LED Lighting Retrofit
Quick answer
Whole-home LED retrofits, fixtures, recessed conversions, and dimmer matching, cut lighting energy 75–85% and end bulb-changing forever. Typical projects run $500–$3,000.Typical installed cost: $500–$3,000
If your home still mixes incandescent, halogen, and early CFL, a coordinated LED retrofit pays for itself and looks dramatically better: consistent color across rooms, flicker-free dimming, cooler fixtures. We convert cans, replace fixtures, and match dimmers so everything works together.
About LED Lighting Retrofit
Lighting is often 10–15% of a home's electric bill, and LED retrofits cut that slice by 75–85%, but the real reason homeowners love the result is quality: one consistent color temperature across the house instead of a patchwork, dimming that's smooth to zero flicker, and fixtures that run cool to the touch.
A coordinated retrofit beats years of one-bulb-at-a-time drift. We audit every fixture, convert recessed cans with LED inserts, replace tired fixtures, match dimmers to drivers, and standardize color so rooms flow into each other.
Retrofit scope options
- Bulb-and-dimmer pass: fastest payback, fixes flicker
- Recessed conversion: LED inserts or full wafer replacement
- Fixture refresh: dated fixtures to integrated-LED modern
- Exterior: porch, flood, and landscape converted with photocells
- Whole-home color standardization (2700K/3000K plan)
Retrofit order of operations: where to start for fastest payback
Not all sockets pay back equally. Start where hours are longest: kitchen and living areas that burn five-plus hours nightly, exterior fixtures on dusk-to-dawn duty, and any remaining halogen recessed cans (the space heaters of the lighting world). A single 90W halogen can running six hours daily costs more per year than the LED that replaces it.
Closets, guest rooms, and attics, minutes of monthly use, can wait or ride along for consistency. The other high-yield move is dimmer matching: solving flicker and buzz makes people actually use their dimmers, and dimmed LEDs sip even less. We sequence retrofits by this math so savings begin with the first visit.

Old dimmers chop power in a way LED drivers hate. LED-rated (trailing-edge/ELV) dimmers matched to the load fix it, the most common issue we solve in retrofits.
Yes, retrofit LED inserts snap into existing housings in minutes, run cool, and rescue the energy the old BR30s waste. Full wafer conversion is the step up.
Bulk bulb-and-dimmer work often pays back in 1–2 years on energy alone; add 15–25-year lamp life and the case makes itself. Utility rebates sweeten some markets.
