LED Renovation
Energy Efficient Refurbishment of Lamps

As energy prices rise sharply and climate change is more necessary than ever to reduce electricity consumption and exploit all savings potential of LED conversion. Replacing old lighting with LED lighting systems is a highly efficient way to save money. Since 2023, most old lighting systems have been banned, which is why replacing halogen lamps with LED lamps is unavoidable and represents an additional incentive. There are opportunities for funding measures


Replace fluorescent tubes with LED lamps

LED refurbishment involves replacing outdated ones and in the use of expensive fluorescent tubes against modern LED lamps. The replacement brings many benefits, including:

  • Saving Electricity Costs – Energy Efficiency
  • Reducing Co2 Emissions – Environment
  • Improving Light Quality – Visual Comfort
  • Lower Maintenance Costs – Wallet

Better quality of light and possible energy savings through four renovation stages

The advantages mentioned of switching to LED lamps become clearly noticeable depending on the renovation stage. With each variant implemented, the lighting quality of the lamps increases, and the energy savings become greater. The switch is worth it in each case. Four renovation stages are possible for LED renovation:

  • 1:1 Lamp Replacement
  • 1:1 Luminaire Replacement
  • New lighting
  • New controllable lighting

Option 1 – 1:1 Lamp Replacement (savings potential approx. 30%)

The simplest form of conversion is to replace existing lamps with new ones, more efficient LED lamps. There is only a small potential for savings here and should only be considered, if other options cannot be applied.

Option 2 – 1:1 Luminaire Replacement (savings potential approx. 50%)

The existing lights will be replaced 1:1 with new LED lights. This may require only minimal structural work.

Option 3 – New Lighting with Professional Planning and Cost-effectiveness Calculation (savings potential approx. 60%)

After analysing the requirements, a customized lighting concept is developed. Luminaires are optimally positioned in compliance with the standards. The savings potential is calculated in advance.

Option 4 – New Controllable Lighting with Professional Planning and Cost-effectiveness

Additional intelligent control with presence and daylight-dependent sensors ensures optimal energy efficiency and lighting quality.

KfW Funding for LED Luminaire Conversion

The replacement of LED Lighting indoors and outdoors is subsidized by the government, because the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection wants to reduce CO2 emissions and energy consumption with various funding programs. Therefore, KfW is taking on part of the cost of converting LED lighting to more energy-efficient solutions. Other regional funding programs also provide support to make the switch to LED Lighting more attractive. The funding for LED conversion refers to:

  • Complete Lighting Systems
  • Control and Regulation Technology
  • Purchase, Installation and Setup
  • Uninstall as well
  • Professional Disposal of Old Lighting Systems
