Read this article to discover how you can save costs from day one while enjoying worry-free lighting.

What is LaaS?

LaaS stands for 'Light as a Service,' a service model designed to provide reliable and high-quality lighting for a specified period at a pre-agreed fee.

During this period, the supplier remains responsible for the proper functioning of the (emergency) lighting.

C-LaaS - pay for the Light, not for the lighting

With Circular Light as a Service (C-LaaS), we offer you a managed service solution for all your lighting and emergency lighting needs. Instead of investing your own capital, we fulfill all your requirements for a fixed annual fee.

We deliver high-quality lighting designed according to our circular philosophy. With C-LaaS, we commit to reducing the environmental impact of our lighting systems by creating high-quality and locally-produced lighting with an exceptionally long lifespan, easy maintenance, and avoidance of natural resource waste.

Why is comprehensive project analysis important, and what does the C-LaaS dossier include?

For renovation projects, we start with a free quick scan. Once you're convinced of our proposal, we create a C-LaaS dossier, just like for new construction projects. The costs of this study can later be deducted from the annual C-LaaS fee.

Free Quick Scan - This cost-free service allows you to explore the potential of Light as a Service for your renovation project. Our concise report presents all possible improvements related to energy savings, light output, and maintenance costs.

The C-LaaS dossier serves as the basis for a Light as a Service contract. After a free 'quick scan' for renovation projects or as the first step for new construction projects, this dossier includes an in-depth study and comprehensive analysis of your lighting needs based on a site visit or project blueprints.
The dossier presents a detailed and integrated proposal for your future lighting installation, including:

• Inventory of all fixtures
• Light calculation & lighting plan
• Operation principles for all controls
• Technical data sheets
• C-LaaS annual fee
• Operating cost comparison
• Subsidy calculation
• Subsidy applications
• Full compliance with the latest standards and regulations:
  • EN 12464 for workplace lighting
  • EN 1838 & EN 50172 for emergency lighting
