What Is Retrofitting Fluorescent Fixtures?
Retrofitting fluorescent fixtures involves replacing the internal electrical components of existing fluorescent light fixtures with modern LED technology while preserving the original fixture housing. This process eliminates the magnetic or electronic ballast that regulates current flow to fluorescent tubes, replacing it with LED drivers that convert standard 120V or 277V AC power directly to the low-voltage DC required by LED arrays.
The technical process involves removing the existing ballast assembly, which typically draws 8-15% additional power beyond the fluorescent tubes themselves. LED retrofit kits bypass this inefficiency by connecting directly to line voltage through integrated drivers that provide precise current regulation. Modern LED retrofits achieve luminous efficacy ratings of 100-150 lumens per watt compared to fluorescent systems averaging 60-80 lumens per watt.
Five or Free services multiple fixture types throughout Rockridge, including recessed troffers common in 1950s kitchen renovations, under-cabinet fluorescent strips installed during 1980s updates, and workshop fixtures in basement areas of Craftsman bungalows. We handle both T12 and T8 tube configurations, with T12 systems requiring more extensive rewiring due to their higher current draw and magnetic ballast designs.
Homeowners typically request retrofitting when fluorescent fixtures exhibit delayed startup, visible flickering, or the distinctive electrical humming that increases with ballast age. In Rockridge's 1920s homes, original electrical systems often struggle with fluorescent ballast inrush current, creating voltage dips that affect other circuits during fixture startup.
