LED parking lot retrofit kits are modular upgrade solutions installed within existing shoebox-style light fixtures commonly found in outdoor parking areas. These kits feature LED modules and drivers that fit directly into the original fixture housing, maintaining the exterior appearance while updating the internal components. Typical installation sites include open parking lots, exterior walkways, and perimeter lighting around retail centers, office complexes, and service facilities.
As part of our Commercial & Industrial Lighting Solutions, these retrofit kits are suited for environments where pole-mounted lighting systems are already in place and a fixture replacement is not desired. Real-world applications often include parking structures, dealership lots, and exterior site lighting for warehouses or municipal properties, where the physical layout relies on existing poles and fixture housings.

What are LED Shoebox Retrofit Kits / Parking Lot LED Retrofit Kits?
LED shoebox retrofit kits upgrade existing parking lot fixtures to efficient LED systems without full fixture replacement. These kits include LED modules with integrated heat sinks and compatible drivers that fit inside your current shoebox light fixtures. The LED module replaces the old HID lamp, and the driver replaces the magnetic ballast. LED parking lot retrofit kits are a cost-effective solution for upgrading your outdoor lighting without the expense of new fixtures.
We recommend these retrofit kits for facilities upgrading from 250-watt, 400-watt, or 1000-watt metal halide systems. Energy use typically drops by 60-70% while providing better light quality and improved color rendering index (CRI). Most kits support standard 120-277V input voltage, with drivers that automatically adjust to your building's electrical system. Choosing the right parking lot retrofit kit ensures optimal performance and energy savings for your property.
Step-by-Step Installation Process
Retrofitting starts with disconnecting power and removing the reflector, HID lamp, ballast, and lamp socket, leaving an empty fixture housing for the LED upgrade. Using a LED retrofit kit streamlines this process and helps ensure compatibility with your existing fixtures.
Mount the new LED driver where the old ballast was, using existing hardware. Attach the LED plate assembly to the original mounting points. Quick-connect wiring links the driver to the LED, and the driver's input wires connect where the ballast was previously wired. Our LED parking lot retrofit solutions are designed for straightforward installation and reliable operation.
Most installations take 30-45 minutes per fixture for experienced technicians. Quality drivers accept the full 120-277V range common in commercial settings. Check fixture gaskets and seals during installation to maintain weather protection.
Expected Lifespan and Performance
When installed in weatherproof housings, our retrofit kits offer lifespans comparable to complete LED fixtures. Under typical parking lot conditions, expect 50,000+ hour lifespans with minimal lumen loss over the first decade.
Maintaining the fixture's waterproof integrity after installation is essential. Effective heat management is also important since the retrofit operates within the original housing. Always remove the fixture's reflector before installing the retrofit kit.
Safety and Performance Certifications
Our fixtures are certified with DLC Premium (energy efficiency and rebate eligibility), UL Listed (electrical safety), and ETL Listed (product safety), depending on the model. These certifications help ensure safety, performance, and may qualify your project for utility rebates and tax incentives. DLC Premium certification meets the highest efficiency standards for maximum rebate eligibility.
Warranty and Support
All our lights include at least a 5-year warranty, with USA-based support. Our experienced team understands the importance of reliable lighting and will work quickly to resolve any warranty issues.
