FINANCIAL ARBITRAGE
How the Self-Funding Energy Model Works
Why continue paying exorbitant electricity bills for inefficient legacy fittings when that exact cashflow can fund cutting-edge smart technology while generating immediate net positive savings?
STEP 01
Forensic Site Survey & Lux Mapping
Our certified energy engineers audit your facility, cataloguing existing fitting wattages, annual burn hours, workplace lux levels, and current kWh utility tariff rates to establish a clear baseline.
STEP 02
Engineered Design & Cashflow Modeling
We engineer a high-efficiency layout using premium luminaires and smart sensors. We structure a monthly finance lease where energy savings exceed the lease repayments from Month 1.
STEP 03
Turnkey Install & Immediate Savings
NICEIC-approved electrical teams handle complete installation outside your operating hours with zero downtime. Your electricity consumption drops immediately upon commissioning.
SMART SENSORS & AUTOMATION
Engineered for Warehouses, Manufacturing & Offices
Tailored commercial lighting and building intelligence designed to endure heavy industrial environments while maximising staff visual comfort and productivity.
Commercial LED Luminaires
Replace 250W–400W metal halide high-bays and fluorescent battens with ultra-efficient 180+ lumens/watt LED fittings delivering superior clarity and 50,000+ hour lifespans.
- Industrial high-bay and low-bay warehouse fittings
- Anti-glare UGR<19 office architectural panels
- IP65/IP66 weatherproof and dust-resistant housings
PIR & Microwave Sensors
Stop illuminating empty space. High-sensitivity occupancy sensors detect movement up to 15 meters away, automatically switching or dimming fixtures when areas are unoccupied.
- Aisle-specific narrow-beam warehouse detection
- Corridor hold-time and step-down background lighting
- Wireless RF mesh connectivity for zero rewiring
Daylight Harvesting
Integrated photocells continuously measure ambient sunlight entering through roof lights and windows, automatically dimming artificial fixtures to maintain a constant lux level.
- Continuous smooth 1–100% lux level compensation
- Up to 30% additional energy savings over standard LED
- Eliminates over-illumination and visual fatigue
DALI Emergency Lighting
Automate your statutory building compliance. DALI addressable emergency fittings run scheduled self-tests and automatically generate digital compliance logs for fire safety audits.
- Eliminates monthly manual engineer key switch testing
- Cloud-based compliance certification logging
- Full BS 5266-1 UK emergency lighting compliance
MANUFACTURING RETROFIT SPOTLIGHT
West Midlands Industrial Facility: £24,800 Annual Electricity Savings
A major industrial fabrication plant in the Black Country was burning through high electricity tariffs powered by obsolete 400W sodium high bays. Your Digital Hub engineered a comprehensive LED retrofit across 65,000 sq ft of workshop and storage space, integrating microwave aisle sensors. The project was delivered with zero capital outlay, reducing lighting power by 74% and generating £24,800 in direct net annual electricity savings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to key questions on commercial LED financing, installation, and EPC impact.
Do we genuinely pay nothing upfront for a full commercial LED retrofit?
Yes. We structure the upgrade using operational energy efficiency lease funding. Because modern intelligent LEDs reduce lighting electricity consumption by 65% to 80%, the cash savings on your monthly electricity bill exceed the lease payment, leaving you cashflow positive from day one.
Can installation take place out of hours to avoid business disruption?
Yes. Our installation teams regularly operate evenings, nights, and weekends to avoid interfering with warehouse forklift operations or office environments. We manage complete access scaffolding and MEWP scissor lift equipment without halting your operations.
What warranty and replacement cover is provided?
All commercial fittings installed through our partnerships come with comprehensive 5 to 10 year manufacturer warranties covering luminaires, drivers, and sensors. In the rare event of a driver failure, replacement fittings are dispatched and fitted at zero cost.
How does intelligent LED lighting impact our commercial building EPC rating?
Under UK Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), commercial properties must meet EPC ‘B’ ratings by 2030. Lighting accounts for up to 40% of building energy use. An LED and smart sensor upgrade is the single fastest and most cost-effective way to jump 1 to 2 EPC rating bands without altering heating or building fabric.
