LaaS FAQ

What is LaaS

Lighting as a Service is a subscription-based model where we design, install, and maintain energy-efficient lighting systems with no upfront capital cost. Instead of purchasing the lighting infrastructure, you pay a fixed monthly fee over an agreed term.

How does LaaS work?

  • Assessment & Design – We conduct a full lighting audit to identify savings and design an optimised solution.

  • Installation – We handle all supply and installation works.

  • Funding – The project is fully funded through operating expenditure (OPEX).

  • Maintenance & Monitoring – We provide ongoing servicing, support, and performance monitoring for the life of the agreement.

  • Upgrade Options – Technology upgrades can be incorporated into future terms.

    • Upgrade to new technology

    • Purchase the system outright for a $1

What types of lighting can be included?

We can deliver LaaS for:

  • Interior and exterior LED lighting

  • Emergency and exit lighting

  • Smart lighting controls (e.g. Casambi, DALI)

How is LaaS different from a lighting upgrade?

A standard lighting upgrade requires upfront capital and may not include long-term maintenance. LaaS shifts the cost to a service model, delivering a fully managed, performance-based solution without tying up internal budgets.

Is LaaS tax deductible?

Yes. Since it’s treated as an operational expense, your LaaS payments are typically fully tax deductible—check with your accountant for specific advice.
