“The installation went very, very smoothly. It was done in three days over a weekend, which meant it was very much less disruptive for the operations on site, particularly as we are a major hub for training and recruitment on this site.”
Improvement in Energy Efficiency
“Everyone was amazed at how quickly the installation was completed. The results have impressed everyone, and we’ve had positive feedback across departments. The spaces look brighter, clearer, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.”
We get it. This sounds
too good to be true.
We also know your lighting isn’t as efficient as it could be.

If you have a burning question that we haven't answered here, ask us directly.
What is Lighting as a Service?
LaaS is a subscription-based lighting solution. We design, procure, upgrade, and maintain your facility's lighting to be smarter and more energy-efficient. Instead of CapEx, you pay a fixed monthly service fee from OpEx savings, gaining improved lighting, increased energy efficiency, and worry-free operation.
What’s included with LaaS?
We manage every aspect of your LED lighting upgrade, providing a complete turnkey service. This includes project design, procurement, installation, recycling, commissioning, and a 5-year on-site maintenance agreement for after-sales support. With our comprehensive project management, there are no hidden fees.
Leave your lighting with us, and you can focus on running your business.
What’s the catch?
We’ve been asked that before. There is no catch, it's just counting. But to prove it, we’re willing to pay for the upgrade upfront, so you will benefit from day one, and pay us back a fraction of your savings.
But you don’t need to believe us — check out our client testimonials.
Why should we install LED lights in our commercial premises?
Upgrading to LED lighting is one of the most impactful and financially astute decisions a business can make today. It delivers a powerful combination of significant cost savings, improved operational efficiency, and a healthier, more productive working environment. For any business looking to reduce overheads, enhance its green credentials, and improve its workspace, installing LED lights is a compelling proposition.
Who are LumenStream’s suppliers?
LumenStream collaborates with leading global manufacturers of lighting, power, and control components, including Philips, Osram, Nichia, MeanWell, Tridonic, Samsung, Cree, and Casambi. This ensures we consistently offer our customers the most advanced technology available.
How do we get started?
Schedule a demo today with one of our project developers!
Can I see one of your previous installations?
Yes, we always encourage prospective clients to connect with our current customers to gain direct insight into their experiences. We've successfully completed projects throughout the UK and EU, and we would be delighted to arrange a firsthand viewing of our work for you.
How quickly can you carry out an LED lighting upgrade?
We can have engineers on site within 1 month of signing a contract to start your upgrade. Our Operations Team average 500 luminaires per week.
Can my own electrician carry out the installation?
We use and recommend a panel of highly skilled contractors across the UK & EU.
These are our preferred partners but we are happy to discuss using an electrician of your choice if they match our minimum requirements of qualification, insurance and track record.
If an LED light fitting fails what do I do?
You notify LumenStream and we will come and replace the LED light fitting.
Customers are provided with contact details for LumenStream's Customer Support Team who will handle any project support related enquiries.
Will the upgrade be a hassle and disrupt our daily operations?
Not at all. Customers sometimes expect their facility to be overrun with electricians, but that's not the case. Our teams work in small pods of up to two operatives, deploying safe isolation procedures to replace one light fitting at a time.
This means there's no need to shut down your facility's lighting circuits during the upgrade, allowing your employees to continue business as usual. Any complex work areas inaccessible during regular hours will be scheduled for evenings or weekends.
How do LumenStream get paid?
Upon the successful completion of your lighting upgrade, LumenStream is paid a predetermined, fixed monthly service fee.
How do LumenStream calculate the monthly service fee?
The monthly service fee is based on the cost of LEDs, project management, and installation, and is completely independent of the energy savings achieved. We will demonstrate how these future savings will offset the project cost, creating a surplus in your operational expenditure.
Is this financed lighting? Is this a lease?
LaaS is a service-based offering for lighting, not a lease or financed lighting. There is no embedded interest charge or indexation of the service fees. This offering remains off-balance sheet for your company, thus preserving your financial covenants and future borrowing capacity.
Is this off-balance sheet?
We offer customers an off-balance sheet option, where LumenStream depreciates the LED lights.
After a five-year term, full title of the depreciated LED lights transfers to the client, subject to their written consent. There are no hidden clauses or additional payments, and clients continue to benefit from the savings provided by LumenStream technology.
Can we choose to spend our CapEx budget on the project instead?
Absolutely! Every customer proposal includes two options:
- Lighting as a Service (LaaS)
- Outright purchase via Capital Expenditure
We also provide a cumulative net cash flow forecast to help you compare the two options over the project's duration, enabling you to decide what best suits your business.
How do LumenStream calculate the savings for LaaS?
Calculating potential savings from a lighting upgrade is a straightforward process.
We use four key variables:
- Existing Lighting vs. Proposed Lighting
- Operational hours of use
- kWh Unit rate of electricity
- Maintenance costs
Additional accuracy can be achieved by incorporating enhanced savings from sensor controls.
Won't this end up costing me more in the long term?
No. We will provide you with options to either pay upfront or pay a fixed monthly service fee. You will note that there is zero interest or indexation applied to the LaaS option. It gives your finance team a simple decision, pay with cash upfront and await a return on investment based on annual savings, or pay a fixed monthly fee that adds up to the same value on a "Pay as you Save" basis.
Do LumenStream guarantee the energy savings?
We guarantee only the energy consumption of our LED light fittings.
While we cannot control future energy prices, our clients' operating hours, human traffic, or sunlight, energy efficiency technology will help reduce the impact of rising energy costs on your business.
Who owns the LED lighting at the end of the service period?
Our clients.
We transfer full title of the LED lighting to our clients at the end of the five years. There are no buy-out clauses or hidden charges – ownership simply and automatically transfers from LumenStream to our client.
What happens at the end of the service period?
At the end of the service period, LumenStream's customers can either:
- Allow the contract to expire and benefit from 100% of the future savings
- Enter into an ongoing maintenance agreement
- Upgrade all over again to the most cutting edge technology available in the future
What happens if we move facilities?
You are obliged to pay all the monthly service fees once you have entered into an agreement with us. If you plan to move before the contract expires, then a LaaS contract is possibly not for you. However, we can arrange an early break fee which will only cost you the balance of outstanding monthly service fees. Or, if you wish, we can even repackage your payments into a shorter term that will increase proportionally to cover the cost across the shorter term. In short, ending the contract early will not result in any penalties.
