FAQs
What are the main advantages of upgrading to an LED lighting system?
LEDs consume 50 – 75 % less electricity than fluorescent, halogen or HID lamps, last up to 50,000 hours (about 10-15 years of normal use), emit very little heat, and offer better colour rendering and instant-on performance. In Athens this translates to lower energy bills, reduced air-conditioning load during hot summers, fewer lamp replacements, and full compliance with current EU eco-design and RoHS directives.
How much money and energy can I actually save in Athens?
Savings depend on your existing fixtures and operating hours. As a rule of thumb, replacing a 2 × 36 W fluorescent troffer with an 18 W LED panel cuts consumption by 54 W. In an office that runs 3,000 h/year, that is 162 kWh saved per fixture. At the average Attica electricity tariff of €0.17 /kWh, you save about €27 per fixture every year. A 100-fixture office would therefore save roughly 16,200 kWh and €2,700 annually, yielding a payback period of 1.5 – 3 years when rebates are included.
Can LED lamps be installed in my existing light fittings and wiring?
In most cases, yes. Our team performs a free on-site audit to decide whether to use retrofit LED lamps, ballast-bypass tubes or complete new luminaires. Athens buildings generally operate on 230 V single-phase or 400 V three-phase supplies, both of which are LED-ready. We check dimming controls, emergency lighting circuits and surge protection, then present the safest and most economical upgrade path. Minimal rewiring is required and your current switching lines are preserved.
How long will the installation take and will it disrupt my business or household?
A typical apartment or small retail shop can be upgraded in one working day. Medium offices and restaurants need 2-3 days, while large industrial or hospitality sites are completed in phased sections over 1-2 weeks. We schedule work after hours or on weekends when necessary, isolate individual circuits so only the area under renovation is without light, and always leave emergency escape routes illuminated. Clean-up and recycling of old lamps are included.
Are there rebates or incentives for LED lighting upgrades in Greece?
Yes. The "ΗΛΕΚΤΡΑ" programme, EU Recovery & Resilience Facility grants, and low-interest loans from the Hellenic Development Bank all subsidise energy-efficiency projects. Businesses can claim up to 40 % of eligible costs, and homeowners receive tax deductions under Article 15 of the Greek Income Tax Code. We prepare all application paperwork, energy reports and recycling certificates so you can secure the maximum available funding.
What warranty and maintenance come with your LED systems?
We supply brand-name luminaires with a 5- to 7-year manufacturer’s warranty covering chips, drivers and housing. Lumen maintenance is rated L70 at 50,000 hours, meaning the light output will not fall below 70 % before that time. Routine maintenance involves only periodic cleaning of diffusers and checking surge-protection devices. Should a driver fail, our Athens warehouse stocks replacements for same-day service, and our optional maintenance contract extends full parts & labour coverage to 10 years.
