Lamps & Retrofits

Upgrade your building with LED lamps and retrofit kits that cut energy costs, improve light quality, and last for years. Browse the categories below for selectable kelvin bulbs, multi-use retrofits, selectable corn lamps, and direct-wire ballast bypass solutions for your next project.

Upgrade your facility with LED lamps and retrofit kits designed for efficiency, flexibility, and long-term savings. From easy screw-in bulbs to high-output retrofit solutions, modern LED upgrades do more than improve light levels — they reduce maintenance, lower energy costs, and create safer, more productive spaces. At Central Lighting Service, we offer a complete selection of general lamps, retrofit kits, corn lamps, and ballast bypass solutions, all backed by long lifespans and reliable performance.

Why Choose LED Lamps & Retrofits?

  • General Lamps: Replace outdated bulbs with selectable kelvin LED bulbs that allow you to adjust color temperature for any setting.
  • Multi-Use Retrofits: Upgrade existing housings with multi-use retrofit kits that deliver LED efficiency without a full fixture replacement.
  • Selectable Corn Lamps: Achieve powerful output in warehouses, gyms, or parking structures with high-output LED corn lamps featuring field-selectable color temperatures.
  • Direct Wire Ballast Bypass: Improve reliability and cut out ballast failures with direct-wire LED lamps that run directly on line voltage.
  • LED Stripes: Add versatile linear illumination with Sloan LED stripes, perfect for accent, display, and architectural lighting applications.

Create the Right Solution for Every Project

Whether you’re relamping offices, upgrading warehouse fixtures, or modernizing retail displays, LED lamps and retrofits offer unmatched versatility. Choose warm white tones for hospitality and common areas, neutral lighting for classrooms and offices, or daylight settings for warehouses and task-focused environments. With dimmable and color-selectable options available, you can tailor every space to your exact needs while reducing costs and simplifying maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lamps & Retrofits

Which LED products should I start with for most upgrades?

Begin with general lamps for quick screw-in replacements. For legacy housings, use multi-use retrofits to get LED performance without replacing the entire fixture.

What color temperature (Kelvin) should I choose?

Use 2700–3000K for warm, welcoming areas; 3500–4000K for offices and classrooms; and 5000K for task-heavy or warehouse spaces. Most general lamps and selectable corn lamps offer CCT selection on the product.

When should I use selectable corn lamps?

Choose corn lamps for high-output applications like warehouses, gymnasiums, parking structures, and pole fixtures. They deliver powerful lumens with field-selectable CCT to match site standards.

What is direct-wire ballast bypass and why use it?

Direct-wire ballast bypass removes the fluorescent/HID ballast and powers the lamp from line voltage. Benefits include higher reliability, fewer failure points, and better efficiency. Always follow wiring diagrams and local codes.

Can I dim these lamps or use them with smart controls?

Many retrofits and general lamps are dimmable—check the spec sheet for compatible dimmers. They also work with smart switches and timers when the control matches the product’s dimming type.

Where do Sloan LED stripes make sense?

Sloan LED stripes are designed to emulate neon tubing. They are ideal for outlining canopies, signage, and architectural features on commercial buildings, providing bright, uniform light in a durable, low-maintenance form.

How do I size lumen output for a retrofit?

Match or slightly reduce legacy wattage by using LEDs with higher efficacy (lumens per watt). For high-bay or pole applications, consider corn lamps; for office or corridor fixtures, choose multi-use retrofits sized to the room’s target foot-candles.

Do LED lamps and retrofits qualify for utility rebates?

Many do. Products such as general lamps, retrofits, and corn lamps often qualify if DLC/ENERGY STAR listed. Ask us to review your project for rebate eligibility.
