Old Lighting Uses Too Much Power
LED Lighting Retrofits in Spokane and surrounding areas for buildings with high energy costs or outdated fluorescent and incandescent systems
Thunderbird Power converts outdated lighting systems to energy-efficient LED solutions for homes, offices, retail spaces, and commercial properties in Spokane, Cheney, Spokane Valley and surrounding areas. You need this service when your building uses fluorescent tubes, incandescent bulbs, or metal halide fixtures that consume excessive energy and require frequent replacement. Retrofitting to LED reduces energy usage, lowers maintenance costs, and improves lighting quality across your property.
The process begins with an evaluation of your current lighting layout to determine the best retrofit options for your space. Thunderbird Power removes outdated fixtures, installs LED replacements, and ensures proper driver compatibility and wiring. The new fixtures provide better color rendering, longer lifespan, and lower heat output than the systems they replace.
If your building's lighting costs are too high or your fixtures fail frequently, contact Thunderbird Power to discuss retrofit options in Spokane and neighboring communities.
Once the retrofit is complete, your building benefits from consistent, high-quality lighting that uses a fraction of the energy consumed by older systems. You will notice brighter, more even light distribution without the flicker or warm-up delay common in fluorescent and HID fixtures. LED systems last significantly longer, which means fewer disruptions and lower replacement costs over time.
Thunderbird Power installs LED fixtures that match the output and layout requirements of your space, whether it is a warehouse, office, retail floor, or residential interior. The retrofit reduces cooling loads in conditioned spaces because LED fixtures produce far less heat than incandescent and halogen alternatives. You gain immediate control over lighting performance and long-term savings on energy bills.
The retrofit includes removal of old fixtures, installation of LED replacements, and disposal of outdated ballasts and lamps. It does not include structural modifications or changes to lighting layout unless those are part of the agreed scope. If your existing wiring is incompatible with LED drivers or requires upgrading, that work is addressed during the evaluation.
Common Questions About LED Retrofits
Here are the questions clients ask when planning lighting retrofits in the Spokane area.
How much energy do LED fixtures save compared to fluorescent or incandescent lighting?
LED fixtures typically use 50 to 75 percent less energy than fluorescent tubes and up to 90 percent less than incandescent bulbs, depending on the application.
Can LED fixtures be installed in the same locations as my current lights?
Yes, most LED retrofits are designed to fit existing mounting points and electrical boxes, though some fixtures may require adapter plates or rewiring.
What is the lifespan of LED fixtures?
Most commercial-grade LED fixtures last 50,000 hours or more, which translates to 10 to 20 years of typical use before requiring replacement.
Do LED fixtures work with dimmer switches?
Some LED fixtures are compatible with dimmers, but you may need to replace your existing dimmer switches with models designed for LED loads to avoid flickering or failure.
Will the retrofit affect the appearance of my space?
LED fixtures are available in a wide range of styles, color temperatures, and brightness levels, allowing you to match or improve the look and feel of your current lighting.
