

[Djjeff99]

I have been really surprised how one simple question can provoke such a response .
Winding people up without even trying . so funny !

It has , and is still keeping me entertained at work .

Nice one chief !

Hi There

Can anyone pleses tell me the required lighting LUX levels for car parks in the UK .
I have looked in to this but keep coming up with differnt answers .

Is there an exact answer/regulation somewhere ?

Cheers

There are no regulations but plenty of recommendations. Go with what you consider adequate.

If you get it wrong and are an employer, you could end up in court. If however you are TU H&S rep and get it wrong, you are protected.

NCP, are fitting wireless motion sensors throughout there car parks, most of the time they are in total darkness till someone goes near the sensor.
Dont seem right to me, you pay good money to park and your car is left in the dark and more vulnerable than on the street.

You're quite right a ghost could sneak in and vandalise your car. Is your car scared of the dark?

No, but presumably if you failed to follow that code of practice, there is some applicable law the powers could punish you with.

Its not the law, but you can ignore it and any other British standard eg BS 7671. I'm sure the the judge will fail to appreciate your reasons for non-compliance and punish you accordingly.

I stand to be corrected, but I doubt that is true. Some car parks have no lighting whatsoever, other than the street lighting around the periphery.

 

[plugwash]

some don't have any lighting full stop

Then if the light levels are below 5 or 10 lux they do not comply with BS5489, see the my third post before before this volcano of drivel erupted.
