Light-as-a-Service – LED lighting retrofit at the M.A.X. Group

With more than 150 employees across four dealership locations, the M.A.X. Group stands for service, quality, and customer proximity in the automotive industry. To meet the high demands of premium showrooms and workshop lighting, the company opted for an upgrade to GLT LED TUBES “Made in Germany” – implemented under the flexible GLT Rent Light-as-a-Service model.

The Challenge

The outdated T5 and T8 fluorescent tubes caused high energy consumption, required frequent maintenance, and no longer met modern standards for quality and safety in showrooms and workshops. A lighting solution was needed that would reduce operating costs, be sustainable, and enhance the presentation of high-end vehicles.

The Solution – LED Retrofit with the GLT LED TUBE

Key advantages of our LED retrofit for the M.A.X. Group dealerships:

  • Conversion to 1,695 GLT LED TUBES “Made in Germany” – efficient 1:1 retrofit installation during ongoing operations, without interruptions or structural modifications.
  • Implemented through the GLT Rent Light-as-a-Service model – renting instead of buying modern LED lighting, with no capital investment required.
  • Long-lasting, IEC/EN 62776-compliant, and maintenance-free LED tubes – ideal for showroom and workshop environments.
  • Premium light quality that enhances vehicle presentation and underlines the brand’s high standards.
  • Sustainable, energy-efficient lighting solution with immediate cost savings and a reduced environmental footprint.
