Lighting Replacement vs. Retrofit
When only looking at fixture price, schools may think replacement is the better idea. But that doesn’t account for the associated costs.
For instance, if the installers don’t have to go into the ceiling plenum to haul out an old fixture, they don’t have to worry about exposing the school environment to hazards (old school facilities are notorious for having asbestos insulation.)
Then, there is disposing of the old fixture. Recycling would be required—and recycling an old metal troffer can be expensive when you're talking thousands of them in a school.
For most schools, if they are not in the process of a new build, a retrofit is a smart option to consider. While some think replacement is faster (historically, retrofits were difficult to install), that’s not always the case. Litetronics pioneered the magnetic retrofit which can be installed in minutes.
