What is an LED Retrofit? Why Does It Matter?
What Is a Commercial LED Lighting Retrofit Service?
Why Does Commercial LED Retrofitting Matter ?
A LED retrofit converts the lighting in your facility from fluorescents and incandescents to LEDs. The new LED installations provide better lighting and reduce the lighting portion of standard utility bills by 40-50 percent.
Lighting plays a crucial role in energy consumption, operational costs, and overall efficiency in commercial and residential settings. Traditional lighting methods, such as incandescent and fluorescent bulbs, consume more energy, have shorter lifespans, and require frequent maintenance.
Sunbright LED Will Provide:
A LED retrofit does not require a lighting redesign, and structural changes are rarely made to accommodate the retrofits. On most occasions, the retrofit will use the existing lighting system. Each fixture will be re-wired to accommodate the new LED bulbs. For fluorescent fixtures, the new LED fixtures are directly wired into the supply, eliminating the ballast.
The LED retrofitting process is done with minimal disruption to the operation of the company. If necessary, the conversion can be completed out of regular working hours. The length of time needed for a full retrofit is dependent on the size of the project — from a few days up to a month. The full financial payback from these conversions is seen after 12-18 months.
LEDs offered by Sunbright are DLC-listed and UL/CUL-certified. Sunbright offers a 5-year or 50,000-hour warranty (whichever occurs first) on all products that we install. With normal use of the LEDs (8 – 10 hours/day), the bulbs will last as long as 20 years. Our sourcing has been tried and tested over several years, and we have less than a 1% return.
Sunbright LED electrical contractors are licensed, insured and bonded. We carry a $5 million dollar liability insurance, which is well above the insurance carried by the electrical contractors.
LED Conversion Process
Lighting redesign is not required when converting to LED, and on most occasions, will use the existing lighting system. Our process is done with minimal disruption to the operation of the business, and can even be completed out of regular working hours.
1. Free Energy Audit & Facility Assessment
Our experts conduct a comprehensive energy audit of your facility—at no cost to you. This allows us to analyze your current lighting system, identify inefficiencies, and determine the best LED retrofit solution tailored to your business needs.
2. Custom LED Conversion Plan & Cost Savings Report
We provide a detailed breakdown of your LED upgrade process, including projected energy savings, return on investment (ROI), and long-term cost reductions—so you can make an informed decision with full transparency.
3. Flexible Financing with Zero Down Payment
To make your LED transition hassle-free, we offer multiple financing options with NO upfront costs—allowing you to enjoy the benefits of LED lighting without financial strain.
4. Maximize Savings with Utility Rebates (35%–50% Off LED Upgrades!)

5. IRS Tax Incentives for LED Retrofits (Up to 60¢ Per Sq. Ft.)
Did you know the IRS offers tax deductions for LED lighting conversions? Businesses can qualify for up to 60¢ per interior square foot—a substantial tax incentive that offsets the cost of upgrading. We provide all necessary documentation to help you claim this benefit.
6. Long-Term Benefits: 100,000+ Hours of High-Performance LED Lighting
Our premium DLC-listed and UL/CUL-certified LEDs deliver over 100,000 hours of bright, energy-efficient lighting, significantly reducing energy consumption, maintenance costs, and environmental impact.
Lightbulb Comparisons
The Lighting of the Future ... Available Today! Let's Compare:
60W
A 60 Watt Incandescent Bulb Should be Good For 1,000 Hours of Lighting
15W
A 15 Watt Fluorescent Bulb Should be Good For 5,000 Hours of Lighting
7W
A 7 Watt LED Bulb Will be Good For > 50,000 Hours of Lighting
The three bulbs above are comparable, except that the 7 watt LED bulb will give you the most light for the lowest possible cost, and it will last up to 10 times longer. LED bulbs are far superior to regular bulbs in applications that require frequent on/off cycles or where dimming is required without a change in lighting tint. LED bulbs can also be focused without having to use external reflectors and can operate in low temperatures.
Let’s Compare Light Bulb Types
Here’s a comparison of ordinary (in use everywhere) light bulbs with comparable LED bulbs to quantify the tremendous savings in watts that you can expect by simply converting your facility over to new, hi-tech LED lighting!
| Savings | Percentage | ||
|---|---|---|---|
Incandescent Bulbs 60 Watts 100 Watts | LED Bulbs 7 Watts 9 Watts | 53 Watts 91 Watts | 88% 91% |
CFL Fluorescents 19.7 Watts | LED Bulbs 7Watts | 12.7 Watts | 64% |
T-12 Flurorescent Tubes 40 Watts | LED Bulbs 15 Watts | 25 Watts | 62.5% |
Mercury Vapor Bulbs 450 Watts | LED Bulbs 120 Watts | 330 Watts | 73% |
These savings occur each and every time you turn on one of these bulbs. How many of these bulbs do you currently have in your facility? Doesn’t it make sense that the fewer watts you use to light your premises, the less money you are going to spend each month by using LED Lights (since all of your lighting costs are computed in watts)? Over time, these savings add up significantly, reducing operational expenses and improving your bottom line. Plus, with LEDs lasting up to 20 years, you’ll also save on maintenance and replacement costs, making it a smart long-term investment.
4 Reasons Why Sun Bright LED is the Smart Choice
Energy Savings with LED Lighting
How Power Companies Compute Customer Bills
Your electric bill is computed on how many kilowatt hours of energy you use in any given month. The higher the kilowatt hours used, the higher your electric bill will be. The biggest electrical expense for your business is likely lighting. The higher the wattage on the lighting you are currently using, the more electricity it will take to provide that lighting. Doesn’t it make sense to use lighting that will draw the least amount of watts, yet give you the most amount of lighting at the lowest cost?
A 7 watt LED bulb (good for a minimum of 50,000 hours of operation) will give you the same or more light as a:
A 7 watt LED bulb consumes 90% less power than a comparable 60 watt incandescent bulb. How many incandescent and fluorescent bulbs are you currently using in your facility?
A changeover to LED lighting is going to directly reduce your monthly electric bills by up to 70%!
