What is an LED Troffer Retrofit Kit?
An LED troffer retrofit kit is an all-in-one solution designed to upgrade your existing, inefficient fluorescent troffer fixtures to modern, energy-saving LED technology. Instead of replacing the entire fixture housing, troffer retrofit kits allow you to simply replace the internal components—the old bulbs and ballast.
This makes a fluorescent to LED retrofit kit a fast and cost-effective way to get the benefits of LED lighting. The result is a brighter, more efficient fixture that looks and performs like new. A troffer retrofit kit LED conversion is one of the most popular and simple upgrades for commercial spaces.
Why Choose a Troffer Retrofit Kit?
Upgrading with troffer retrofit kits offers several major advantages over installing new fixtures:
- Cost-Effective: Upgrading with a kit is often significantly cheaper than purchasing and installing a brand-new fixture.
- Fast Installation: Since you aren't removing the fixture housing from the ceiling, installation is much faster, minimizing disruption to your office or retail space.
- Reduced Waste: Reusing your existing fixture housing is an environmentally friendly choice that reduces landfill waste.
- Energy Savings: Immediately benefit from a 50-70% reduction in energy consumption compared to your old fluorescent troffers.
Selecting the Right LED Retrofit Kit for 2x4 Troffer & 2x2 Fixtures
To ensure a smooth upgrade, consider these factors:
- Size Compatibility: The most important factor. Ensure your kit matches your fixture size. We carry the most common sizes, including the 2x4 troffer retrofit kit and the 2x2 troffer retrofit kit.
- Fixture Housing: Make sure your existing troffer housing is in good condition and compatible with the kit's design.
-
Kit Type:
- Magnetic Strips/Bars: These are LED strips that magnetically attach to the inside of the troffer body, replacing the bulbs. They are highly versatile.
- Door/Lens Replacement: Some kits replace the entire door assembly (the lens and frame) with an integrated LED unit.
- Panel Retrofit Kit: These kits are designed to look like a flat panel, dropping into the existing troffer housing to create a modern, flat-panel appearance. A panel retrofit kit is a great way to update the style as well as the technology.
- Features: Check for options like dimming capabilities (0-10V is common) and selectable color temperature (CCT) to choose your preferred light color.
