Long Lasting Benefits of Lighting Retrofits When considering a lighting ren- ovation, the best and most efficient solution may appear to be a com- plete lighting redesign to replace old lighting systems. The benefits include a newly constructed system and a larger job.
But there also are many benefits to using retrofit technology to replace a lighting system. Retrofits enable installation of component parts into the housing of old fix- tures, so there is no need to revamp the entire system. The newly installed retrofits maintain their integrity and deliver the appearance of a modern fixture.
Kits can be installed individually
below the ceiling plane usual- ly in 15 to 20 minutes, so any disruption to day-to-day business is limited, if not eliminated. Employees can work under normal condi- tions instead of the distrac- tion of a complete redesign installation. In late 2011, Medical Mutual of Ohio (Cleve - land) selected Lithonia Lighting RELIGHT retro- fits for its headquarters in the historic Rose Building. Don Green, Medical Mutual of Ohio director of building and general services, says the kits were a cost-effective and easy-to-install solution that delivered a better lighting experience.
