What Are LED Lighting Supply Retrofit Kits?

LED retrofit kits are designed to upgrade existing HID and fluorescent lighting without replacing the fixture. Depending on the type and style of the kit, LED retrofit kits replace the fixture's bulb and ballast with an equivalent, if not better, LED light source. Our kits use all the same LED Technology that you will find in brand-new LED Fixtures.

What are the Different Types of LED Lighting Supply Retrofit Kits?

There are many types produced by LED retrofit kit manufacturers. The most common kits include:

• replace metal halide bulbs. This is common, for example, in parking lot lighting.
• replace high-pressure sodium bulbs. This is common in street lighting options.
• replace existing fluorescent fixtures. This is common in existing office fluorescent fixtures.

We also have different sizes and mounting options, depending on the specific fixture.

What are the Benefits of Using LED Lighting Supply Retrofit Kits?

Here are a few reasons why LED Lighting Supply fixtures are more suitable for warehouses than HID Lighting and fluorescent lighting in commercial and industrial facilities:

• Energy Efficiency: LED Lighting Supply retrofits are energy efficient. They will reduce energy consumption by 50-90% over traditional lighting solutions reducing energy costs.
• Reduced Maintenance: Our retrofit kits will dramatically reduce maintenance costs with 10+ years of maintenance-free lighting.
• Nothing to Dispose: Unlike fluorescent tubes that contain mercury, there are no additional costs to dispose of our LED lights at end-of-life.
• Lighting Controls: LED Lighting Supply LED retrofits work well with motion sensors. Lights are only at full power when needed. These are perfect for unoccupied areas of the warehouse.
• Ready when you are: Our retrofit kits are instant on. There is - no waiting for lights to achieve full power.
• Better Quality Lighting: Our LED retrofit kits provide consistent high-quality lighting and produce no annoying humming or flickering.
• Voltage Options: You can choose from standard voltage 100-277V or high voltage 277-480V. Drivers automatically adjust to the incoming voltage.
• Life Expectancy: Our kits will last for many years with zero if any, maintenance.
• Multiple Color temperature options: we have options including warm white (4000k) and cool white light (5000k).
• Easy Installation: Our kits are easy to install. For a licensed electrician, it's no more difficult than lamp and ballast replacements.

LED Retrofit Kits FAQs

Where Does It Make Sense to Use Retrofit Kits?

There are many reasons to use retrofit kits; the most common is an LED retrofit in an existing fixture. This is not always possible or practical; in this case, the existing fixture would need to be replaced entirely.

• The fixture may be unique, expensive, and hard to replace.
• Changing out a fixture may require permitting or expensive engineering costs.

In these cases, retrofitting is a great option.

What are the Best LED Lighting Supply Retrofit Kits?

We have several LED retrofit options and this depends on the light fixtures' size, type, and wattage.

• We have shoebox retrofit kits designed specifically for parking lot lights.
• For post-top lights, we offer post-top retrofit bulbs and lamps.
• We have a generic set of metal halide retrofit kits that fit into many different types of fixtures.
• We offer LED tubes to replace fluorescent tubes. Some allow you to use the existing ballast, others allow you to bypass existing ballasts.

Do Metal Halide LED retrofit kits work with photocells?

Our LED Retrofit Kits work well with photocells. If the fixture you are retrofitting already has a photocell, keep it. It will still work when you convert over to LED.

How Energy Efficient Are Retrofit Kits?

LED retrofit kits are extremely efficient, on par with the most efficient new light fixtures. Our shoebox retrofit kits operate at 165 lumens/watt. Many options on the market are even DLC-approved LED retrofit kits to allow for maximum rebates due to their high efficiency.

How Easy Is it to Install LED Light Retrofit Kits?

We provide complete instructions, but LED lighting retrofit kits should be thought of as bulb and ballast replacements. The kits are designed to replace the traditional bulb with an LED equivalent and ballast with an LED driver. We highly recommend you use a licensed electrician.

Do I Need a Ground Wire for Commercial LED Retrofit Kits?

Most LED drivers have 3 wires: line, neutral, and ground.
