LED Conversion
An LED conversion replaces the light source in an existing fixture, or the fixture itself, with LED. For homes and businesses in Minneapolis, MN, and across the Twin Cities, we assess what you have in each space, plainly explain your options, carefully convert fixtures and ballasts, and thoroughly test everything, so you know exactly what changed and how it works.
We are licensed, bonded, and insured, and we hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Customers often mention on-time arrivals, fair pricing, polite service, and a clean job site, and we aim to bring that same care to every single retrofit we complete.
Fixtures, Ballasts, & Lamps
Some retrofits swap only the lamp, some replace a ballast, and others replace the whole fixture with an LED version. Which one fits depends on what you have and how you use the space. We review your existing lighting, explain the options clearly, and recommend a clear approach. For brand-new fixtures, please see our Lighting Installation page for details on that work.

Let's Talk!
What LED Retrofitting Includes
Every project begins with a careful look at your existing lighting and the space it serves, then follows a clear plan that we explain in plain language before work starts.
We begin by reviewing your existing fixtures, lamps, and ballasts and talking through how you use the space. Then we plainly explain your options, convert what makes sense, and carefully test the lighting before we leave. For businesses, we can also review lighting across a property, which some call a lighting audit. For brand-new fixtures, please see our Lighting Installation page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to questions homeowners and businesses ask about an LED retrofit in Minneapolis, MN, from fixtures and ballasts to permits, pricing, and how to get started with us.
What is an LED retrofit?
An LED retrofit converts existing lighting to LED. Depending on what you have, that can mean swapping the lamp, changing a ballast, or replacing the whole fixture. Brightness and color temperature vary between LED products, so we talk through what you want a space to feel like and recommend options. We explain what we recommend and why before we begin.
How is an LED retrofit different from lighting installation?
An LED retrofit is for existing lighting, such as fixtures and ballasts you already have, in homes and businesses. Lighting installation is for new fixtures, such as recessed lights, sconces, track lighting, and outdoor fixtures. Our Lighting Installation page covers that work. If your project involves both, tell us, and we will explain how the pieces fit together.
What happens to my fluorescent ballasts?
Some LED options work with an existing ballast, while others require the ballast to be removed or bypassed. Which applies depends on your fixtures and the LED product you choose, so we look at what you have and explain your options before we begin. We do not guess, and we tell you plainly what each approach would involve for your fixtures.
Do you retrofit lighting for businesses?
Yes, we work on lighting at homes and businesses. For a business, we can review the lighting across your property and recommend what makes sense to convert, which some call a lighting audit. Tell us about your property, how it is used, and your schedule, and we will explain how we would approach it. Our Commercial Electrical page covers our other work for businesses.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
We handle the permit for retrofit work that requires one, and we install to code. Not every retrofit needs a permit, so we tell you what applies to your project before we begin. We also explain what to expect during the inspection, and you are welcome to ask questions at any point so you know what to expect.
How is pricing handled?
We explain the cost of the work before we begin, so there are no surprises. The price depends on the number and type of fixtures, whether ballasts are involved, and what we find, so we do not quote a number before we understand your project. Tell us what lighting you have, and we will explain what the work involves and what it would cost.
