Outdated lighting systems often incur high energy costs, require extensive maintenance, and offer limited options for demand-based control. Retrofitting lighting systems with LED technology can drastically reduce operating costs. In most cases, the necessary investments pay for themselves within just a few years, resulting in net savings on total costs.
In addition, digital and intelligent control concepts can significantly reduce energy consumption and at the same time contribute to an increased quality of stay and an emotional spatial effect. The key to successful energy-efficient refurbishment is careful planning in order to exploit all potential and to be able to benefit from the various state subsidy programs.
The government subsidizes energy-efficient upgrades to LED lighting by covering up to 20% of acquisition and installation costs, as well as 50% of planning costs. InstaLighting assists you with the grant application process and plans your transition to LED—from the initial consultation and planning stages through to final commissioning.
The costs of an LED retrofit depend heavily on the size and condition of the existing system, as well as the requirements for the new lighting.
Crucial factors include, for example:
The investment costs are offset by long-term savings in energy, maintenance, and operation.

InstaLighting was commissioned to equip the Olympia Shopping Center in Munich with new lighting. The previous lighting setup included, among others, 150W and 70W HQI-TS luminaires. The existing system offered only stepped dimming and required up to 220 W for daytime lighting and 70 W for nighttime lighting. As part of the renovation, the lighting was replaced with modern LED luminaires from InstaLighting, utilizing four 11.9 W LED modules. This reduced power consumption to 47.6 W for daytime lighting and 23.8 W for nighttime lighting. At the same time, the new system enables continuous (stepless) lighting control.
The result: approx. 80% energy savings
In addition to significantly reducing energy consumption and operating costs, the quality of the lighting was also improved. The modern lighting concept contributes to a more attractive atmosphere and an enhanced shopping experience.
The project demonstrates that an energy-efficient lighting retrofit can combine energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and lighting quality.
Energy-efficient retrofitting of existing lighting is particularly attractive for buildings with long operating hours and large illuminated areas.
