Litetronics Introduces Revolutionary New Troffer Retrofit
One of the largest lighting categories in terms of installed base is florescent fixtures. There are about 964 million fluorescent fixtures in the U.S. alone! If they could all be retrofitted to LED, the U.S. Department of Energy estimates $11 billion could be saved on energy annually. Litetronics, a 45 year old lighting manufacturer, has a line of easy to use retrofits that makes converting the most popular troffers to LED.
Retrofit kits face two challenges – mimicking the existing light output and cost of installation. The new LED RetroFits from Litetronics deliver the energy savings and light output demanded by today’s savvy energy and facilities managers. For example, the 3-light 2×4 retrofit uses only 50w, but can replace four T8 lamps while matching the lumen output and light distribution from the existing fixture! That’s nearly a 60% energy savings. And with a rated life of 85,000 hours backed by a 7 year warranty, facility owners will enjoy those energy savings for many years.
Installation of the LED RetroFit is quick and easy – greatly reducing typical costly labor charges. The kit can be installed in less than 3 minutes! After removing the ballast and ballast cover, the one-piece unit fits securely into the troffer housing and is held in place with powerful, rare earth magnets. This patent pending system allows for fast, hands-free final connections.

The Litetronics LED RetroFit takes all the guess work and uncertainty out of troffer retrofitting. There is no need to worry about choosing the right tube, internal vs. external drivers, replacing tombstones, bypassing or using the existing ballast, etc., etc. The LED RetroFit is a self-contained, one-piece unit, suitable for either 120v or 277v systems. It is UL and DLC approved and available in 3500k, 4000k, or 5000k.
And finally, the LED RetroFit is the best value on the market. It has a cost of less than half of that of a typical new LED luminaire, installs much quicker and avoids the cost of recycling perfectly good fluorescent fixtures.
