Lighting Retrofit & Indoor Lighting Installation in Tacoma, WA
A lighting upgrade — commonly called a lighting retrofit — goes well beyond simply swapping old fixtures for new LED ones. A true retrofit focuses on measurable energy efficiency gains for your home or business. Retrofitting means modifying your existing installation, whether that involves new fixtures, upgraded controls, or advanced dimming technology.
In Tacoma, where Tacoma Power serves as the municipal utility, LED lighting retrofits also open the door to utility incentive programs that can offset a substantial portion of project costs. LED lights have become the standard for indoor lighting installation across the Puget Sound region — and for good reason. They last longer, consume less energy, and deliver better light quality than the technology they replace.
Advantages of Using Retrofit Lighting
- Retrofit lighting dramatically improves energy efficiency — switching to LED fixtures can cut lighting energy use by 40 to 60 percent.
- Reduced wattage translates directly into lower monthly electricity costs on your Tacoma Power bill.
- Better light quality — higher CRI, consistent color temperature, and flicker-free output — improves comfort at home and productivity in the workplace.

If used for an average of 6 hours every day, retrofit LED lights have an expected life span of 35,000 hours. That is equivalent to 16 years, and a much higher period than what you get with traditional lighting.
