What is a lighting retrofit?

A lighting retrofit is a method to modify a lighting system to lower the operating costs and/or improve the performance of that system based on efficiency and the task performed. Retrofitting existing fixture infrastructure can be challenging for the reason that existing fixture should be removed and the rough-in kit used and/or modified for new fixture. A retrofit lamp must have similar physical aspect, light distribution, brightness, size and supply adaptor connections as each specific conventional lamp subject of replacement. The benefits of LED fixtures such us high efficiency, high efficacy and long lifespan have drawn the attention of commercial and residential consumers. This has led to an increase in the replacement of traditional light fixtures with LED fixture retrofits in existing building infrastructure.
