Upgrading your lighting system isn’t something most people consider to spend from their budget, but what if upgrading your lighting will not break your bank? Yes, that’s true LED Retrofit will eliminate extra electricity bill and maintenance that will save your money annually. LED Retrofit replaces a traditional bulb/lamp with an LED equivalent, without replacing the existing fixtures or installation.
What is an LED Retrofit?
Retrofit LEDs utilize existing/current lighting fixtures whether through simple screw-in options that fit into your existing lighting equipment. New light fixtures can replace any lighting solutions using LED technology.
Like all traditional lighting, troffer fixtures have dimensions that allow for traditional bulbs to fit, heat to dissipate, drivers and wiring to sit, and anchor points for attaching or placing the installation in its desired location.
Because LED lighting is lighter, thinner, integrated, and puts out less heat than a traditional fixture—like troffer— it can require a kit to refit the older fixture correctly.
A Retrofit kit is an updated version of LED with an integrated connection allowing the new lamp to sit in the old fixture comfortably.
