What is a Lighting Retrofit?
An LED lighting retrofit is a 1-for-1 lighting replacement. A retrofit is a popular choice for those looking to improve the lighting in interior spaces and residential applications. That is because with a retrofit job, you are utilizing an existing fixture and upgrade its internal components. A retrofit also saves energy and improves the light output. And, for the most part, it is cheaper than overhauling and buying new lighting fixtures for a certain area, since you are using existing fixtures and framework.
Considerations on LED Lighting Retrofits
When retrofitting with LED lighting, it is important to understand that LEDs operate differently compared to most traditional lighting solutions. Here are some of the main considerations when it comes down to our LED lighting retrofit services.
Fixtures vs Luminaries
Fixtures and luminaries refer to different aspects of your lighting setup. If you want to keep your existing fixtures, then your choices for compatible LED bulb replacements may be somewhat limited. But if you plan to replace the light source and the fixture, then you will have a wider range of options available to you. Most LEDs are designed to be compatible with standard fixtures.
Dimming Compatibility
The hardware used for dimming LED lights is typically not compatible with traditional lighting solutions. When you switch to LED lighting, you will likely need LED-specific dimmers to complement the new LED bulbs in use. By doing so, you are ensuring smooth and efficient dimming abilities.
Do I Have to Replace My Poles?
No, you do not have to replace your poles when retrofitting to LED lighting. When retrofitting you are not required to get new poles, but you may want to consider purchasing new poles if your current poles are compromised or aged in some way. For example, the pole may be rusting, damaged beyond repair, or their structural integrity is unreliable. In this case, replacement would be recommended, but this is not too common. For many lighting retrofit projects, there are kit options you can buy that will fit into your existing structure. Our staff will help you make the smart choices.
