LED Retrofits

Improve Signage Performance with LED Retrofits

Commercial LED sign retrofits improve signage visibility while reducing energy use and long-term maintenance costs. Outdated lighting can make your signage less visible, increase operating costs, and require more frequent repairs. An LED retrofit updates existing signs and lighting systems with energy-efficient LED components without requiring a complete replacement.

LED retrofits can help businesses:

• Improve sign brightness and visibility
• Reduce energy consumption and operating costs
• Minimize maintenance and lighting outages
• Extend the useful life of existing signage
• Create safer, better-lit exterior areas

PSCO Sign Group evaluates your current signage and lighting to recommend the right retrofit solution for your needs, budget, and locations.

Considering When Should You Consider an LED Retrofit?

An LED retrofit may be a practical alternative to replacing your entire sign or lighting system. PSCO can assess your existing equipment and develop a conversion plan based on its condition, performance, and energy use.Consider an LED retrofit if you are experiencing:

• Dim, uneven, or inconsistent lighting
• Frequent outages or service calls
• Rising energy and maintenance costs
• Outdated fluorescent, neon, or other traditional lighting
• Poor sign visibility at night
• Inconsistent lighting across multiple locations

Depending on the existing system, PSCO can replace outdated lamps, fixtures, and electrical components with commercial LED alternatives designed to improve performance and reliability.

Benefits of LED Sign Retrofits

• Brighter, cleaner, and more consistent illumination
• Lights that can last up to 100,000 hours
• Lower energy consumption and electricity costs
• Reduced maintenance and fewer replacements
• Instant illumination with no warm-up time
• Better light distribution
• Reliable performance in low temperatures
• Five-year manufacturer’s warranty
• Available rebate programs
• A shorter payback period

LED retrofits can also provide more consistent long-term performance than traditional metal halide lighting, which can lose 50% of its light output after reaching approximately half of its expected lifespan.

PSCO’s Approach to LED Retrofits

Every LED retrofit begins with an evaluation of your existing signage and lighting program. PSCO works to understand your current equipment, performance concerns, maintenance needs, and efficiency goals before recommending an LED conversion plan.

Depending on the condition and type of system, the recommended approach may involve replacing outdated bulbs, fixtures, or internal lighting components with LED alternatives. This allows businesses to improve illumination and energy efficiency while continuing to use existing signs and lighting infrastructure where appropriate.

PSCO’s approach focuses on:

• Identifying outdated or underperforming lighting
• Evaluating current maintenance and energy concerns
• Recommending LED options suited to the existing system
• Improving brightness, visibility, and lighting consistency
• Supporting upgrades across individual or multiple locations
