NVC Lighting to Exhibit at Circular Lighting Live 2025

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.
