Lighting Retrofits & Replacements

A lighting retrofit consists of replacing components in the system with counterparts that use energy more efficiently. A lighting upgrade is any strategy that reduces the system's energy use. Energy savings are realized immediately which produces a quick return on the investment.

Whether you are interested in trimming your office lighting and cooling bills, making the warehouse a little brighter, or moving your facility from old and inefficient metal halides to T5 or T8 Hi Bay fixtures, Gratton Infrared Inc. can help. We specialize in using the latest technology to make your facility energy efficient, and certain facilities can upgrade without having to completely replace their fixtures. Nearly all fluorescent fixtures have retrofit options that increase light levels and reduce wattage by as much as up to 70%!

Gratton Infrared can help you maximize energy savings and improve light quality with the least possible disruption to your operations. Our team of energy professionals will assist you in determining the quantity and quality of light that meets your needs.

In office and commercial facilities, older T12 fluorescent systems can be retrofitted to energy efficient T8 systems.

In industrial and commercial facilities, metal halide or high pressure sodium fixtures can be replaced with either T8 or T5 fluorescent systems depending on the application.

LED technology has been around for some time but only for lower wattage lighting like decorative interior lighting. As a result of rapid developments in the technology, it is now poised to become common in outside lighting, buildings, homes and offices. Contact us to determine if LED's are right for your facility.

Our processes are based on industry best practices and consist of:

Initial "walk-through" survey, this will assess if further work is warranted by your energy saving potential.

Detailed lighting audit and user needs assessment

We prepare an accurate accounting of all lighting sources and their use, giving a complete picture of current energy consumption and costs. We establish how the current lighting responds to the needs of the users and what changes are desired or mandated.

Economic analysis of design alternatives

We propose and analyze possible improvements:

Retrofit,
Relighting, or
Redesign.

Our designs are based on the latest industry recommendations and best practices. We consult on current standards and regulations.

For each design alternative, we establish the life-cycle cost, cash flow projection, payback period and Return on Investment (ROI). In consultation with you, the client, we recommend the best alternative. We also provide design documentation for each project.

Implementation

We manage the project from start to finish, including procurement of materials, labour (licensed electricians), site supervision and commissioning.

Applications for lease financing, rebates and incentives

Many owners and managers find it worthwhile to delegate to us the completion of documentation required to obtain financing.
