LED Retrofit Kit Saves on Installation Labor Expenses

The Metalux Cruze LED Retrofit Kit provides installation ease for customers wanting to upgrade from fluorescent luminaires to LED technology without the need to install a new fixture.

Power management company, Eaton, has introduced the Metalux Cruze LED Retrofit Kit, a solution featuring installation ease for customers wanting to upgrade from fluorescent luminaires to LED technology without the need to install a new fixture. Saving on installation labor costs, the LED system features solid state lighting and driver technology for optimal performance, while providing energy savings of more than 50 percent compared to select fluorescent fixtures.

Ideal for offices, healthcare, educational and retail applications, the LED retrofit kit utilizes the existing fluorescent luminaire housing to save on the cost of purchasing a complete fixture, while also reducing material disposal cost in a retrofit project.

The light-emitting diode system with an optional design provides light uniformity while delivering efficacy of up to 138 lumens per watt. Available in 2-feet by 2-feet and 2-feet by 4-feet sizes, four stocked lumen levels and two color temperatures at more than 85 color rendering index, the product is designed to last 60,000 hours at 75 percent lumen maintenance.

The Metalux Cruze Retrofit Kit is available with a variety of control options including an optional integrated sensor system, optimized to meet energy codes for occupancy sensing and daylight harvesting. Factory wired for out-of-the-box operation using default setting, the system reduces time and complexity with no additional wiring and adds lighting control without commissioning. If the application demands more, an optional handheld remote is available for field adjustments to make changes to one or more fixtures.

In addition, the retrofit kit is available with Eaton connected lighting systems, including the WaveLinx Wireless Connected Lighting System and the LumaWatt Pro Connected Lighting System powered by Enlighted. The WaveLinx wireless system has a no new wires system that eliminates the cost and complexity of meeting code and programming advanced control systems while providing a reconfigurable wireless topology for on the fly space adjustments through a mobile app. The LumaWatt Pro system powered by Enlighted allows enterprise customers to take advantage of advanced LED lighting technologies and wireless sensing capabilities to acquire data on lighting energy performance, space utilization, real time location services and building system integration.

The product is DesignLight Consortium qualified, making it eligible for energy rebates.
