Frequently Asked Questions
How much does industrial lighting installation cost?
There isn't a single flat rate because every facility has different ceiling heights, fixture counts, and access requirements. However, most of our industrial retrofit projects generally fall between $20,000 and $150,000+ before rebates. Government incentives like the Save on Energy program can cover up to 50% of these project costs. When we provide your free assessment, we give you a detailed quote that outlines the gross cost, the estimated rebate, and your final net investment.
How long does installation take?
We know downtime is the enemy, so we work around your schedule. A typical mid-sized warehouse (approx. 50,000 sq. ft.) usually takes about 2 to 3 weeks to complete. We often work evenings, weekends, or in phased sections to ensure your operations never have to stop. We’ll establish a clear timeline during the planning phase so you know exactly when our licensed electricians will be on-site and when they’ll be done.
What is the lifespan of industrial LED lighting?
Industrial LED fixtures are built for long-term performance, typically L70 rated for 50,000 to 100,000+ hours, meaning they maintain most of their brightness over time rather than failing suddenly. In a standard single-shift facility (around 2,500 hours per year), this translates to nearly maintenance-free lighting for up to 20 years. Even in 24/7 operations, they can last close to a decade before replacement is needed. Compared to metal halide or fluorescent systems that often require re-lamping every couple of years, the reduction in maintenance alone can offset a large part of the upgrade cost.
What is the difference between high bay and low bay lighting?
It comes down to ceiling height and beam angle. High bay fixtures are designed for ceilings 20 to 45 feet high (like warehouses) and use focused optics to push light down to the floor without scattering. Low bay fixtures are meant for ceilings 12 to 20 feet high and have wider beam angles to spread light evenly without creating glare. Using the wrong type results in dark spots or blinding glare, which is why our photometric design process is so critical.
Can lighting improve workplace safety?
Absolutely. Poor lighting is a leading cause of workplace accidents, from trips and falls to forklift collisions. Upgrading to industrial LEDs increases visual acuity, meaning your team can see labels, machinery, and obstacles clearly. Higher CRI (Colour Rendering Index) also means safety signage pops and colours look accurate. By eliminating the flicker and buzzing of old ballasts, you also reduce eye strain and fatigue, which keeps workers alert and safer during long shifts.
Do you provide maintenance after installation?
Yes, though with modern LEDs, you won't need much of it. We stand behind our work with comprehensive labour warranties on top of the manufacturer’s 5-to-10-year product warranty. If a driver fails or a fixture goes out within the warranty period, we handle the replacement. We also offer ongoing maintenance packages for larger facilities that want regular inspections, cleaning, and sensor calibration to ensure the system stays as efficient as day one.
Which LED high bay light would you recommend for a large warehouse with tall ceilings?
For open warehouse floors with ceilings over 25 feet, we typically recommend UFO LED high bays due to their intense, focused light output and rugged durability. However, if your facility has tall racking and narrow aisles, linear LED high bays are often the better choice because they push light directly down the aisles rather than wasting it on the tops of shelves. We determine the exact fixture during your free photometric assessment.
Are there differences between lighting for residential contractor work and industrial contractor sites?
Absolutely. Residential lighting focuses on aesthetics, standard 120V power, and lower ceilings. Industrial lighting requires heavy-duty engineering. Our industrial fixtures are built to withstand extreme temperatures, heavy machinery vibrations, and constant 24/7 operation. They operate on higher voltages (277V–480V) and often require specialized IP65 or explosion-proof ratings. Installing these systems also demands strict adherence to CSA standards and facility-specific safety codes that residential contractors simply don't encounter.
