LIGHTING ?

Only 20% of commercial buildings built before 1980 have retrofitted lighting systems !

With the right lighting, tailored to your needs, you can save a tremendous amount of energy while increasing comfort and style.

  • Up to 90% less energy is consumed with an LED bulb to produce the same brightness as an incandescent bulb
  • Reduction of energy consumption by 30 to 40% in addition to the switch to LED technology
  • Through to low investment costs in the course of a retrofit, the investment usually pays for itself in less than two years
