LED lighting retrofits

Swapping old fluorescent, metal-halide and high-pressure sodium lighting for LED is one of the fastest paybacks in a commercial building. We audit what you have, model the savings, and install with minimal disruption.

Phased / after-hours

Where the savings come from

LED fixtures typically use far less energy than the fluorescent and HID lighting they replace, last much longer, and need almost no maintenance. Add occupancy and daylight sensors and the lights only run when they're needed.

  • Lighting audit and fixture-by-fixture count
  • Savings and payback estimate
  • Troffers, high-bays, wall packs, parking lot lights
  • Fixture replacement or retrofit kits
  • Occupancy, daylight and scheduled controls
  • Recycling of old lamps and ballasts

Incentives

Ontario's Save on Energy programs have offered incentives for qualifying commercial lighting upgrades. Program terms change, and pre-approval is often required before work starts — so we check eligibility first and help prepare the application. *Eligibility and amounts are set by the program, not by us.

Warehouses and industrial

High-bay LED with motion control is often the biggest single saving in a warehouse — and a big improvement in light quality for pickers and forklift operators. We work from lifts during off-shifts so operations keep moving.

Parking lots and exteriors

Pole lights, wall packs and canopy lights with photocells and dimming schedules: better visibility, less light spill, lower bills.

Questions

How much can an LED retrofit save?

Savings depend on what you're replacing and how many hours the lights run. Replacing fluorescent or HID lighting with LED plus controls commonly cuts lighting energy by more than half. We model it for your building before you commit.

Are there rebates for LED lighting in Ontario?

Save on Energy has offered incentives for qualifying commercial lighting retrofits. Programs change and often need pre-approval, so we check current eligibility before work starts.

Can you retrofit without shutting down the business?

Yes — we phase the work by area and schedule after-hours or weekend shifts so operations continue.
