With 54% of lighting yet to transition to LED, and an estimated 80% of buildings standing in 2050 already existing today, the importance of retrofitting and refurbishment cannot be overstated. Outdated fluorescent lighting not only drives up energy costs but also requires constant maintenance, making it a burden for businesses striving for efficiency and sustainability. That’s where LEDFIT comes in.
LEDFIT is Edge Lighting’s bespoke retrofit service, designed to help businesses transition from conventional fluorescent lighting to energy-efficient LED systems. By retrofitting existing fixtures rather than replacing them, we not only reduce waste but also offer an environmentally friendly and economically savvy solution.
Why Retrofit Instead of Replace?
Retrofitting offers a unique advantage: it repurposes your existing fixtures, allowing businesses to modernize their lighting without the cost or complexity of a full replacement. For businesses with large-scale lighting setups, such as retail stores, warehouses, or offices, this approach is particularly appealing because it:
-
Saves Time: Retrofitting is quicker than installing entirely new systems, ensuring minimal downtime for your operations.
-
Cuts Costs: By avoiding full fixture replacements, you save on materials, labor, and disposal fees.
- Aligns with Sustainability Goals: Retrofitting reduces waste, making it a greener solution.
The First LEDFIT Success Story: Waitrose Daventry
Our LEDFIT service made its debut in a landmark project for Waitrose Daventry.
The challenge was clear: replace outdated fluorescent lighting across the store with energy-efficient LED linear lighting while preserving the store’s existing fixtures.
The results? LEDFIT successfully delivered:
- Cumulative cost savings of over £190k and reduced CO₂ emissions by more than 6 tonnes over a 10-year period.
- Improved lighting quality, improving the shopping experience for customers.
- Seamless integration, completing the retrofit without disrupting store operations.
- No need to alter ceiling grids or luminaire layouts
This project not only showcased the efficiency of LEDFIT but also set the stage for future rollouts in similar retail environments.
