Faced with the energy transition, relamping or replacing lighting with more energy-efficient technologies has become an essential solution for businesses. By replacing traditional light sources with LED or low-energy systems, relamping can significantly reduce energy consumption. With the support of the French Certificats d'Économies d'Énergie (CEE), companies can benefit from grants to finance all or part of their relamping project.
Relamping involves replacing old, energy-hungry lighting installations with modern solutions, such as LEDs, which consume much less energy while guaranteeing optimum lighting quality. This approach is particularly beneficial for businesses, which often have large surfaces to light and whose lighting requirements represent a significant proportion of their energy consumption.
Lighting can account for up to 40% of electricity consumption in commercial buildings. Relamping can significantly reduce this consumption, while at the same time improving workspace lighting. Companies adopting LED or low-energy solutions can make significant savings.
Certificats d'Économies d'Énergie (CEE) are a government scheme designed to encourage companies to reduce their energy consumption. CEEs are obtained by carrying out specific actions, recognized by the State for their positive impact on the environment, such as relamping. Thanks to CEE, companies can finance part of their relamping project and make this investment more affordable.
Relamping projects are eligible for EWCs because they significantly reduce lighting-related electricity consumption, thus promoting energy efficiency.
To obtain EECs for a relamping project, there are a number of steps to follow, to ensure that the project is compliant and that the energy saving certificates are obtained. Here are the main stages:
Before launching a relamping project, it is essential to carry out a lighting audit to assess current consumption and identify areas for optimization. This audit helps determine specific lighting requirements and the most appropriate solutions for maximizing energy savings.
To guarantee maximum energy savings, the choice of lighting technology is crucial. LED bulbs and tubes are the most efficient solutions for relamping, offering high-quality luminosity while consuming less energy.
The installation of new lighting solutions must be carried out by professionals to ensure optimum performance. This stage also includes setting luminaire parameters to adjust brightness according to the needs of different spaces.
After installation, follow-up is necessary to check that the anticipated energy savings have been achieved. This follow-up is crucial for obtaining Energy Savings Certificates (EECs), as it enables the results to be validated and the savings achieved to be accurately calculated.

Relamping, supported by CEE, offers many financial advantages for companies, making the investment more profitable.
CEE can be used to reduce the initial cost of a relamping project. Companies can therefore benefit from high-performance lighting solutions without having to bear the full cost, thereby improving their return on investment.
By switching to LED technologies, companies can reduce their lighting costs by 50% to 80%. These savings translate into significantly lower electricity bills, with a positive impact on operating costs.
LED solutions last longer than traditional lighting, reducing maintenance requirements and associated costs. Businesses therefore benefit from long-lasting, high-performance lighting that requires less intervention.
LED solutions provide uniform, pleasant light, reducing glare and improving visual comfort for employees. Quality lighting promotes productivity and contributes to general well-being.
Reliable, uniform lighting reduces the risk of accidents, especially in sensitive work areas. LED solutions offer brightness stability, contributing to a safer environment for employees.
By investing in relamping, companies demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. This reinforces their brand image with partners, customers and employees, who are increasingly attentive to ecological actions.
Relamping is in line with the objectives of the BACS decree and the tertiary sector decree, which aim to reduce energy consumption in tertiary sector buildings. By installing LED solutions, companies are actively contributing to the energy transition and complying with current regulations. Relamping therefore becomes a strategic lever for companies wishing to combine compliance and energy performance.
