Commercial LED Lighting Retrofits in SW Wisconsin

LED Retrofits

Modern Lighting for Shops, Offices and Lots

Old fluorescent tubes and metal halide lamps flicker, hum, fade and need frequent replacement. LED lighting is the direct answer. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that LED bulbs use at least 75 percent less energy than incandescent lighting and last up to 25 times longer. For a building with hundreds of lamp locations, that adds up to fewer ladder trips and steadier light.

Sparks Electrical Solutions handles commercial LED retrofits for offices, shops, warehouses, farms and storefronts. Our work with new tenants is covered on the build-outs page. This page is about upgrading lighting in a building that is already running. We start with a walkthrough of each room, hallway, yard and lot so the plan reflects how your building is really used, not only a fixture count.

Fixture, Retrofit Kit or Lamp Swap

There are three ways to convert a fixture. A lamp swap drops LED tubes into the existing fixture, which is quick but depends on ballast condition. A retrofit kit keeps the housing and replaces the guts. A full fixture replacement costs more labor but removes old wiring, lenses and sockets for good. We look at the age and condition of what you have and recommend the approach that makes sense for each area of the building.

Controls and Sensors

Lights that turn themselves off in empty storerooms, restrooms and back offices are a simple upgrade with a large effect on how a building runs. We install occupancy and vacancy sensors, photocells for exterior fixtures and dimming where tasks vary through the day. Settings are tuned so nobody is left in the dark halfway through a task. In long warehouse aisles, zoned sensors keep working areas lit while unused aisles stay dark.

Parking Lots, Wall Packs and High-Bay

Exterior and tall-ceiling lighting is where retrofits change the look of a property most. Parking lot poles, wall packs and building perimeter lights affect safety after dark, so we pay attention to coverage and glare. In warehouses, farm shops and manufacturing spaces, LED high-bay fixtures replace heavy metal halide units that take minutes to warm up and are awkward to service. Lift work and pole work are planned in advance.

Exit Signs and Emergency Lighting

While we are in the ceiling, we check exit signs and emergency units. Dead batteries and failed lamps are common findings, and Article 700 of the NEC sets how these life-safety systems must be supplied. We replace or repair them so the building is ready for its next inspection. Exit signs are tested on battery for the time the code requires, and we record what was found for your files.

Working Around Your Business

Retail floors and offices cannot always shut for a day. We plan the work in section-by-section phases built around your hours so customers and staff are disrupted as little as possible. Before starting, we agree on the order of work, ladder or lift access and cleanup, then confirm each zone is working before we leave it. Removed fixtures and old ballasts are hauled away so you are not left with a pile in the back room.
