Common Commercial LED Lighting Retrofit Scenarios
Office Fluorescent Upgrade
Replacing aging T8 or T12 troffer fixtures in a Nashville office with flat LED panels that reduce glare and improve color rendering for screen-based work.
Warehouse High-Bay Replacement
Swapping out 400-watt metal halide high-bay fixtures for 150-watt LED UFO bays in a distribution or storage facility to cut energy use and maintenance calls.
Retail Showroom Relight
Redesigning a Nashville retail space's lighting with directional LED track and recessed fixtures that highlight merchandise and reduce heat buildup from older halogen lamps.
Our Commercial LED Lighting Retrofit Process
Lighting Audit and Measurement
We document every existing fixture type, wattage, and burn hour per day, then measure current foot-candle levels to establish a baseline and identify deficient areas.
Retrofit Specification and Rebate Review
We select DLC-listed LED products that qualify for TVA EnergyRight commercial rebates and provide a projected payback timeline based on Nashville Electric Service rate schedules.
Scheduled Installation
Fixtures are replaced in phases or after hours to keep the business operational. Ballasts are bypassed or removed and existing wiring is reused where gauge permits.
Commissioning and Documentation
Post-installation foot-candle readings confirm target lighting levels are met. We provide a fixture inventory and warranty documentation for each product installed.
Commercial LED Lighting Retrofit - Frequently Asked Questions
Most commercial retrofits reduce lighting electricity consumption by 50 to 70 percent. A small office running 20 older T8 fixtures could save $150 to $300 annually on Nashville Electric Service bills, with larger warehouses seeing thousands in annual savings.
TVA EnergyRight offers per-fixture rebates for DLC-listed LED products installed by licensed electricians. Rebate amounts vary by fixture type and wattage reduction. Bright Spark Electric assists clients with application paperwork and ensures selected products qualify before purchase.
A 3,000 square foot open office with 30 to 40 troffer fixtures typically takes one to two evenings or a weekend day to complete. We stage material delivery in advance so the installation window is used entirely for fixture replacement rather than unpacking.
In most cases, existing wiring is reused. T8 lamp retrofits require ballast bypass to connect directly to line voltage, which we perform as part of the installation. If wiring gauges or circuit loads do not support the new fixtures, we address that in the specification phase before work begins.
