Cut your lighting energy by 60–80%. We retrofit fluorescent, HID, and halogen systems to modern LED with controls. Most commercial retrofits pay back in under three years.
Commercial lighting retrofits are one of the highest-ROI projects a business can do. Replacing older fluorescent T12s, HID parking lot fixtures, or halogen retail track lighting with modern LEDs typically delivers 60–80% energy reduction, dramatically longer fixture life, and better light quality. With utility rebates and tax incentives, payback is often under three years.
ABC Electric handles commercial lighting retrofits across central Kentucky for offices, retail, restaurants, warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and multi-tenant buildings. We do the energy analysis upfront, identify available rebates, recommend the right fixtures and controls for your space, and handle the install with minimal disruption to your operations.
We work with all major commercial lighting brands and can match light quality to your space — warm tones for hospitality, neutral for offices, cool for warehouses and industrial. We also install lighting controls (occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, scheduled dimming) which add another layer of savings on top of the LED upgrade itself.
