How to Increase the Yield of Your Property

For investors, yield is the key metric in evaluating a property. It is essentially determined by two factors: rental income and operating expenses. Operating costs often hide untapped savings potential – and the fastest lever is lighting.

Retrofitting from fluorescent tubes or inefficient LED systems to standardised, internationally compliant LED systems (G5/T5 and G13/T8 sockets) reduces energy and maintenance costs by up to 80% – with minimal CAPEX. With the “Light as a Service” rental model, the upgrade can even be achieved without any upfront investment.

The advantage of standardised systems: existing sockets, fixtures, and luminaires remain in place. Light sources can be replaced independently of the manufacturer and individually by tenants – without an electrician and without costly conversions.

Example: The GLT TUBE, developed and manufactured in Germany, offers 130,000 hours of lifetime, an excellent environmental balance (EPD according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804), and thereby sustainably increases property value.

👉 Conclusion: The right technical intervention – such as the use of standardised LED retrofit lamps in G5 or G13 sockets “Made in Germany” – permanently increases the yield of a property. A wrong decision, such as converting to luminaires with integrated LEDs, on the other hand, can noticeably reduce yield.
