Outdated lighting drains your budget and reduces visibility where it matters most. Legacy Industries delivers end‑to‑end energy‑efficient lighting retrofits for offices, retail, healthcare, schools, warehouses, and industrial facilities across Upstate South Carolina, North Georgia, and Western North Carolina. We design, install, and commission modern LED systems, with smart controls, that improve safety, productivity, and aesthetics while lowering operating costs.
Why Retrofit Now?
Benefit
What It Means
Energy Savings
LEDs use significantly less power than fluorescent, metal halide, and HPS, reducing utility bills immediately.
Lower Maintenance
Long lifespans mean fewer lamp changes, fewer lifts, and less downtime.
Improved Light Quality
Higher CRI and targeted CCT improve accuracy, comfort, and customer experience.
Controls & Automation
Occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, and scheduling deliver additional savings.
Safety & Compliance
Proper light levels for egress and task areas; NEC‑compliant installs and clean inspections.
Service Options, From Quick Swaps to Full Redesigns
One‑for‑One Retrofits: Fast conversion using retrofit kits or lamps where appropriate.
Fixture Replacements: New fixtures for better optics, efficiency, and maintenance access.
Lighting Redesign: Photometric modeling and layout changes to meet task/egress standards.
Controls Integration: Standalone sensors or networked systems for zones, scheduling, and analytics.
Exterior Upgrades: Poles, wall packs, and façade lighting with photocells and time scheduling.
Emergency Systems: Exit and emergency lighting with monthly/annual test routines.
Design & Photometrics
We validate design decisions with photometric analysis so you see expected light levels before installation.

Energy & Cost Outcomes
Measure
Typical Impact
Wattage Reduction
40–70% vs. legacy fixtures
Maintenance Calls
Reduced by 50–80% with long‑life LEDs
Cooling Load
Lower heat adds HVAC savings in conditioned spaces
Payback Window
Often 1–3 years depending on runtime and utility rates
(Impacts vary by facility; we provide project‑specific projections.)
Quality & Safety Standards
We install to NEC and local code, using UL‑listed fixtures and drivers. Our crews maintain clean sites, safe barricades, and lift protocols. Emergency and egress paths are validated and documented. We label panels and zones for easy maintenance and future changes.
Maintenance & Support
Lens cleaning and light‑level checks
Driver/board replacement as needed
Sensor recalibration and schedule updates
Warranty tracking and service logs
Optional annual inspections for multi‑site portfolios
Service Areas

We coordinate work around business hours to keep operations moving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my space be too bright or too dim after retrofit?
We design with photometrics and field verify using light‑level targets appropriate to your tasks.
Do LEDs work with my existing dimmers?
Sometimes. We match drivers and controls to ensure smooth, flicker‑free dimming.
Can you retrofit without shutting down operations?
Yes. We phase work, schedule off‑hours, and maintain safe egress at all times.
What about rebate or incentive paperwork?
If available in your area, we can provide documentation your program requires.
How long do LED fixtures last?
Commercial‑grade LEDs offer long life; actual results depend on runtime, heat, and driver quality. We specify proven fixtures to maximize lifespan.
