Fluorescent Lights

Fluorescent lighting is a great low-cost, reliable choice for high-quality, energy-efficient illumination. Plus, fluorescent light technology can be installed and maintained in almost any application. This includes commercial buildings such as office space, manufacturing centers, schools, government buildings, meeting rooms, studios, and much more. Compact Flourscent Lamps, or CFLs, offer less intensive applications for residential buildings and restaurants looking for affordable and efficient lighting options.

For commercial applications and lighting retrofits, fluorescent lights have long been one of the most energy-efficient light sources available. They were first adopted for commercial use in the 1930s and began to be more widespread as the need for more efficient lighting options developed in the 1970s. Since fluorescent lighting has now matured in technology, it offers the versatility and flexibility that you need for your lighting project. No matter what the application is, there is likely a model of fluorescent lighting that will work perfectly or a fluorescent lamp that's right for almost any commercial lighting project.

When it comes to fluorescent lighting, there is an extensive variety of options. At Shine Retrofits, we offer a wide selection of fluorescent tubes and fluorescent lamps, including the aforementioned T8 and T5 lamps, plus the handy compact fluorescent lights, or CFLs, that work well for less intensive applications. For various installation types, there are lighting options as well. You can purchase efficient fluorescent tube lighting and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) for an easy retrofit replacement in either screw/Edison-base or GU24/pin-base models. This allows you to easily upgrade your traditional, less efficient lighting to fluorescent technology if you wish.

For warehouse, industrial, commercial and retail lighting installations, you can compare our T8, T5, and T5HO fluorescent lamps, which all come in a variety of lengths and wattages. One great example is the Howard Lighting T5 high output fluorescent tube. This affordable and efficient 54-watt lamp boasts a life span of 30,000 hours and a color temperature of 5000k, which means it’s perfect for work environments where clear, white light is needed.

For commercial interior, hospitality, and office retrofits check out our compact fluorescent lamps. Dimmable CFLs are ideal for jobs that demand high-efficiency light bulbs with the improved visual environment and occupant comfort that comes with controllable light levels. One of our most popular CFL lines is the Maxlite HighMax compact fluorescent lamp, ranging in light output from 40W to 250W. CFLs are also great for residential applications. Their efficient compact design is perfect for living rooms, dining areas, kitchens, and a host of other areas in the home. Compact Fluorescent Lamps come in a variety of color temperatures, which you can match to the atmosphere you want to capture in that particular room.
