Litetronics International Inc. has announced the expansion of its LED RetroFit Kit family, a broad line of products that upgrade all types of fluorescent fixtures to LED technology in as little as three minutes. Specifically, the 1-foot-by-4-foot portion of Litetronics’ total RetroFit Kit family now features new products and enhancements such as increased lumen output and enhanced daisy chain capability, making products eligible for use in a wider range of applications.
Adding to its line of 32 Watt 1-foot-by-4-foot LED RetroFit Kits, Litetronics’ new 16 and 45 Watt RetroFit Kits address the market’s broad range of ceiling heights and applications, with their 16 Watt one-tube products offering a way to upgrade fixtures using slim-line fluorescent tubes and their 45 Watt products offering lumen outputs comparable to many T8 and T12 High Output fluorescent tubes. All of these high-efficiency products drive reductions in energy consumption while minimizing maintenance costs and ensuring color consistency between fixtures.
While all of the Litetronics LED RetroFit Kits enable the conversion of a single fixture from fluorescent to LED technology in minutes, the connectability enhancements now available within Litetronics’ 1-foot-by-4-foot RetroFit Kit family further reduce installation time per fixture by simplifying in-line installations, an advantage that’s appealing in large retail, cove lighting, and manufacturing strip fixture installations. Installers can electrically link more RetroFits from one power source – chaining together up to 36 one-tube 16 Watt RetroFit Kits, 12 two-tube 45 Watt RetroFit Kits, or 18 32 Watt RetroFit Kits (up from the 9 that could be chained together with the previous-generation 32 Watt RetroFits). The ability to directly daisy-chain more RetroFit products reduces installation time by eliminating the need to have each fixture wired into the branch power.
Litetronics’ expanded 1-foot-by-4-foot RetroFit line also includes accessories such as 8-inch and 4-foot direct jumper cables, which provide the flexibility to address curves and gaps in
the lighting layout. The single-tube 16 Watt 1-foot-by-4-foot RetroFit Kit delivers 2,200 lumens while the 45 Watt 1-foot-by-4-foot RetroFit Kit delivers 6,300 lumens.
All of the products in Litetronics’ 1-foot-by-4-foot, 2-foot-by-2-foot and 2-foot-by-4-foot RetroFit Kit families are available in 3500, 4000, and 5000 Kelvin color temperatures, offer an 85,000-hour rated life, feature earth magnets to secure the product in place during installation, and carry a 7-year warranty.
