Case Study: City of Kortrijk achieves sustainable, cost-saving lighting with Signify Circular Lighting

City of Kortrijk cuts lighting energy use by up to 80% with Signify

The city of Kortrijk sought to become more sustainable, improve user experience, and save money while eliminating the hassle of maintenance. Their challenge was to finance and manage a modern lighting upgrade. They partnered with Signify and opted for its Circular Lighting service, choosing to purchase light as a service rather than the physical luminaires themselves.

Signify implemented a performance-based contract where the city pays for the light it uses. Over a 10-year period, Signify maintains the system, provides updates, and ensures the luminaires are reused or recycled at the end of the contract. The intelligent lighting system, which includes scheduling and presence detection, delivers energy savings of up to 80%. This solution relieves the city of all maintenance concerns and provides access to the latest technology without a large upfront investment.
