The “as-a-Service” model is now brightening the commercial sector. Lighting-as-a-Service allows businesses, municipalities, and institutions to upgrade to modern LED and smart lighting systems with no upfront capital investment. Instead, they pay a regular service fee that covers the hardware, installation, maintenance, and sometimes even the energy cost. The provider guarantees energy savings, which typically cover the service fee. This removes financial and technical barriers for clients, providing immediate cash flow benefits and hassle-free operation. For service providers, it creates long-term customer relationships and recurring revenue streams. LaaS is particularly attractive for retrofitting large building portfolios, street lighting, and warehouses, accelerating the adoption of energy-efficient technology and aligning business incentives with sustainability outcomes.
