Lighting as a Service is a service-based solution that replaces old, inefficient light fittings with LED equivalents.
There is no upfront investment. You get immediate energy efficiency improvements to your estate, financed through a subscription model rather than a one-time capital payment.
The service is managed by specialised third parties and service providers, and can include light design, financing, installation. The agreed contract period is typically 5–7 years. The LaaS provider maintains ownership of the equipment, carrying out maintenance throughout this time.
