Upgrade without replacing fixtures

LED Retrofits

LED retrofit kits allow you to upgrade to LED technology using your existing fixture housings. This approach dramatically reduces installation costs and project timeline while still delivering 50–70% energy savings.

LED retrofit kits allow businesses to transition to LED technology without replacing entire fixture assemblies. By swapping just the LED driver, board, and lens inside an existing fixture housing, retrofit kits deliver 50–70% energy savings at a fraction of full replacement cost. We handle drop-in tube replacements for linear fluorescent, troffer retrofit kits for recessed fixtures, and high-bay retrofit kits for existing metal halide housings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an LED retrofit kit and when is it the right choice?

A retrofit kit replaces only the lamp, driver, and internal components of an existing fixture — keeping the housing intact. It's the right choice when the housing is in good condition, when budget is limited, or when full fixture replacement would require significant structural work. Retrofit kits typically cost 40–60% less than full fixture replacement.

Can you retrofit any existing fixture to LED?

Most common commercial fixture types — troffers, high-bays, strip lights, and wall packs — have retrofit kit options. We assess your existing housings during the site visit to confirm compatibility and identify any cases where full replacement is a better long-term investment.

How do retrofit savings compare to full fixture replacement?

Both approaches deliver similar energy savings percentages (50–70%). The difference is upfront cost: retrofits cost less to install, but full replacements typically come with longer warranties (10 years vs. 5 years) and may qualify for higher utility rebates since they are listed as complete fixtures.

What is a ballast bypass and when is it needed?

A ballast bypass (also called a direct-wire installation) removes the existing fluorescent ballast and wires the LED tube directly to line voltage. It's recommended when existing ballasts are end-of-life or incompatible with LED tubes. Ballast bypass installations are more reliable long-term and avoid future ballast replacement costs.
