LED Panel and Troffer Retrofit Kits

LED panel and troffer retrofit kits are an easy way to upgrade existing fluorescent fixtures to LED in a matter of minutes. All existing internal hardware, including ballasts and tubes, are replaced, reducing energy and maintenance costs.

Designed for use in 1x4, 2x2, and 2x4 fluorescent fixtures commonly used in ceiling grids, these kits offer a wide range of features, including selectable wattages, selectable color temperatures, a high color rendering index (CRI) of 90, and 0-10V dimming. Color temperature options range from 3500K to 5000K. 4000K and 5000K are commonly used in commercial and educational settings to help reduce eye strain and increase visibility. Some kits are also DLC Premium listed and may qualify for state or local rebates.

Installing LED Retrofit Kits

During installation, the existing lens, lens frame, center basket, reflector, ballast, brackets, tubes, and lampholders are all removed from the fixtures, leaving only the supply and grounding leads and the housing. LED troffer retrofit kits replace these components with an LED light designed to match the appearance of a traditional troffer with a center basket, while the replacement lights of LED panel retrofit kits match the look of modern LED flat panel lights. Both kits fit directly into the existing fixture, attaching to brackets installed as part of the retrofit.

These retrofits install in minutes, and in many cases, you don't need to remove the fixture from the ceiling. However, if your existing fixtures are broken or you want a new up-to-date look, you should replace the fixtures entirely. It is also important to note that wattage and color temperature selections must be made during installation.

Where to Use LED Panel and Troffer Retrofit Kits

These retrofit kits can be used in a wide range of ceiling grid applications. They fit 1x4, 2x2, and 2x4 size fluorescent fixtures, which are typically used in offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and retail spaces. The high CRI of these fixtures is especially popular in the retail industry since it helps make colors appear brighter and more natural.
