Lighting "Retrofit" is a term used to describe the process of removing an old, inefficient lighting fixture or system and replacing it with a new, energy efficient solution.  People have been retrofitting lighting systems since Edison patented the carbon filament in 1880.  New technology is continually emerging and bringing with it new lamp types and energy efficiencies.

Even with the new laws in effect, incandescent lighting is still around.  However, the inefficiency and the new energy codes and restrictions will continually make it more challenging to obtain the older incandescent light bulbs.  With energy costs continually rising, the best way to keep your business operating consistently is to cut costs.  Lighting retrofits are an easy and inexpensive way to cut costs.  When done properly, a retrofit can have a positive impact on productivity, will pay for itself, and will provide a return on investment that is second to none.
