LED Lighting Retrofit Guide

Why This Matters

LED lighting uses 75% less energy and lasts 25x longer than incandescent.

What You Should Do

1. Check lumens, not watts — 800 lumens ≈ 60W.

2. Choose color — 2700K warm, 4000K cool.

3. Check dimmer compatibility — May need LED-rated dimmers.

4. Consider retrofit kits for recessed lighting.

5. Start with high-use lights.

When to Call a Professional

An electrician can handle complex retrofits, install LED-rated dimmers, and ensure proper ventilation around fixtures.
