Keep the Fixtures, Upgrade the Lights

At HyLite LED Lighting, we know the importance of modernizing lighting systems to meet today’s energy efficiency and performance standards. Retrofitting, in the context of lighting, refers to upgrading existing lighting fixtures or systems with new technology, specifically LED products, without completely replacing the foundational lighting infrastructure.

While widespread, traditional lighting systems such as incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent lamps fall short in terms of energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact compared to modern LED technology.

By choosing to retrofit with LED solutions, facilities can harness the benefits of enhanced lighting quality, significant reductions in energy consumption, and extended lifespan, all while minimizing installation disruptions and leveraging existing fixtures.

Cost Analysis of Retrofitting vs. New Installations

The financial implications of retrofitting versus installing entirely new systems play a crucial role when considering upgrading to energy-efficient lighting. Here is a cost analysis that highlights the benefits of choosing HyLite LED products for retrofitting existing lighting infrastructures:

• Initial Costs: Retrofitting with HyLite LED products generally requires a lower upfront investment than purchasing and installing completely new lighting systems. This is because retrofitting utilizes existing fixtures and wiring, reducing the need for extensive labor and material expenses.
• Long-term Savings: LEDs dramatically reduce energy consumption and have a significantly longer lifespan than traditional lighting systems. This leads to substantial savings over time in energy bills and maintenance and replacement costs, as LEDs rarely need to be replaced and require minimal upkeep.

Reduce Carbon Footprint

Adopting energy-efficient LED lighting offers a significant opportunity to reduce carbon emissions and minimize environmental impact. By retrofitting existing fixtures with HyLite LED products, businesses can effectively decrease their carbon footprint by consuming less energy and generating less waste.

Retrofitting avoids discarding old fixtures, which often end up in landfills, contributing to pollution and resource depletion.

Additionally, the ease of installation associated with retrofitting further enhances its environmental benefits, as it requires fewer resources and minimizes disruption compared to installing entirely new lighting systems.

Real Life Example

When Spartanburg County School District Two needed to upgrade the lighting in its gymnasiums, it turned to HyLite LED’s innovative solutions for help. The district selected four gyms, which were already equipped with outdated high bay fixtures and depreciated compact fluorescent lamps. Retrofitting these spaces with HyLite LED’s Omni-Cob lamps proved to be a game-changer.

Not only did the new lighting dramatically enhance visibility, but it also cut energy consumption by half. By utilizing the existing fixtures, the district saved significantly on upfront costs. The long-lasting nature of the Omni-Cob lamps, with a lifespan of up to 60,000 hours, means they will continue to shine bright for years to come, all while keeping maintenance costs to a minimum.
