Any such lights shall be mounted in association with main doors only, at aheight no greater than 1.9m from ground level, directed and shielded downward and awayfrom hedges, trees and any bat roosts. The lights shall produce only narrow spectrum,low-intensity light output, UV-free, with a warm colour-temperature (2,700K or less) and awavelength of 550nm or more.
