Seven costly mistakes

Swis­sEnergy recently published a fact sheet üon switching from fluo­rescent lamps to LEDs. The fact sheet includes a special ‘hit parade’ listing the seven most expensive mistakes made when replacing lighting.

Since we have been helping building owners save money with intel­ligent lighting solu­tions for over seven years, we will show you here how to avoid these mistakes.

This is probably the most common mistake. We under­stand that a compre­hensive analysis of existing lumi­naires and future solu­tions involves a lot of work. You may also wonder whether it will actually pay off in the end. Our answer: defi­nitely, if you do it right! 

Even if lighting is not your core business and you may not be familiar with the latest tech­nology, don’t worry! 

You just need to know how to avoid these mistakes.

So why pay 53% more – every month?

Let us guess: You want to save money on your lighting reno­vation project. That makes sense. But the cheapest solution is not always the best. 

As Energi­eSchweiz puts it: ‘The solution with the lowest investment costs can become expensive over the years’.

• Cheap (non-intel­ligent) lighting options consume signif­i­cantly more energy than intel­ligent, networked lighting solu­tions. This means that you will pay signif­i­cantly more for elec­tricity in the long run.
• Cheap lumi­naires do not provide the same quality of light and the same lighting expe­rience as connected lighting. Often, they do not even meet the stan­dards. This can lead to eye strain, headaches and fatigue.
• Cheap lumi­naires are often not as durable. This means that they have to be replaced more often, driving up the total cost.

As a building owner, your goal is to get a good return on your investment. Therefore, when making investment deci­sions, consider the total cost per year and the energy consumption over a period of 5 years. Our specialised team can help you find out how much energy you can save!

Even if you have installed a state-of-the-art, intel­ligent lighting solution, you may be missing out on signif­icant savings. How? Once the reno­vation is complete, it is important to customise the intel­ligent lighting system. Make sure that it works effi­ciently and is opti­mised for the most effective use of energy. 

Who can guar­antee that your intel­ligent lighting system is working effi­ciently and that your energy bill will be signif­i­cantly lower? Leave it to us as professionals 😊.

The quality of light has an influence on the health and produc­tivity of users. If the quality of light is insuf­fi­cient, it is not pleasant to live or safe to work. 

The solution sounds simple: choose high-quality, networked lumi­naires that provide pleasant light.

There are state subsidies for intel­ligent lighting reno­va­tions. Many building owners are unaware of this. They also don’t know that the appli­cation must be submitted before the contract is awarded. Those who act too late miss out on a valuable reno­vation contribution.

Good to know. What now? 

We have specialists who can help you apply for state funding for lighting reno­va­tions. We do the work, you get the money. It couldn’t be easier!

Often, building owners delegate the lighting to the elec­trician. This may sound like the easiest option. The truth is that most elec­tri­cians are not familiar with the latest inno­va­tions and cannot offer you the best solution. Never­theless, you need to hand over your lighting reno­vation to someone else. Someone you trust.

What should you do? Here are some tips:

• Transfer overall respon­si­bility for the project to one company. This way, you have a single point of contact and the guar­antee that everyone is working towards the same goal.
• Create a clear division of tasks between the elec­trician and the lumi­naire supplier. This will help you avoid confusion and misunderstandings.
• Keep a written record of all deci­sions and agree­ments. This can be valuable in the event of any disputes.
• Hold regular meetings to review progress. This will ensure that everyone involved is on the same page.

It all sounds like a lot of work. It is. But we won’t leave you on your own. Project management is our bread and butter, and we’ll be happy to support and guide you. So that your lighting reno­vation project can be completed on time and within budget!
