"We only pay for a service contract for all our stores. This includes the entire conversion of all our stores, specifically the removal and recycling of old lighting and the installation of new LED luminaires. The maintenance of the lighting is also easier. In the event of a problem or defect, one email is enough to have it solved."

- Henk Schurink, Construction and Shop Design Manager, Praxis

Customer Challenge

Praxis and Brico, daughters of the parent organization Maxeda DIY Group, wanted to equip their branches with energy-efficient LED lighting. The aim was to enhance the range and to save costs. Light as a Service was chosen for more than 120 branches, with each only paying the all-in monthly service amount and the energy costs – no bills for installation and maintenance.

Wecycle Award

"As one of the largest players in the Dutch retail market, it's important to make our stores sustainable. We followed developments in energy-efficient lighting closely and our store lighting is completely up to date again" said Frank Pruijn of Praxis. Over 800 metal halide lamps and 50,000 fluorescent tubes and luminaires were replaced by LED lighting. Wecycle, who is responsible for the collection and recycling of waste electrical appliances, awarded Praxis with a Gouden Bakkie Award for this project.

"With this solution, Praxis and Brico go the extra mile in the sustainability department as some of the pendant luminaires were specially designed and made for them digitally. They are also fully recyclable, ensuring a low CO2 footprint during manufacturing and transportation. All of this has led to energy savings of 70% and no investment costs. In addition, Maxeda handed in the old luminaires to Wecycle for all 120 branches, so that they could be correctly recycled – a move which won them the Gouden Bakkie Award."
