WHAT IS A RETROFIT

Upgrade Your Lighting. Keep Your Infrastructure.

A retrofit replaces lamps and drivers inside existing fixture housings — without tearing out ceilings, rewiring circuits, or shutting down operations.

A commercial LED retrofit replaces the light sources and drivers inside your existing fixtures without major construction. It's the fastest, most cost-effective path from legacy lighting to modern LED performance.

Unlike a full fixture replacement, retrofitting preserves your existing housing while dramatically improving light output, energy consumption, and maintenance burden. Most commercial facilities recoup the investment within 12–24 months through reduced utility bills alone.

  • No major construction or ceiling work required
  • Installations completed on your schedule — nights, weekends, or phased
  • Compatible with fluorescent, HID, metal halide, and incandescent systems
  • Immediate reduction in kWh consumption from day one
  • Utility rebates offset 20–40% of total project cost

COMMON QUESTIONS

FAQ

What is the difference between a retrofit and a full fixture replacement?
A retrofit upgrades components inside your existing fixture housings — replacing ballasts, lamps, and drivers with LED technology. A full replacement removes the entire fixture. Retrofitting is faster, less expensive, and causes less disruption. It's appropriate for most commercial applications unless fixtures are structurally damaged.
Will a retrofit disrupt my business operations?
Not significantly. We plan all installations around your operating schedule. Most commercial retrofits are completed zone-by-zone during off-hours, nights, or weekends. Our crews work efficiently and leave each area clean and fully lit before moving on.
How much can I save on my energy bill?
Most commercial facilities see 40–70% reduction in lighting-related energy costs after switching to LED. The exact figure depends on your current fixture types, operating hours, and utility rates. Our free site audit includes a detailed savings projection specific to your facility.
Are utility rebates available for commercial LED retrofits?
Yes. Most utilities offer rebates for DLC-qualified LED upgrades that typically offset 20–40% of total project cost. We handle the entire rebate process on your behalf. See our LED Rebates page for details.
What warranty comes with the installation?
We specify DLC-listed products and back every installation with a 10-year fixture warranty. Ongoing maintenance contracts provide additional coverage including rapid-response service post-installation.
