You have heard the talk – come and see the action.
Circular Lighting Live is a conference and exhibition in central London focussed on developing a circular economy within our industry. Addressing the waste that comes with the CAT-A / CAT-B fit-out and strip-out cycle is a primary goal.
Our contribution is CAT-R.
CAT-R is the new office light fitting from NVC. It is a practical solution to two of our industry’s most pressing problems:
The waste that occurs every time a tenant rips out a CAT-A lighting scheme and replaces it with his own choice of CAT-B lighting. This is often repeated at the end of a tenancy, when a dilapidations clause requires the tenant to rip out the CAT-B lighting and reinstate the CAT-A lighting. It’s a repeating cycle that we all know needs to be stopped.
The unjustifiable cost of better CAT-B lighting. CAT-A lighting will have been selected by the landlord, usually on the criteria of low acquisition and installation costs. The tenant’s concerns will be low running costs, so a change to CAT-B lighting will be desirable, but only if a reasonable payback can be achieved. Sadly, the cost of CAT-B lighting in tenanted offices often cannot be recovered over the duration of the tenancy, so the tenant puts up with CAT-A lighting, with its high running costs.
CAT-R is designed on circular economy principles. It is assembled on-site from modules. Every module is snap-fit, plug and play (no tools required), and each one can be replaced, reused and redeployed to meet the varying needs of landlords and tenants.
Join us on stand N, right opposite the registration desk, at Circular Lighting Live. You will be able to touch and feel our CAT-R light fitting and talk to our experts.
