What Is a Retrofit?

A retrofit (or conversion) upgrades your facility’s lighting system—switching from older, inefficient technology (like metal halide, HID, or older LED) to a modern LED system—while reusing your existing infrastructure (poles, wiring, foundations).

Why Retrofit Now?

  • Rise in energy costs is eating margins
  • Aging fixtures fail more often and cost more to maintain
  • Many utilities now offer rebates or incentives for LED upgrades
  • Increasing demand for high-performance lighting for broadcast, tournaments, and safety
  • Emphasis on sustainability, carbon goals, and better spectator experience

What You Gain With a Retrofit

  • Slash energy bills (typically 50% savings)

  • Higher quality light: better uniformity, lower glare, precise optics
  • Lower maintenance & replacement costs
  • Less disruption—reuse poles, avoid full rebuild
  • Local service, faster turnaround, full warranty

Torrence Lighting Retrofit Difference

Customized Retrofit Options

Every facility is different. We design retrofit solutions that fit your existing infrastructure.  We can adapt your current poles and mounts, or we can replace the outdated fixtures with new high-performance systems.

Precision Optics and Light Control

Our electrical engineering professionals use targeted beam patterns to deliver consistent illumination on the field while minimizing glare and overspill into surrounding areas.

Smart Controls and Automation

We integrate advanced control systems for scheduling, dimming, remote diagnostics, and energy monitoring—making management simple from any connected device.  We are also the only sports lighting professionals that offer our trademarked Maintenance Access Baskets at the top of each pole.
