The Challenge
Lighting systems at Swecon’s sites were technically outdated, energy-intensive, and required frequent maintenance. The company sought a solution that would combine sustainability and cost efficiency – without major upfront investments or disruptions to operations.
The solution – GLT Light as a Service and LED retrofit with the GLT LED TUBE
Swecon Baumaschinen chose to upgrade to GLT LED TUBES using the GLT Rent “Light as a Service” model – enabling a complete LED modernisation with zero upfront investment. In total, 3,450 outdated T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes across 13 locations were replaced in a 1:1 retrofit process compliant with IEC/EN 62776, carried out seamlessly during ongoing operations. The upgrade within the rental model was complemented by GLT High Bay Beam industrial luminaires and GLT High Bay Ecoline outdoor luminaires. All installation work was performed by German LED Tech technicians.
The existing luminaires were converted to EN standards, and the old ballasts were removed. The LED driver is fully integrated into the GLT LED TUBE. The new LED lighting meets all technical standards and legal requirements for quality, energy efficiency and sustainability. With the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) of the GLT TUBE, all environmental impacts of the lighting system can be transparently documented.
