Why LED Retrofits Are a Smart Investment for North Jersey Property Managers

Lower Energy Costs, Brighter Properties

For apartment complexes, condo developments, and commercial buildings across North Jersey, lighting is one of the biggest operational costs. Traditional lighting—such as incandescent or fluorescent fixtures—not only burns more energy but also requires more frequent maintenance. That’s where LED retrofits come in.

At Szigeti Electric, we specialize in upgrading outdated lighting systems to energy-efficient LED solutions. Whether you manage a multi-unit residential property or own a small commercial plaza, we can help you save money, meet code, and keep your tenants safe.

What Is an LED Retrofit?

An LED retrofit involves replacing older lighting components with modern LED technology. Depending on your building’s needs, this may include:

• Swapping fluorescent tubes with LED tubes

• Installing new LED wall packs or floodlights

• Upgrading can lights or ceiling fixtures

• Retrofitting exit signs and emergency lighting

LEDs use up to 80% less energy and can last over 50,000 hours, reducing both utility bills and the need for constant bulb changes.

Benefits for Property Managers and Owners

If you're managing multiple units or common areas, you know lighting issues lead to tenant complaints and safety concerns. Upgrading to LED offers multiple advantages:

✅ Energy Savings

LEDs reduce monthly electric costs, especially in 24/7-lit areas like hallways, garages, and stairwells.

✅ Lower Maintenance

Fewer outages mean fewer service calls and less hassle for you and your staff.

✅ Safety & Compliance

Well-lit properties reduce the risk of trips, falls, or vandalism—and help you stay code-compliant with local regulations.

✅ Enhanced Appearance

Modern LED lighting improves curb appeal, making your property look more professional and attractive to tenants.
