    Stand-alone lighting solution is a term often used with systems that are designed to operate independently and in a simple way. The aim of this thesis is to analyse the benefits that intelligent stand-alone lighting solutions can offer to various stakeholders. In addition to discussing the technology and definition of stand-alone solutions, three concepts of a Finnish company Helvar are introduced and compared to other competing products on the market. Energy consumption of one concept in five case installations in offices and a lecture hall is analysed and clear savings are found. The measurability of ease of use is discussed and easyness as a benefit is evaluated with the three concepts. To gather input and feedback from professionals and stakeholders themselves, face-to-face and email interviews were made and results are analysed and presented. The overall response to the stand-alone solutions was good, and clear benefits and challenges were acknowledged and improvement ideas suggested. When conducting a survey among the interviewees, reliability, ease of use and energy efficiency were raised to the lighting control factors that are considered the most important.
