Knowing What You Have

If your lighting is dated and requires expensive service calls, then it's a good time to think about an LED lighting retrofit. It's also important to know which components of your old lighting are being discontinued by the Department of Energy such as T12 lamps and some T8 lamps. Supply for certain types of lamps and ballasts will become a challenge. Don't worry! We've got you covered.

Learn About LEDs

LEDs are a semiconductor light source that offer exceptional lighting quality and energy savings. They do not use a lighting ballast and therefore eliminate expensive service calls. LEDs operate at cool temperatures, are incredibly durable, and last over 3x longer than incandescents. They're the light source of the future and will soon be the preferred lighting choice.

Get Comfortable With The Numbers

After analyzing your existing lighting, we will propose the LED lighting equivalent. We'll highlight the energy usage before and after the proposed LED retrofit focusing on energy savings and maintenance savings. In fact, in most cases, you will see payback periods of less than 3 years on the money you invested. That's pretty hard to pass up, right?

Companies and their employees can benefit from efficient and effective office lighting. Minimizing glare on screens, elimination of buzzing and/or flickering fixtures, low lighting contrasts around workstations and energy cost reduction are just a few of the key requirements.

Self Storage Lighting

Proper lighting and security cameras are the two biggest deterrents to crime at self-storage facilities. Whereas, proper lighting and cleanliness are the two biggest factors that are used by customers when rating a self-storage facility. The importance of good lighting at self-storage properties cannot be understated.

Apartment Buildings

Make your residents feel safe and at home with LED lighting updates that save you money. Through a retrofit of all hallways, common spaces and exterior pathways, you will be cutting down your electric bill and offering an enhanced living environment for renters.

Schools & Universities

Areas for learning will be improved, hallways and dark areas will be brighter and your parking areas will be safer. LEDs on school campuses will enhance the entire experience.

Parking Structure Lighting

High light quality in parking areas amounts to safety for both drivers and pedestrians. Clearly see where you are going as you look for parking or try to find where you parked.

Retail & Grocery

LED energy-efficient store lighting greatly improves the customer’s grocery and retail experience by accentuating products and creating a shopper-friendly atmosphere. Reduce your electric usage demand by over 50% and pass those savings along to keep shoppers coming back.

Outside Lighting

Illuminate your building exterior, landscaping features or interior driveways with long life LED lighting. The hassle of lighting service calls will be a thing of the past.

Gas Stations & Convenience Stores

Make your customers feel safe when they stop to fill their tanks. Utilizing LED lamps that require no warm up time, require no maintenance and use very little energy will go a long way to increase your business’ curb appeal.

From Audit To Installation...How It Works

Our team handles everything from beginning to end so that you're property becomes energy efficient in no time.

Facility Evaluation and Lighting Audit

The first step to modernizing your lighting starts by having one of our certified electricians visit your property. We have to know exactly what you have in place and use that as the base case. If you should want additional area lighting or reductions made to the current lighting, now is the time to let us know. The goal in this step is to assemble an accurate quantity count of what’s to be included in your retrofit.

Savings Analysis and Project Design

With the data from the Facility Evaluation and Lighting Audit in hand, we look at each specific area of your project to determine our recommendations for LED lighting replacements. Typically we base these selections on replacing the old lighting with the lumen equivalent LED lighting. Here again, the customer is able to have their input if something different than what’s in place is required.

Establishing Incentive Eligibility

With the completed LED retrofit materials list, we look closely at both the plug-and-play and direct wire options for installation. Depending on your local incentives sometimes one scenario makes better sense than the other. We present both cases to the customer and describe the attributes of each scenario. Bear in mind that the maintenance free aspect of the direct wire scenario is often tough to beat.

Project Estimate and Schedule

The overall cost of the LED retrofit is ready to be delivered to the customer. Along with that we will let you know when we anticipate to begin the work and how long it will take to complete. We move fast, so before you know it, you will have a facility with modern lighting. You will also be surprised how fast this new system will pay for itself. In most cases, payback is under 3 years.

Project Completion

Our workmanship is guaranteed for life which means you can rest easy knowing that should there be any problems with what we have installed, we will be there to fix it. Our crews are professional and will build your project from start to finish without any gaps. Once the materials show up on site, so will the Sunnect Lighting crew.

Warranty Service

If materials show up to the project site that don’t function properly or if something fails later during normal operations, we are here to help fix the problem. Simply call us and we will send out a technician who will quickly determine what the problem is. If it turns out to be a warranty related issue, we will fix the problem and have you back up and running in no time.

Why Upgrade From Fluorescents To LED Lighting?

After an LED retrofit, you will see your newly lit areas in a way that you have never seen them before. It's like seeing things in high definition for the first time!

Reduce Energy Use

LEDs are more energy efficient than traditional fluorescent lighting. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, LEDs can be up to 45% more efficient.

Operational Savings

LED lights have much longer life spans than traditional fluorescents, reducing your replacement and maintenance costs. The typical, expected useful life is over 50,000 hours. By incorporating dimming controls, you can extend the life span even further and increase savings.

Improve Light Quality

LEDs produce an even, bright light which can improve the comfort and productivity of your employees.

Increased Durability

LEDs are much less fragile than fluorescents and therefore less prone to breakage. Plus, they contain no mercury which simplifies the disposal process.

Maintenance Savings

Switching to LEDs means that your lighting system is now free of ballasts. All of the service calls related to ballasts will become a thing of the past.

Reduction in AC Load

With very low operating temperatures and no heat generating ballasts, the use of LEDs will reduce your AC load significantly, especially in the warmer regions of the U.S.

Old Lights Prohibited

US Congress has enacted legislation to prohibit the manufacture of T12 lamps, some T8 lamps, incandescent lamps and other inefficient technologies as a method of moving energy consumers to be more efficient.

After the Sunnect Lighting LED retrofit, this property has new and consistent lighting along with a complete modernization of emergency lights, hallway timers and exit lights.

Melrose – Commercial LED Retrofit

Over the course of many years, older buildings end up with a mixed bag when it comes to lighting. Different products are used by different contractors and often times maintenance become a real issue. After the Sunnect Lighting LED retrofit, this property has new and consistent lighting along with a complete modernization of emergency lights, hallway timers and exit lights.

Baldwin Villa Plaza – Apartment LED Retrofit

Lighting within an apartment building can drastically change the ambiance. Common areas such as the lobby, hallways and laundry facilities take on an entirely different feeling when the lighting is yellow and dim versus bright and cool. At Baldwin Villa Plaza it was important to update all common area lighting to improve visibility, safety and the overall feeling of the space.

Westside Jewish Center Apartments – LED Retrofit

Old lighting tends to have a dim, yellow tone which can drag down the energy of a space. That’s why it was so important to update the Westside Jewish Center Apartment building to fresh, clean lighting. The common areas such as the dining hall, lobby and hallways had not been updated in decades. With an LED retrofit the common spaces now have a lighter, brighter and safer feeling making for happy residents.

Park Pacific Tower Apartments

This high-rise residence in the heart of Long Beach, California was looking to improve light quality while simultaneously reducing their energy and maintenance bills. Through a full LED retrofit of all common spaces, Park Pacific Tower Apartments decreased their monthly overheads while providing a better ambiance to their residence.

Questions We Hear Most Often

What are lumens?

A lumen is a unit that measures luminous flux, or the total amount of visible light emitted by a source. The lumen can be thought of as a measure of the total amount of visible light emitted. For example, a standard 100 watt incandescent bulb emits about 1500 lumen.

How much will it cost to do an LED retrofit?

The project cost depends on the size of your building and the resulting energy and maintenance savings. For the majority of our projects, the upfront cost is usually recouped within 2 ½ years.

How long do LEDs last?

LEDs do not suddenly burn out, rather they fade over time. As with any lighting, the useful life depends on operating hours. Quality LED lighting are expected to have a useful life in the range of 30,000 to 50,000 hours. 50,000 hours would imply 5.7 years if the light is operated 24 hours per day.

Is the life of an LED reduced if it is frequently turned on and off?

Unlike discharge lamps, LEDs are semiconductors and their life is not affected by the number of times they are turned on and off.

Are LEDs considered a green technology?

Yes, LEDs are considered a green technology because they use less energy than most other light sources. Additionally, LEDs do not contain hazardous materials such as toxic mercury.
