LED Retrofit Services for Commercial Customers
At SJG Electrical, we are committed to providing energy-efficient and cost-effective lighting solutions for commercial properties. Our LED retrofit service is designed to help businesses transition from outdated, inefficient lighting systems to advanced LED technology, ensuring significant energy savings, improved light quality, and reduced maintenance costs.
Why Choose LED Retrofit?
LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology offers a range of benefits that make it the preferred choice for modern lighting solutions. Compared to traditional lighting systems, LEDs are highly energy-efficient, consuming up to 75% less energy. This substantial reduction in energy usage directly translates to lower electricity bills, making it an economically sound investment for any business. Moreover, LEDs have a longer lifespan, often lasting up to 50,000 hours or more, which means fewer replacements and less maintenance.
Comprehensive Assessment and Customised Solutions
Our LED retrofit service begins with a thorough assessment of your current lighting system. Our expert team conducts an on-site evaluation to understand your specific lighting needs and identify the best retrofit solutions. We consider factors such as the layout of your space, existing lighting infrastructure, and your energy consumption patterns. Based on this detailed analysis, we develop a customised plan tailored to maximise efficiency and performance.
Benton’s Garages were refitted with our 160w LED flood lamps and LED tubes. Since this improvement staff have benefitted from a lighter working environment and the company are already calculating savings on their energy bill.
‘After 11 weeks of the LED’s light being installed our electricity bill has been reduced by £1081.00 We cannot believe how good they really are!’
Professional Installation and Minimal Disruption
We understand that business operations cannot be put on hold for lighting upgrades. That’s why our retrofit process is designed to be quick and efficient, ensuring minimal disruption to your daily activities. Our qualified electricians handle the entire installation process, from removing the old fixtures to installing the new LED lights. We adhere to the highest standards of safety and quality, ensuring a seamless transition with minimal downtime.
Enhanced Lighting Quality and Workplace Productivity
Upgrading to LED lighting not only reduces energy costs but also significantly enhances the quality of light in your commercial space. LEDs provide bright, clear illumination with superior colour rendering, creating a more vibrant and comfortable environment. Improved lighting quality can have a positive impact on employee productivity and well-being, contributing to a better overall work atmosphere.
Sheepgate Equestrian Riding School refitted with our 160w flood lamps. They have 120 degree beam angle and can be fitted with a glass or acrylic cover, colour temperature available from 3500 K to 6000 K.
‘Having had new LED lights fitted in our Indoor School, we cannot believe how much brighter they are, it is like riding on a sunny day all year round. There are no more dark corners and the whole arena feels bigger and brighter.’
Sustainable and Environmentally Friendly
At SJG Electrical, we are committed to promoting sustainability and reducing our environmental footprint. LED lights are free from hazardous materials such as mercury, commonly found in fluorescent lights, making them a safer and more environmentally friendly option. Additionally, the reduced energy consumption of LEDs helps decrease greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a greener planet.
Ongoing Support and Maintenance
Our commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond installation. We offer ongoing support and maintenance services to ensure your LED lighting system continues to operate at peak efficiency. Our team is always on hand to address any issues or perform routine checks, ensuring your investment delivers long-term benefits.

LED Retrofit FAQ’s
1. How will you assess the existing halogen and tungsten lighting infrastructure to determine compatibility with an LED retrofit solution?
A competent contractor should be able to describe a structured audit methodology that evaluates the current luminaires, control gear, wiring topology, and load characteristics. This includes identifying whether existing fittings can be retrofitted with LED lamps or require full luminaire replacement, assessing thermal constraints, and verifying circuit capacity.
They should also consider factors such as voltage stability, dimming compatibility, and potential harmonic distortion introduced by LED drivers. A detailed survey should result in a documented proposal outlining like-for-like replacements versus redesign options, along with predicted performance improvements.
2. What approach will you take to ensure optimal lighting performance, including lux levels, uniformity, and colour rendering, after the LED retrofit?
The contractor should demonstrate an understanding of photometric design rather than simply offering lamp replacements. This involves conducting or referencing lighting calculations (e.g. using Dialux or Relux software) to achieve appropriate lux levels for the specific application areas within the premises.
Considerations should include beam angles, spacing, glare control (UGR), colour temperature (CCT), and colour rendering index (CRI). They should also explain how they will maintain or improve visual comfort and operational suitability, particularly in task-critical or customer-facing environments.
3. How will the retrofit impact the existing electrical load, circuit design, and energy consumption profile of the premises?
A technically sound response should address load reduction from replacing high-wattage halogen and tungsten lamps with lower-wattage LEDs, and how this affects circuit balancing and protection devices.
The contractor should be able to quantify expected energy savings (kWh reduction), changes in current draw, and any implications for distribution boards. Additionally, they should discuss power factor considerations and whether corrective measures (if required) will be implemented to maintain efficient system performance.
4. What provisions will be made to integrate the LED lighting system with existing building controls or future smart control systems?
The contractor should outline whether the proposed LED solution supports integration with current switching arrangements, timers, occupancy sensors, or daylight harvesting systems. They should also clarify compatibility with control protocols such as DALI, 0–10V, or wireless control systems if future scalability is desired.
A forward-thinking approach would include recommendations for enhancing control strategies to maximise energy efficiency and operational flexibility without necessitating major rewiring later.
5. How will installation be planned and executed to minimise disruption while ensuring system reliability and maintainability?
The contractor should present a clear installation methodology, including phased work schedules, isolation procedures, and contingency planning to avoid operational downtime. They should explain how they will manage removal of existing fittings, installation of new LED components, and testing/commissioning processes.
Additionally, they should address long-term considerations such as ease of maintenance, accessibility of drivers and components, and expected lifespan of the system, including how failures will be diagnosed and rectified efficiently.
