Flipping the Green Switch in Malaysia

Green Switch

Lighting up Malaysia towards a greener & sustainable living


Climate change is a global problem and Malaysia is doing its part to build a sustainable future. Under the 12th Malaysia Plan, Malaysia has announced the ambition to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and in doing so, deliver a more innovative economy to create new opportunities for green growth.

 

Energy-efficient LED lighting plays a powerful role in fighting the climate crisis and switching to LED lighting offers a simple and effective solution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As the world leader in lighting, Signify has designed the Green Switch program to provide states, cities, businesses and households with the means to act immediately and make a real difference. IoT capabilities built into our connected lighting infrastructure can also help bring the smart future closer to reality.

 

Upgrading your lighting has never been easier

 

Businesses can take advantage of green incentives offered through the Green Investment Tax Allowance (GITA) and Green Income Tax Exemption (GITE)1 introduced by Malaysian Green Technology & Climate Change Corporation2 to make the switch to LED lighting quickly and effectively. Our team of lighting experts can help you overcome investment hurdles by designing the perfect lighting system and crafting a financial plan that fits your budget.

 

Choose to support Green Switch today and make a tangible impact on the environment and Malaysia’s future. Get in touch with Signify for a discussion on practical steps you can take to make the Green Switch.

With connected lighting

When “Yes” is selected the estimate considers the saving generated by a connected lighting solution that is a system using Internet of Things (IoT) technology to connect LED lighting devices to a network: lights can be remotely controlled, monitored, and optimized through a management system. Connected lighting solutions are designed to provide a range of benefits, such as energy savings, improved user experience, and enhanced safety and security. Otherwise, when “No” is selected the estimate considers the saving generated by standard LED lighting solution.

Circular economy


The circular economy has everything to do with sustainable consumption, reuse, and eliminating waste. Signify’s recyclable 3D-printed luminaires cut the carbon footprint for lighting in half. Circular streetlights reduce maintenance costs by 60%, with zero waste to landfill. And Light-as-a-Service approaches promote sustainability along the entire lighting lifecycle.

Clean mobility


Charge stations built into digital streetlights support the Green Deal’s goal of a million EV charging points in Europe by 2025. Savings from energy-efficiency renovations and LED and solar street lighting can power tens of thousands of EVs without extra power generation.

Biodiversity


A farm-to-fork approach helps to preserve the world’s food supply. LED grow lights boost crop quality and yield with up to half the energy consumption. Lighting designed for vertical farming near cities reduces the carbon and water use, and reduces food miles, while aquaculture lighting increases yield, improves feed conversion and improves animal welfare.

Digitalization


Digitalizing your lighting can eliminate 80% of lighting-related energy consumption. But that’s only the beginning. With sensors for collecting data and embedded communications, lighting can join the digital ecosystem and help you realize the full decarbonization potential of green solutions. Connected lighting systems can also offer exciting new applications and services that improve city inhabitants’ daily lives.

Europe needs to get tough in its switch to LED

 

The European Green Deal wants Europe to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. To achieve this, Signify is calling for the annual pace of building renovation to be doubled to 3% a year.

Make the switch to LED

Make the switch to LED: The clock is ticking and the world is warming

 

The time for change is now. If businesses and cities around the globe switch to LED lighting, we can reduce our carbon footprint by more than 553 million tonnes of CO2, the amount of emissions that 25 billion trees could sequester in a year.
