Switching to LED lighting: Why Retrofit is the best option

7 Sep 2021

Sustainable consumption and energy efficiency have become two of the main factors when it comes to lighting renovation and to finding solutions that may meet these objectives while offering suitable performances.

As for professional lighting, it is very important to choose luminaires that can adapt to both their environment and use requirements, taking into account the type of area – indoors or outdoors –, the type of activity, exposition and safety measures.

Nowadays, LED lighting is the ideal technology to meet all the previous requirements. It has become intelligent lighting, because it includes several features such as scheduling, intensity control and consumption.

Televes brings ample experience in electronics technology, with a complete calalogue of Professional LED Lighting products and solutions, a clear advantage to become the reference in the market for public and industrial lighting networks renovations.

Today, we will focus on the features of Retrofit modules, one of the easiest LED technologies to install that makes luminaire replacement very simple, as the existing structures can be reused.

 

Benefits and advantages of LED lighting

LED technology is renowned for its low consumption. It is one of the best solutions to replace traditional luminaires and to equip professional lighting with enhanced qualities.

 

Energy efficiency

This is the current core idea when developing any kind of luminaire. The aim here is to save energy and to offer solutions that can ensure higher durability and less maintenance costs.

LED lighting stands out for its low consumption as compared to other lighting alternatives, as well as for its lower CO2 emissions, low heat emission, and the fact that they are free of mercury.

 

Intelligent lighting

In order to reach sustainable usage, it is necessary that luminaires can be self-regulating and behave depending on the requirements and the context, by relying on scheduling and monitoring features that are integrated in this type of luminaire.

LED technology includes software and electronics making self-management easier so both efficient use and light quality can be guaranteed.

This feature – that makes lighting behave as an intelligent system – helps reduce maintenance tasks and expand the lifespan of each product. They also feature devices that are interconnected via Wi-Fi networks, which makes the information exchange easier and decision-making smoother.

 

Installing LED technology

It is always important to consider standalone LED modules such as those offered by Televes. They can guarantee total safety unlike other built-in modules, since safety would depend on the quality of the installation.

Televes’ LED modules stand out in the area of professional lighting because they have been developed to be easily installed and to save costs.

For these reasons, these LED solutions are versatile, easy to assemble and able to reuse previous installations.

 

Retrofit modules: professional lighting solutions

Among the LED professional lighting solutions that guarantee an easy assembly by using existing structures, Retrofit modules stand out for their adaptability and the balance between investing in new lighting technologies and resources utilization.

Retrofit modules have a very versatile design and several adaptable frames allowing for fast replacement and adaptation to different types of structures such as suspended, built-in, etc. In addition, thanks to their long lifespan and efficiency, maintenance and replacement costs can be reduced significantly, which ensures a rapid return on investment.

By combining these key advantages in the field of professional lighting and their characteristics, we obtain a type of LED technology that offers lighting quality that is ideal for indoor and outdoor areas, roads, or industrial facilities.

Thanks to these intelligent and self-regulating modules, light behavior adapts to the type of use and support by changing the color-temperature range or even the opening angle. Light intensity can be also scheduled, ensuring efficient use and sensible consumption.

Their design and performance have been developed so that they can feature cutting-edge, environment-friendly LED technology. They are mercury-free , produced with recyclable components and their lifespan is twice as much as traditional luminaires.

Retrofit modules are the appropriate choice for different types of uses and spaces because they neither produce heat, nor UV radiation, having, therefore, no negative impact on the environment or people in these spaces. In addition to that, its low light pollution makes them suitable for outdoor spaces located near natural ecosystems, parks and gardens.

The portfolio of Televes’ LED luminaires presents all the features of our Retrofit modules and many other solutions aimed at professional lighting and the development of Smart Cities, as it includes technology that supports energy efficiency.

Our team at Televes will offer you personalized advice depending on the requirements of each specific project. Please, do not hesitate to contact us so we can find the solution that best suits you.
