A bit of clarification here. 
"> how do you differentiate between Longitude North and South or Latitude E
and W."
Latitude is expressed as degrees either North or South of the Equator and
Logitude degrees East or West of the Greenwich Meridian. 
In the ECS Item both Lat & Long are expressed as between 0 and 359 so what
would I put in to express the UK coordinates of Latitude 0 degrees Longitude
50 degrees North?!
 

>>I will need to add another time-zone for the UK -
>>What would your zone(s) be called ?
>>I would need to know your latitude/longitude/sunrise-time
>>to do so.

The UK runs on Greenwich Mean Time (EST +5) except for when DST is in effect
when it changes to British Summer Time.
If you are telling me you need to know the sunrise/sunset times for each day
of the year to make the programme work then maybe I'll choose a different
method of finding out when to turn lights on and off!!

Regards
Tony
