As a building owner or facility manager, you may or may not have heard the term “lighting-as-a-service”. In today’s post, we will start by first defining what lighting-as-a-service is, then we will go into the particulars of how this program can help your business in the following areas: saving time, saving money and save energy expense.

I would like to give some historical context into how new lighting systems were purchased and secured. In the past, if you wanted new lighting for your facility you would need to research the new lighting on your own time, then pay a large up-front payment to secure the lights. Lighting-as-a-service changes this paradigm for your organization. Instead of having to research products, work with installers, and pay large upfront costs, now you just pay one small easy payment on a monthly basis.
