Information requested

Please could you provide a copy of your street lighting inventory.

In particular I am looking for the following fields for each light:

Location (lat/lon or easting/northing).
Lamp type (e.g. LED, SON).
Lamp power (Wattage or Lumen output).
Lamp height.
If the lamp is dimmed or turned off for part of the night.

Any additional fields of data held for each light would be gratefully received, but not required.

Response

Details on how the trunk road network is managed can be found at the following website: https://www.transport.gov.scot/transport-network/roads/the-trunk-road-network/#45651

As such, the data requested, where available, is collated and maintained by each of these companies. I have included as attachments to this correspondence electronic copies in CSV or Excel format, the files as provided by each of these companies, as follows:
