Energy efficiency
In early October 2022, Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne presented the energy efficiency plan. She announced that reducing energy consumption is a collective goal, to be pursued in the short and long term, including:
- A 10% reduction in energy consumption in the next 2 years
- A 40% reduction in energy consumption by 2050, to hope to achieve carbon neutrality
All ministers, as well as President Emmanuel Macron, have called on companies to implement the measures of the energy efficiency plan without delay.

What is the role of lighting in the energy efficiency plan?
In this context of energy savings, lighting is obviously an important lever.
Indeed, 80% of business lighting systems are energy-intensive and obsolete, and yet lighting represents a significant part of a company's energy expenses *.
Today, everyone agrees that switching to LED provides more qualitative, efficient, and economical lighting.
Indeed, according to the lighting union, "the total renovation of lighting could save us up to 25 TWh each year, equivalent to the consumption of Bordeaux and Marseille".

What are the advantages of LED?
The renovation of a lighting system today inevitably involves the installation of LED lighting, as their advantages are numerous compared to older lighting technologies:
✔️ LED consumes up to 7 times less energy
✔️ LED allows for optimization of maintenance costs thanks to an average LED lifespan that is 25 times longer
✔️ LED has a higher average luminous efficiency, thus promoting energy savings
✔️ LED complies with new standards and regulations in force
✔️ Existing management and control solutions allow, through dimming, programming, or detection, to further reduce energy consumption
Thus, replacing a traditional lighting system with an LED lighting system would reduce a building's energy consumption by 50% to 80% from the first month.
Relamping, the solution for making savings
To help its customers achieve maximum energy savings, CLAREO stands by your side to support you in your energy transition with unique services, such as relamping.
Also called LED relamping, relamping simply involves replacing the current luminaires in a building with new, more efficient LED technology lighting.
By using CLAREO, you will benefit from the support of a dedicated sales representative who will help you:
- Inventory all of your current lighting devices that need to be replaced, whether they use old technologies or even LED
- Find LED equivalents that are much less energy-intensive and more durable
- Monitor the progress of your project, from order to installation of the luminaires
- Manage the recycling of your end-of-life luminaires
Easy and quick to implement, relamping is a sustainable solution that will allow you to achieve real energy savings as soon as it is put in place.
Case study: an industrial warehouse
In this case study, we take the example of an industrial warehouse with an area of 1,000 m² and lighting usage for 12 hours per day.
What savings can be achieved with high-efficiency lighting?
CLAREO luminaires used to light the warehouse:
| Old technology | LED Technology | Savings achieved | |
| Electrical consumption / year | €10,188 | €3,753 | - €6,435 |
That's 63% energy savings per year!
What savings can be achieved with high-efficiency lighting and sensors?
CLAREO luminaires used to light the warehouse:
| Old technology | LED Technology | Savings achieved | |
| Electrical consumption / year | €10,188 | €2,064 | - €8,124 |
That's 80% energy savings per year!
Case study: an open space
In this case study, we take the example of an open-plan office with an area of 300 m² and lighting usage for 12 hours per day.
What savings can be achieved with high-efficiency lighting?
CLAREO luminaires used to light the open space:
| Old technology | LED Technology | Savings achieved | |
| Electrical consumption / year | €5,676 | €1,722 | - €3,954 |
That's 70% energy savings per year!
What savings can be achieved with high-efficiency lighting and sensors?
CLAREO luminaires used to light the warehouse:
