How we can help

From first sketch to specification, and on to commissioning.

Full system designs

LED luminaires, sensors, nodes, wireless lighting controls, internet gateways and remote monitoring.

Lighting design and calculations

Industrial, warehousing, office, education and healthcare schemes that balance function and comfort.

Payback calculations

Paybacks are often quicker than expected, largely because we don't overdesign or overprice the solution.

Detailed specifications

System designs, lighting calculations and luminaire specifications for major projects.

Bespoke luminaire design

Custom luminaires designed in-house in SolidWorks. We work from your brief and samples to a budget price, then lighting design in Relux and a BIM model on request.

Controls commissioning

Our own engineers commission every control platform on this site in-house, as well as other DALI systems such as Helvar: grouping, scenes, presence and daylight settings, and emergency testing. Every handover includes documentation and user training.

Leasing

Lease to Light.
Spread the cost.

Lease your LED lighting and controls upgrade with fixed monthly payments instead of a large upfront cost. We put the lease cost next to the projected energy saving in your payback calculation, so you can compare the two before you commit.

01

Survey and design

We survey the site and design the lighting and controls, without over-specifying.

02

Payback and lease quote

One proposal shows the energy saving, the payback and the fixed monthly cost of the lease.

03

Install and commission

We supply the scheme and commission the controls. Savings start from the day the new lighting goes live.

04

Fixed monthly payments

You pay a fixed amount over the agreed term. What happens at the end depends on the agreement.

Customer example

10-year savings with the lease£254,617.02£249,894.62

The shorter term means higher payments for 3 years but a bigger saving over 10 years. The longer term leaves more cash each month while the lease runs. Both start saving from day one. For comparison, buying the same scheme outright would have saved £255,275.66 over 10 years.

What the lease covered

  • Series 450 high bays: 192 standard output and 33 high output (225 luminaires)
  • Series 120 IP66 linear battens: 50 general and 64 task lighting (114 luminaires)
  • Installation to the agreed install document, plus controls commissioning

Monthly lease figures exclude VAT and are subject to a credit check. Final figures are agreed directly with the finance provider. The lease covers the listed products and installation only; anything outside that scope is charged separately. Energy savings are the projected figures for this customer's site, based on 3,120 operating hours a year at 15.4p per kWh. Yours will depend on your site, tariff and operating hours, and we'll calculate them for your project.

Why lease

  • +No large upfront spend, so cash and credit lines stay free for other projects.
  • +Fixed payments make budgeting simple across the term.
  • +The energy saving starts as soon as the LEDs are installed, rather than after a capital budget is approved.
  • +Can cover the whole scheme: luminaires, controls, installation and commissioning.

What to weigh up

  • −Total cost over the term is higher than paying outright, because finance has a cost.
  • −Leases are subject to credit approval and the finance provider's terms.
  • −Energy savings depend on use, tariffs and hours of operation, so they can vary from the projection.
  • −Tax and accounting treatment depends on your business. Check it with your accountant.

Common questions

Who provides the finance?
Leases are arranged through One.funding or other specialist finance providers. Neotec designs and supplies the scheme and acts only as an introducer; the finance provider offers the lease and purchase options and provides the agreement.
What can be included?
Typically the luminaires, the lighting controls, installation and commissioning. Bespoke luminaires may also be included; we'll confirm this at quote stage.
How long is the term?
Terms vary by agreement. We'll show you the options alongside the payback, so you can choose the one that suits your cash flow.
Do I own the lighting at the end?
It depends on the type of agreement. Some end with ownership; others offer an option to purchase or to extend. We'll explain the options before you sign.

Sustainable lighting solutions don't have to cost the earth.

We design solutions that avoid later value engineering or specification changes. We've completed thousands of projects, working closely with M&E consultants, energy consultants and electrical contractors.

Environmental compliance

WEEE compliance

We take responsibility for our lighting at the end of its life, not just at the start.

Neotec products are supplied in line with UK WEEE regulations and designed to comply with RoHS.

As a producer placing electrical and electronic equipment on the UK market, Neo Technologies Ltd is responsible for the collection and recycling of that equipment when it reaches the end of its life. We meet this responsibility as a member of Recolight, the WEEE compliance scheme that specialises in lighting. Recolight handles the collection, treatment and recycling of waste lighting on our behalf, so it's dealt with efficiently and in an environmentally responsible way.

Our products are designed to comply with the RoHS Regulations, which restrict hazardous substances in electrical equipment and so reduce the amount of hazardous waste entering the environment. Whether RoHS applies to a particular product depends on its function and on whether it falls within the scope of the legislation. Ask us if you need confirmation for a specific product.

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations 2013

Under the UK WEEE Regulations, Neo Technologies Ltd's producer responsibilities are discharged on its behalf by Recolight. Our WEEE registration number is WEE/MM0235AA.

Every Neotec product label carries the CE and UKCA marks and the crossed-out wheelie bin symbol. The bin symbol means the product shouldn't go in general waste: take it to a WEEE collection point. On Neotec projects, we can arrange the removal for you.

Part of our circular approach

Our retrofit solutions keep sound housings, fixings and ceilings in service. Only the old gear and light source come out, and they go to the correct WEEE recycling stream rather than the whole luminaire going in a skip.

Replacing old lighting?

We're happy to arrange the removal of WEEE on any of our projects, so old luminaires, gear and lamps go to the right recycling stream. Recolight also provides collection points and collection services for waste lighting across the UK: recolight.co.uk.
