Enegy efficient lighting providing 40 lumens per circuit watt are required for the building regs. Does anyone know which kind of fittings can i use to give this amount?
No - it's more than that. Depends on the number of rooms - can't remember the details.Damocles said:So which part is it of building regs which relates to energy efficiency? Yes, they do apply. It is probably new builds and is pretty modest, about one fluorescent per house I think.
But you could swap it with the landing pendant.Where it wouldn,t be an eyesore.ban-all-sheds said:Ah - but all electrical work now has to comply with the Building Regulations, so replacing a low energy luminaire with a normal one, if this reduces the number below the minimum, is a criminal offence.
