What We Upgrade

Every Fixture Type, One Contractor

From office troffers to warehouse high-bays to parking lot poles — we handle the full scope of commercial and industrial LED conversion.

Fluorescent to LED

Fluorescent to LED

2x4 troffers, 1x4 strips, surface-mount fixtures — we replace the ballast and tubes with direct-wire LED panels or retrofit kits. 50-70% energy reduction.

Metal Halide to LED

Metal Halide to LED

Warehouse high-bays, parking lot lights, outdoor floods — metal halide takes 15 minutes to warm up and burns out fast. LED is instant-on and lasts 5x longer.

HPS to LED

HPS to LED

Parking lot poles, wall packs, area lighting — high-pressure sodium gives that orange glow. LED delivers better color, better coverage, and 60% less energy.

Exit Signs & Emergency Lights

Exit Signs & Emergency Lights

LED exit signs use 2-5 watts vs. 20-40 watts for incandescent. We replace and test backup batteries during the same visit.

Outdoor & Parking Lot

Outdoor & Parking Lot

LED wall packs, shoebox fixtures, bollards, and pole-mounted area lights. Better light distribution, reduced light trespass, and lower energy bills.

Controls & Sensors

Controls & Sensors

Occupancy sensors, daylight harvesting, dimming, and scheduling. Title 24 often requires controls when you replace more than 50% of fixtures in a space.

Our Process

Audit to Savings

From lighting inventory to rebate check — we handle the entire upgrade with zero disruption to your business.

1

Lighting Audit

We inventory every fixture, measure light levels, and calculate your current energy cost. You'll see exactly what you're spending before we quote.

2

Design & Rebates

Select the right LED replacements, calculate energy savings, and identify available PG&E rebates. We handle the pre-approval paperwork.

3

Phased Installation

Replace fixtures in phases to minimize business disruption. Weekend and after-hours work available. All wiring to NEC and Title 24.

4

Verify & Document

Measure new light levels, submit rebate documentation, and hand over warranty records. You'll have before/after energy data.

The Fox Difference

Why Fox for LED Upgrades

50-70% Energy Savings

LED uses a fraction of the power of fluorescent, metal halide, and HPS. Most Bay Area businesses see full payback in 2-3 years from energy savings alone.

PG&E Rebate Experts

We handle the entire rebate process — application, pre-approval, post-install documentation. Rebates typically cover 20-40% of project cost.

Title 24 Compliance

California energy code requires controls and efficiency standards when you upgrade lighting. We design every project for full Title 24 compliance — no failed inspections.

132 Five-Star Reviews

5.0 Google rating from 132 reviews. Commercial and residential lighting projects across the entire Bay Area.

Zero Business Disruption

Phased installs, evening and weekend work, one zone at a time. Your business stays open while we upgrade your lighting.

FAQ

LED Upgrade Questions

Do I need to replace the whole fixture or just the bulbs?

Depends on the fixture condition and your goals. Type A LED tubes work with existing ballasts (fast swap, but ballasts eventually fail). Type B tubes bypass the ballast (more reliable long-term). Full fixture replacement gives the best light quality and longest life. We'll recommend the right approach for your budget.

Will LED lighting look different from fluorescent?

Modern LEDs have excellent color rendering (CRI 80-90+). We match color temperature to your space: 3500K warm for restaurants and hospitality, 4000K neutral for offices, 5000K bright white for warehouses. Most people say it looks better than fluorescent.

What rebates are available for LED upgrades?

PG&E and local utilities offer rebates covering 20-40% of project cost for qualifying commercial LED upgrades. We handle the application, pre-approval, and post-installation documentation. Rebates change periodically — call for current availability.

What is Title 24 and does it affect my upgrade?

California's energy code (Title 24) kicks in when you replace more than 50% of fixtures in a space. It may require adding occupancy sensors, daylight dimming, or other controls. We design your upgrade for full Title 24 compliance from the start.

How much money will I actually save?

A typical 5,000 sq ft office with 100 fluorescent fixtures spends about $3,200/year on lighting energy. After LED upgrade: roughly $1,100/year. That's $2,100/year in savings. Most upgrades pay for themselves in 2-3 years, then it's pure savings for 15+ years.

Can you do the work without shutting down my business?

Yes. We phase installations to keep your business running. Evening and weekend work available at no premium for commercial LED projects. Most offices can be done one zone at a time during business hours.

What warranty do LED fixtures carry?

Quality commercial LED fixtures carry 5-10 year manufacturer warranties. Our workmanship is warrantied for 12 months. We only install fixtures from reputable manufacturers — no cheap imports that fail in 2 years.
