Since 2010, the lighting sector has undergone significant changes. During that time, light emitting diode (LED) lights have gained traction over other types of lights because they provide high performance and can be integrated into the design of a light fixture. In response to this progression, manufacturers and service providers within the lighting sector have developed a financial structure known as Lighting as a Service (LaaS). LaaS may also be referred to as Lighting as a Service.

LaaS is a subscription-based approach to the provision of lighting products and associated services including specification, installation, maintenance, replacement, refurbishment, recycling and so on. It is intended to help organisations incorporate constant innovations taking place in the LED industry without any upfront costs. In this model, customers pay a monthly fee for the lighting service to upgrade the lights.

= LaaS vendor/client relationships =

LaaS is intended to be a circular process that incorporates the entire cradle to cradle life cycle of a lighting solution. The approach stresses the delivery of an energy efficient, long-term service rather than the procurement of a disposable, short-term commodity.

The LaaS approach may be suitable in applications where high quality lighting is required, but budgetary constraints may impede a permanent investment in a suitable solution. This type of installation is generally preferable in a significant refurbishment project within an owner-occupied site where non-LED lighting exists and needs to be replaced with something that is more environmentally friendly.

LaaS may also be used in new construction projects. It may be especially appealing to organisations that ascribe to principles associated with circular economy beliefs.

Whether used in an existing building or in new construction, LaaS agreements should be tied to the building or site rather than the owner. This way, should the site be sold to another owner, the arrangement will remain with the site..

With vendors retaining ownership of the components, they will typically tend to be more inclined to maintain the service in a proactive manner. The collection of monthly fees on a long term basis will motivate them to continue to provide components that can satisfy the needs of the client and are increasingly efficient.

= Modular systems =

One aspect of LaaS is the use of modular lighting components. No longer proprietary or sealed, these systems are meant to include parts - possibly from more than one manufacturer - that can be interchanged and replaced to extend their longevity.

When it becomes necessary to replace a component within a modular system, this can be done quickly and easily. This may also contribute to their maintenance and reuse aspects. It may also be more straightforward to reclaim suitable materials from replaceable components within modular systems.
