The Business Case for LED Retrofits

40–70%

Energy Savings

Compared to fluorescent and HID systems

2–4 Years

Typical Payback

Often 12–18 months with utility rebates

50,000+ Hours

LED Lamp Life

vs. 10,000–20,000 hours for fluorescent

Lighting typically accounts for 20–40% of a commercial building's total electricity consumption. For warehouses and manufacturing facilities with high-bay lighting running 16–24 hours a day, that percentage can be even higher. An LED retrofit is often the single highest-ROI energy improvement available to a commercial property owner.

Beyond energy savings, LED fixtures dramatically reduce maintenance costs. Metal halide and fluorescent lamps require replacement every 1–3 years. LED fixtures last 50,000 hours or more, meaning a warehouse that runs lights 16 hours a day won't need to replace them for nearly 9 years. Eliminating lamp replacement labor and materials adds significantly to the total cost savings.

Florida's climate adds another factor: LED fixtures generate far less heat than fluorescent or HID lighting, which reduces the load on your HVAC system, particularly valuable in Florida's hot, humid summers.

Utility Rebates: Duke Energy & TECO

Both Duke Energy Florida and TECO (Tampa Electric) offer commercial lighting rebate programs that pay businesses for installing qualifying LED fixtures. These rebates can cover $20–$100 or more per fixture, depending on the fixture type and wattage reduction. On a large warehouse or office building retrofit, rebates can total tens of thousands of dollars.

The rebate application process requires documentation of existing fixtures, new fixture specifications, and post-installation verification. Coastline Electric handles the entire rebate process on your behalf, from pre-approval to final submission, so you receive the maximum incentive available without the administrative burden.

Rebate programs change frequently. We stay current on available incentives and will advise you on the best timing and fixture selection to maximize your rebate eligibility before work begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most commercial LED retrofits reduce lighting energy consumption by 40–70% compared to fluorescent or HID systems. Exact savings depend on your current fixtures, operating hours, and utility rate. We can provide an energy audit and ROI estimate before any work begins.

Yes. Duke Energy and TECO (Tampa Electric) both offer commercial lighting rebate programs that can significantly offset the upfront cost of an LED retrofit. We coordinate the rebate application process on your behalf as part of our service.

Most commercial LED projects pay back in 2–4 years through energy savings and reduced maintenance costs. Utility rebates can shorten the payback period to 12–18 months in some cases. We provide a detailed payback analysis before you commit.

It depends on the fixture and your goals. For older fluorescent troffers, we often recommend replacing the entire fixture with a new LED troffer for maximum efficiency and a clean look. For some applications, a direct-wire LED tube retrofit is cost-effective. We'll recommend the best approach for each area of your facility.

Yes. High-bay LED fixtures are one of the highest-impact retrofits available for warehouses and manufacturing facilities. Modern LED high-bays deliver better light levels than metal halide or fluorescent high-bays while using 50–60% less energy and lasting 3–5 times longer.

Yes. Occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting controls, and dimming systems can add another 20–30% in energy savings on top of the LED retrofit. We design and install lighting control systems that integrate with your new LED fixtures.

Yes. We replace metal halide and high-pressure sodium parking lot fixtures with LED area lights that provide better color rendering, longer life, and significantly lower energy consumption. Exterior LED retrofits also reduce maintenance costs from lamp replacements.
