A Swiss luminaire manufacturer is launching an authorised partner programme, enabling electricians to become certified to maintain, repair and upgrade its luminaires throughout their lifecycle.
Lucerne-based Perdix says it believes that the responsibility of the brand does not end with manufacturing but continues long after installation.
It designs its light to be modular and allows for easy replacement of spare parts, such as LED modules, which it stores for long-term access.
‘In this way, we extend the lifespan of the lights, reduce waste and conserve resources’ says Perdix.
The company offers a five-year guarantee as well as 20-year availability guarantee for modular spare parts. Every component has been deliberately positioned to remain accessible. Drivers, electronic components and other serviceable parts are designed to be replaceable wherever possible.
Perdix also promises to begin sharing more than finished products. It says it will open the doors behind the design process, revealing how its luminaires are engineered, why they are constructed in the way they are and how every improvement benefits architects, electricians, facility managers and building owners.
The new partner programme is intended to put this philosophy into practice by creating a network of trained contractors who can carry out servicing and upgrades rather than simply replacing failed fittings. Certified partners will be able to work directly with Perdix’s technical information and spare-parts system, helping to keep luminaires in service for longer.
This approach could also reduce the environmental impact associated with replacing complete luminaires when only one component has failed or become obsolete. As lighting technology develops, the ability to upgrade individual components rather than discard an entire fitting becomes increasingly important.
For building owners and facilities managers, the programme offers a route to maintaining existing lighting assets while avoiding unnecessary replacement costs. For electricians, it creates a new role in the circular economy: keeping products working, rather than simply installing new ones.
