Ecobulb now offers $0 upfront Payment Plans for LED lighting projects

Businesses and schools across New Zealand can now access affordable LED lighting upgrades with no upfront costs, thanks to Ecobulb’s recent accreditation with specialist funding provider Smart Ease.

LED lighting upgrades can deliver significant savings on energy bills, but the initial capital investment can often hold organisations back.

With a Smart Ease Payment Plan, Ecobulb customers can spread payments over an agreed term, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of modern, energy-efficient lighting without the barrier of upfront costs.

How it works

A Smart Ease Payment Plan works much like a mobile phone plan.

Customers pay nothing upfront and pay fixed monthly instalments over a term tailored to their needs.

In most cases, the savings from reduced energy consumption exceed the repayments, meaning projects can be cash-flow positive from day one.

The minimum project size is $3,000.

Key benefits include:

·       $0 upfront costs – get started immediately!

·       Positive cash flow – savings may exceed repayments

·       Flexible terms – tailored to suit each business or school

·       Fast turnaround - Four-minute online application and instant approval for transactions up to $150,000.*

A proven solution

One large high school had poor lighting and high-power bills but didn’t have the $350,000 available to upgrade it.

By using a five-year Payment Plan, the school will pay nothing upfront and will be cash-flow positive from the first month. Students and staff will enjoy brighter, more efficient lighting while the school benefits from lower power bills.

The process is simple

Site assessment – Ecobulb reviews your lighting and provides a quote with projected energy savings.

Funding option – If upfront capital is a challenge, Ecobulb can make a Smart Ease Payment Plan available.

Approval – Credit application and funding agreement are reviewed and signed.

Installation – Ecobulb installs your new LED lighting.

Savings – Enjoy lower energy bills and improved cash flow from day one.
