Join the 'Blue-Whites' and be enchanted by the magic of FC Den Bosch and the lighting of Firefly

Giel Baaij "We are reducing energy consumption by almost 70%"

The FC Den Bosch stadium now shines brighter than ever before, thanks to the new partnership with Firefly, the club's official LED lighting partner. Giel Baaij, Commercial Manager at FC Den Bosch, is delighted with the benefits of this partnership. "Firefly's LED lighting not only saves energy, but also offers flexibility with dimming options, resulting in significant cost savings and an improved playing experience for players and fans."

FC Den Bosch uses Light as a Service

FC Den Bosch has opted for 'Light as a Service'. This means that they do not purchase lighting products, but use a complete service. For a fixed monthly fee, Firefly takes care of everything for FC Den Bosch, including service and maintenance. This includes not only the lighting in the masts themselves, but also under the roof edge, which provides an extra show effect.

Light as a Service immediately generates money

FC Den Bosch pays a clear and fixed monthly fee for the smartest lighting on the market. Firefly's 'Light as a Service' solution guarantees that the savings on energy costs are always greater than the costs of Light as a Service.

 

"For a fixed amount, without investment, completely unburdened. That's service!"

Giel Baaij, Commercial Manager - FC Den Bosch

Difference between BOSA and Light as a Service

Bosa (Construction Impulse Education Housing and Sports Facilities):

  • With Bosa you buy lighting for sports facilities, for example.
  • You receive a subsidy from the government to compensate for part of the costs of the lighting.
  • The subsidy can cover a percentage of the total costs, but you must pay part of the costs yourself. The maximum subsidy is 40%.
  • In addition to the purchase, you as an association are responsible for the service and maintenance costs.

Light as a Service (Laas):

  • With Light as a Service you do not buy lighting equipment. Instead, you rent the lighting from Firefly.
  • You pay a monthly fee for the use of the lighting instead of investing in advance.
  • Because you do not actually buy the lighting, you are not eligible for the Bosa subsidy, but you also do not have to pay a large part of the costs yourself.
  • Service, maintenance and warranty are completely unburdened and included in the monthly fee.
