Designed to give our clients peace of mind with fixed energy costs and the latest LED lighting technology, our Light as a Service (LaaS) solution is a service-based business model whereby light is charged on a subscription basis (based on energy savings), enabling you to outsource lighting over a set time.
Unlike our Zero Capital Expenditure solution, Airis maintains the ownership of and thus responsibility for the equipment throughout the duration of the subscription contract. This means it does not fall foul of hire purchase financing restrictions typically found within funding guidelines.
Dealing with only one company, Airis Energy Solutions will be a complete single supply chain for the whole process, offering manufacture, design, financing, installation and maintenance of their lighting solutions.
The Lighting as a Service (Laas) process is simple and hassle free:
- We assess the potential of the client’s premises and gather data relating to their current lighting electricity costs.
- We then supply a forecasted savings projection per year over the lifetime of the lighting system, including the government’s forecasted increases to electricity costs.
- We design, manufacture, supply, install, warranty and most importantly finance the entire project.
- Electricity consumption is typically reduced by around 65% with high efficiency LEDs and our Exilis Smart Sensors can help achieve a further 60% savings over and above conventional LED technology.
- A percentage of the generated savings are used to pay the Airis subscription for the lighting, with the remainder offering net savings to the client.
- The typical length of an agreement is 5 years or longer.
Full parts and labour
As the product remains in our ownership, the subscription includes full parts and labour. Our clients are not required to touch the lighting system during the subscription period, thereby removing the costly requirement for access equipment, replacement lamps, labour and associated downtime.
Design and install
Our lighting designers and installers have an extensive knowledge of current lighting requirements for all business and public environments.
Airis have a wealth of experience working with business and public services to achieve valuable savings and will provide 3D lighting design plans where required prior to any project works.
Our install teams are committed to reducing the hassle of major works and will work around the client’s operating requirements 24/7.

Frequently Asked Questions
LaaS is a subscription-based model where lighting solutions, such as LED systems, are installed and maintained without upfront costs. Businesses pay a monthly fee, allowing them to upgrade to energy-efficient lighting while reducing energy consumption and carbon footprint. The savings on energy bills typically outweigh the monthly cost, leading to net cash savings.
LaaS provides energy-efficient LED lighting, which uses significantly less energy than traditional lighting. This reduction in energy consumption lowers the overall carbon emissions of your business, contributing to sustainability goals and helping meet any mandatory carbon reduction targets.
No, one of the main advantages of LaaS is that it requires no upfront capital expenditure. Instead, businesses can spread the cost of the lighting installation over time through a lease structure, making it more financially manageable.
The installation process is typically planned to minimise disruption to your business. Installers can work during off-peak hours or weekends, ensuring your operations continue as smoothly as possible.
If your business expands or moves, LaaS providers can often accommodate changes. They may modify or expand the lighting system to meet new requirements, or relocate the lighting system to your new premises under the existing agreement.
Yes, the energy-efficient LED systems provided through LaaS can help your business comply with UK regulations, such as the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme (ESOS) and Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). By adopting LaaS, you can improve your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating and reduce regulatory risks.
Contract lengths for LaaS typically range from 5 to 10 years, depending on the terms agreed upon with the provider. The length of the contract is often determined by the payback period for the energy savings, and the expected lifespan of the lighting system. Some providers may offer flexibility in contract terms based on the school’s specific needs and budget.
