The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

The Government is not responsible for most public and private lighting. These are a matter for individual local authorities and businesses.

We have published a petition calling on the Government to Require businesses to turn off lighting in empty offices during Covid-19, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/310317

You could start a new petition calling on the Governemnt to require local authorities and private businesses to turn off all non-essential lighting and screens, if that is what you would like to happen. You would need to provide your full name in order for us to be able to accept your petition.
