LED RETROFIT

The LED retrofit can be an excellent option to bring LED lighting to your home.
The retrofit or retrofitting is the change made to the elements of a luminaire to use new technologies and optimize it without completely modifying the original structure, thus replacing some parts that can improve the performance of the luminaire. Among the benefits of the LED retrofit is that you will obtain a significant decrease in energy consumption, while still using all the components of the luminaire that you have.
This article is intended to introduce you to an option that can best fit your budget, to renew your lighting. And decide what the most optimal solution for you to incorporate LED technology in your home is? If it is to replace the luminaire entirely or on the contrary if it is more convenient to apply the retrofit on the luminaires to obtain new, more durable lighting and a significant reduction in the electricity bill.

LED Retrofit in Indoor and Outdoor Spaces

In interior LED lighting, for commercial and office areas, it is not recommended to use the retrofit since it does not take optimal advantage of the capabilities of LED luminaires. This is also due to the type of luminaires that are usually used to illuminate these spaces, such as, for example, fluorescent LEDs - which would be replaced by LED tubes. The opening angle of a LED tube is 120 °, while that of a traditional fluorescent tube is 360 ° and the luminaire of these are designed to take advantage of that 360 ° angle. It is thus wasting a feature that the luminaire offers.
While in interior LED lighting in houses, the panorama is different, since only with the exchange of the incandescent bulb, for an LED bulb that is compatible with the the luminaire is more than enough to resort to the LED retrofit.




For its part in outdoor LED lighting is quite good as long as the luminaire meets the requirements to install the LED lamp, physical space, to incorporate a power source and have excellent heat dissipation. Otherwise, it is not convenient to use retrofit. In that case, you only have the option to change the complete luminaire.

What Do I Need to Know to Readjust my LED Lights?

Check the lifetime given by the manufacturer and ask what kind of guarantee they offer. Identify the lumens that the lamp delivers. Search the specifications if they are based on alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC).
