LED Retrofit Services for Commercial & Industrial Properties in Birmingham, AL
Older lighting systems often draw more power, produce more heat, and require frequent service calls. We install LED retrofits that reduce load, extend fixture life, and simplify lighting control across commercial and industrial spaces. Each system is selected based on layout, fixture type, and usage pattern to improve efficiency without affecting performance.
Our team completes retrofits in warehouses, offices, retail centers, and production facilities. Projects include one-to-one replacements, layout adjustments, and rework for specialty mounts or controls. Before installation, we review fixture condition, circuit capacity, and mounting access to avoid delays and mismatches.
Retrofits also help reduce long-term operating costs. LED systems draw less amperage, which lowers energy bills and increases panel capacity for future equipment. Depending on your setup, many fixtures also support dimming, sensors, or programmable scenes.
At 1Point Electric, our team completes LED retrofits across Birmingham and nearby areas. Installations are planned around building access, fixture condition, and site hours to keep operations moving without interruption.

What are the Benefits of LED Lighting?
LED lighting systems reduce power use, last longer than traditional fixtures, and offer greater control over light output and performance. These upgrades are now standard across commercial and industrial projects due to their long-term value.
LED systems help lower costs, increase control, and reduce the time and labor required to keep lighting systems running.
LED Retrofit FAQs
LED retrofits are a practical way to lower operating costs, improve lighting control, and extend fixture life across commercial and industrial spaces. These projects involve replacing outdated lighting with energy-efficient LED systems that use less power and require less maintenance over time. The questions below cover what to expect during planning, installation, and system selection.
An LED retrofit replaces existing light fixtures or lamps with energy-efficient LED technology. Retrofits are needed when older lighting becomes unreliable, inefficient, or difficult to maintain. They are also used during renovations, layout changes, or upgrades that require better lighting control and lower energy costs.
LED retrofits are often chosen to improve fixture lifespan, reduce amperage use, and support newer controls without changing the entire electrical layout.
Most fixture types can be retrofitted, including:
- Ceiling Grid Fixtures: Troffers and flat panels in offices, hallways, and classrooms.
- Exterior Wall Packs: Security and perimeter lighting mounted on building exteriors.
- High Bays & Low Bays: Lighting in warehouses, gyms, or production areas.
- Pole Lights: Parking lot or site lighting mounted on exterior poles.
- Recessed Cans: Interior fixtures found in lobbies, break rooms, or corridors.
Each fixture is evaluated for condition, mounting access, and compatibility before replacement.
LED fixtures draw lower amperage than fluorescent, metal halide, or HID lighting. This allows the same circuit to support more fixtures or frees up capacity for future equipment.
In many cases, reducing load also lowers the demand placed on panels and transformers, which can extend the life of other system components. Lower power use directly translates to reduced utility costs.
Retrofit costs vary based on:
- Fixture Quantity: The number of fixtures and lamps being replaced.
- Mounting Access: Ceiling height, lift needs, and obstructions that affect reach.
- Control Requirements: Integration with sensors, zones, or dimming systems.
- Fixture Condition: Damaged or outdated fixtures may require full replacement.
- Working Hours: Some facilities require after-hours installation or phased work.
We provide quotes based on site conditions, fixture type, and access requirements.
Most retrofit projects are completed within a few days, depending on building access and fixture count. Simple one-to-one replacements may be done in a single day, while phased projects with height restrictions or coordination needs may take longer.
Our team plans all work around building hours, site conditions, and safety requirements to avoid delays or disruptions.
