More yield through light management

How “Alex” saves thousands of euros in electricity costs every year thanks to LichtWART

“Alex” is the proud operator of 100 supermarkets. This inventive business owner has found a clever solution to reduce operating costs while operating more sustainably. The key to the impressive savings lies in the introduction of LichtWART in all locations. Let's take a closer look at how Alex, even though she is just a fictional person, is making significant cost savings by using this innovative technology.

The financial benefits:

The main reason Alex chose LichtWART is the significant cost savings. Without LichtWART, each store would have an annual electricity consumption of around 8,760 kWh, which adds up to 876,000 kWh per year for 100 supermarkets.

Calculation example for outdoor lighting and neon signs:
With a total output of 3,000 W and an average lighting duration of 8 hours / day, this results in 3,000 W x 8 h x 365 days = 8,760 kWh per year.

By using LichtWART, which enables energy savings of 40% on average, annual electricity consumption can be reduced to around 5,256 kWh per supermarket. This results in a total reduction in electricity consumption of 525,600 kWh per year for all 100 supermarkets.

Without LichtWART:
8,760 kWh x 100 supermarkets x 0.24 €/kWh = 210,000 € per year

With LichtWART:
5,256 kWh x 100 supermarkets x 0.24 €/kWh = 126,000 € per year

By using LichtWART, Alex saves an impressive €84,000 in electricity costs in her 100 supermarkets every year. These are considerable savings which, minus the significantly lower investment in the technology, have a direct impact on her profit margin.

Further advantages

Although cost savings are undoubtedly the main focus, LichtWART also offers a number of other benefits:

• Sustainability
  LichtWART enables intelligent control of lighting, resulting in a significant reduction in light immissions.
• Real-time monitoring and automatic fault detection
  Automatic fault detection saves time and enables a rapid response to faults to avoid prolonged downtime.
• Remote access and configuration
  Alex can configure and control the lighting in their supermarkets from anywhere in the world via a browser, optimizing resource utilization.
• Cost savings
  The cost savings are not just limited to electricity costs. They also include reduced maintenance and service costs.

The story of Alex shows how modern technology and intelligent control systems such as LichtWART can not only reduce operating costs, but also help maximize business success. Even though Alex is a fictional character, the impressive savings are convincing proof that sustainability and profitability can go hand in hand.
