Two per cent of a unit, and it comes back as three to five.
Lighting and control land at roughly two per cent of an apartment's price. The market reads them back at three to five per cent of appraised value, and buyers remember the evening in the show apartment. That arithmetic works — but we are three people, so we take one development at a time and we start by equipping the show apartment at our own cost.
What we will not pretend about.
We are a small manufacturer with a deliberately narrow line. A development is a twelve-to-eighteen-month conversation and we do not have a sales floor to run it, so we would rather tell you our real capacity now than discover it together at second fix.
One development at a time
Not a portfolio strategy. If we are committed elsewhere we will say so and give you a date rather than take the job and stretch.
Show apartment first, always
We equip one unit at our own cost. You walk it after dark before any decision about the rest, and if the answer is no, it cost you nothing.
Typical layouts, not bespoke units
Four to six layouts cover a whole building. That is what makes the number hold and what makes it deliverable by a small team.
Our line stops at the light
Fittings, keys, design, commissioning. Cabling, CCTV, networks, AV and alarms are not ours and we will not bid for them.
Why light is the cheapest thing on the spec that a buyer remembers.
| Cost of lighting and control | ~2% of unit price | On a €200,000 apartment, roughly €4,000 at the base package. |
| Read back on value | 3–5% | Published market analysis, not our promise. Substitute your own unit price and the argument survives it. |
| Effect on the sales campaign | Absorption rate | The evening in the show apartment is the thing a buyer describes to their spouse in the car. |
| Design hours per building | 4–6 layouts | Because the same room repeats. One calculation per layout, not one per unit. |
Numbers above are the model, not a quotation. Give us the unit mix and the layouts and we will replace every one of them with a real figure.
Where the two per cent comes from.
Keys Core exists for this audience specifically. Below is a real 60 m² layout at the two prices published on the prices page — no volume discount applied, so the number can only improve.
| Lighting, 22 fittings | €2,090 | At €95 per recessed unit. One batch for the phase, colour held inside a 3-step ellipse. |
| Keys Core, 6 positions | €540 | Four keys per plate, legends engraved per layout rather than per unit. |
| Board, DALI and Matter bridge | €900 | Assembled and tested here, per-address DALI rather than broadcast. |
| Design, amortised | €120 | One calculation per layout across the repeats, not one per apartment. |
| Per unit, hardware and design | ≈ €3,650 | On a €200,000 apartment that is 1.8 per cent. Substitute your own unit price. |
The design fee is credited against supply here too — per layout, not per unit. Take the drawings and build with your own contractor if you prefer; they are paid for and yours.
Batch, warranty, spares.
One batch, measured
The whole development ordered inside a 3-step MacAdam ellipse, Ra and R9 measured on your batch, and the batch number recorded per building.
Five years, ten years of spares
On our fittings and keys. Integrated third-party equipment carries the manufacturer's own term, stated per line in the schedule.
Phased against handover
Per building or per floor, so your site is not storing three hundred boxes it cannot install yet, and spares are reserved to the property.

Show apartment, our cost
One unit equipped and commissioned by us. You walk it after dark before committing to anything at all.
Layouts, not units
Four to six typical layouts calculated, circuit schedules issued, families dropped into your model.
One batch, measured
Whole phase in a single order, colour held inside a 3-step ellipse, spares reserved to the property.
Commissioning per tranche
Scenes set on site after dark per handover tranche, with a one-page resident guide per apartment.
“Who answers if the light is from one supplier and the control from another?”
Ask it of every bid you receive, including ours. The answer is usually a shrug and a warranty folder with four names in it — and at that point the person who answers is you.
Send the unit mix and the layouts.
We will come back with a real per-unit number and an honest date, or we will tell you we are committed and when we are free.
