Retrofitting
Retrofitting allows our team to update your current lighting system with energy-efficient LEDs. When we retrofit your system, it can allow you to preserve your current fixtures. While we can replace your fixtures entirely with our custom made fixtures, if you are happy with your current system, we can update what you have with LED lighting. Replacing your old fixtures may be in your best interest, however, as newer fixtures will run better. All of our fixtures are made out of long-lasting, weather-resistant brass.

Do we work on other lighting companies' systems?
Can my lights be retrofitted for LEDs or do I need completely new fixtures?
Often, we are easily able to retrofit existing fixtures. However, this depends on a case by case basis. There are a few things to consider when it comes to updating a system to LEDs:
Is the fixture interchangeable or is it an integrated fixture? If it is integrated, the bulb and fixture are one unit and will need to be replaced. If the fixture is interchangeable, we can retrofit the fixtures with new bulbs. However, this also depends on if the interchangeable fixtures are professionally installed or if they are consumer installed using fixtures purchased at a DIY store such as Home Depot. Our team is happy to go over your system with you and discuss your options.
Is maintenance as simple as replacing the bulb and socket?
It depends. Sometimes, it’s a matter of adjusting the voltage of the transformer, bulbs, and sockets to ensure LEDs are receiving the correct voltage. Other times, certain systems may require rewiring. This is necessary if the wire has been in the ground for 10+ years. Different things can harm the wiring over long periods of time, so safety is paramount. What you can’t see is the most important element regarding safety in landscape lighting.
Are the LED lights we install a bright white or a soft yellow light?
LEDs can be any color temperature you want and can suit many needs. The technology has come a long way. Our team at Houston Lightscapes typically uses a warm white bulb at 2700K color temperature, which is softer than bright white bulbs. That being said, we can install LEDs of any color temperature you prefer for your property.
How long are the bulbs warrantied for?
All of our bulbs are warrantied for 3 years. This ensures you get the most out of your lighting system, hassle-free.
OUR SYSTEMS TODAY USE ALL LED LIGHTS
Why do we use LED lights?
LED lights are the leading choice among lighting professionals because they are energy efficient, safe, and cost effective for customers. They emit a lower heat than other bulbs, such as high energy Halogen lights, which enhances safety and the longevity of the bulbs and lighting installations that use them.
That’s why Houston Lightscapes is proud to use this powerful and sustainable option in our lighting designs and installations.
LED lights also allow us to have more control over customizing each lighting design due to the ability to manipulate how much light emits from each bulb in the installation.
We pride ourselves on providing customers with effective, efficient, and reliable LED outdoor lighting. That’s why, as a part of our comprehensive maintenance plan, we offer Halogen to LED retrofitting.
That’s right. Our team will retrofit high-energy Halogen bulbs with energy efficient LED lights.
Most LED bulbs are manufactured to fit existing light fixtures. During maintenance, our team will switch out older bulbs with LEDs, providing higher cost efficiency and safety.
We proudly use LED bulbs from Sylvania Lighting and GE Lighting. We fit Sylvania bulbs and GE bulbs into our custom manufactured fixtures.
