Meaning, we’re doing all the work and investing in new LED lighting whereas in return on a contract basis we get a percentage of your savings. In addition, we cut your maintenance costs by 100% , meaning you won’t have to change lamps by yourself.

It doesn’t cost you anything. We split existing cash flow that currently goes to electricity suppliers, meanwhile your investment is 0 EUR.

Sure. Lighting as a service (LaaS) is an option for rented spaces too. Conditions for a contract are still the same – profit increase at zero cost. There are a few options, most common are the following – either a lighting system can remain at the building you’re moving out or it’s possible to relocate it to your new place. Moreover, we’d be happy to help with that. At the end of a day, it’s a tenant who pays for the electricity bills.

It is yours. No matter for how long you decide to use our services, you can consider the lighting system as your own and after the agreement expires it automatically passes on to your ownership.

High quality LEDs have no UV radiation, no extra noise and less heat radiation,  consequently working conditions at premises improve.

LED is a completely different and advanced technology – there’re light emitting diodes in contrast of gas discharge. LED technology is much greener, safer and above all – energy efficient due to a cutting edge technology of light emitting diodes unlike gas discharge in simple bulbs. RCG Lighthouse main focus is the use of the most efficient LED lighting that provides efficiency of over 180 lm/W according to laboratory tests. In comparison, majority of available LEDs in the stores can deliver only about 100 lm/W.

What’s LED life expectancy – you may ask. LED lighting is a long lasting technology. Sure thing, as every bulb, LED isn’t perpetuum mobile, it has it’s own overtime loss on lighting output. Interesting fact to keep in mind – gas discharged bulb loses up to 50% of their output in the first 1-2 years while LED is losing only 3%.
