How a Commercial LED Lighting Retrofit Pays for Itself

Home › Blog › How a Commercial LED Lighting Retrofit Pays for Itself

Lighting is often the largest controllable electrical cost for a small business. An LED Lighting Retrofit is the fastest payback upgrade available.

Where the savings come from

A 4-lamp fluorescent troffer uses about 128 watts. Its LED replacement uses 35 to 45. Multiply by every fixture and every hour the lights are on.

Warehouses and shops

Metal halide high bays use 400+ watts each. LED high bays use 150 and turn on instantly. Add occupancy sensors and savings climb further.

Offices and retail

Flat LED panels and retrofit kits fit existing ceilings with minimal disruption. We schedule after hours for San Jose offices and stores across the state.

Rebates

PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, LADWP and SMUD all run lighting rebate programs. We handle the paperwork.

Maintenance

LEDs last 50,000+ hours, which means fewer ladders, fewer service calls and safer facilities. Ask our Commercial Electrician team for a lighting audit: (833) 652-8933.
