LED Projects & Retrofits

Industrial lighting is more than visibility — it’s about performance, safety, and efficiency.
Outdated fluorescent or metal-halide fixtures waste energy, raise utility costs, and make work environments dim and unsafe.

At The Wire Nuts, we design and install industrial-grade LED lighting and retrofit systems that transform how your facility looks and operates.
From warehouses to production floors, our lighting upgrades deliver better illumination, lower maintenance, and measurable energy savings.

Why Upgrade to LED

LED technology has advanced dramatically, making it the clear choice for modern industrial environments.

The benefits speak for themselves:

  • Up to 70% energy savings compared to fluorescent or HID lighting

  • Longer lifespan — 50,000–100,000 hours before replacement

  • Smarter controls — occupancy and daylight sensors for efficiency

  • Instant brightness with no warm-up time

  • Eco-friendly — no mercury, less heat output, and lower carbon footprint

Most facilities see a complete payback within 18–24 months through reduced energy and maintenance costs — often faster when paired with Wisconsin energy rebates.
