Retrofitting: The Smarter Way For Your Business

Retrofitting is often done during renovations or when upgrading a space to improve aesthetic and/or energy efficiency. Existing fixtures that are in good working order can have the traditional lighting replaced with and LED counterpart. Many settings like Schools, Offices, Retail and Medical facilities currently use fluorescent tube lighting, which can be retrofitted with an LED tube. Switch Lighting recommends bypassing the ballast in these traditional fixtures, which reduces the power consumption and minimizes additional components that could fail.

Retrofit vs New Fixtures: Which to Choose?

As a business owner many decisions can be assisted by a pros and cons list. The comparison between retrofitting an existing fixture or installing a new fixture has its own positive and negative options. Retrofitting is often the more cost-effective measure, in the short term that is, with the up-front costs being lower. However, it’s important to take into consideration the age and condition of the existing fixture prior to installing a retrofit option. If the fixture fails in less time than the replacement product, it’s best to replace the entire fixture initially. New Fixtures can also offer a better aesthetic impression, so if the idea is to improve the space’s overall appearance, this may be the better option.

TESTIMONIALS

“I had our showroom lights replaced with the new LED tubes vs the old style fluorescent tubes. What a difference in the light level. Worth every cent when really viewing the product adds to the saleability of it.

Job done quickly and right on time. The installer was Aaron. He went absolutely beyond the task at hand to get the job done for us. He was awesome! Thank you."

"Anytime we were contacted by a representative of Switch Lighting they were extremely professional and respectful to our needs.

Either through email or in person, the employees and more recently James Walls, were able to make appropriate suggestions, adjustments or updates to our requests. Regarding the replacement and installation of ALL the light fixtures in our building, they chose an excellent electrician to partner with. ADL Electric was very accommodating and very professional. The electrician doing the work in our building (Mike) was very knowledgeable and would take the time to answer any question we had during the installation process. The work was done within the specified time and they disposed of all the packaging/garbage and cleaned up our floors after themselves."

"Fantastic selection, excellent warranty, great customer service"

The Future of Retrofitting LED Lights

The LED retrofit market is expected to record its highest compound annual growth rate by 2027, meaning the market for this type of product is set to explode in the coming years. Carbon footprint reduction, cost savings and decreased energy consumption are all major factors of why companies may decide to take action with their lighting. Retrofitting installations are less disruptive than full fixture overhauls, and provide the same lighting benefits.

Frequently Asked
Quesions

What are the differences between indoor and outdoor commercial LED lights?

While there are no major differences between the lights, there is a substantial difference in the quality of the casing and protection. Outdoor systems have casings that protect against extreme weather changes, such as snow, wind and heat, to guarantee they work efficiently, while indoor lights don’t.

What are the benefits of outdoor commercial LED lights?

Outdoor commercial LED lights offer very similar benefits to indoor LED lights, such as lower utility bills, reduced carbon emissions, less waste from the disposal of burnt-out bulbs and more savings. There is also the aesthetic appeal of LED lights, which with flexible colours and tones, allows for greater atmospheric changes.

What about maintaining LED lighting systems?

Thanks to the durability of the lights itself, coupled with the high-quality solutions we provide, maintaining your LED lighting systems is easy and simple. Minimal effort is required, barring annual electricity checks. Enjoy a safer, more durable lighting system with us.
