Upgrade Your Commercial Space with Modern Lighting.
Professional Commercial Interior Lighting Solutions
Your facility’s lighting is far more than a utility; it is a silent contributor to your bottom line. Subpar lighting systems are often the root cause of eye strain, lethargy, and decreased employee output. At Lumen Solutions, we replace outdated, dim environments with high-performance interior lighting tailored to your specific architectural layout. By balancing aesthetic appeal with technical precision, we ensure your facility’s first impression is as bright as your business goals.
Lighting Design for Offices, Retail & Industrial Spaces
Every commercial space requires a unique light signature to function correctly. Our layout planning services ensure that illumination is distributed precisely where it’s needed most, eliminating hazardous dark spots and wasteful over-lighting.
Glare reduction and human-centric lighting align with natural circadian rhythms, keeping teams alert and comfortable throughout the workday.
High-CRI (Colour Rendering Index) fixtures enhance product vibrancy, strategically guiding customer traffic and boosting sales potential through visual appeal.
We install heavy-duty, vibration-resistant fixtures designed to run 24/7 in demanding environments involving dust, moisture, and heavy machinery.
Code-Compliant & Energy-Efficient Installations
Navigating workplace lighting standards can be a source of significant stress for facility managers. Our team possesses an extensive understanding of the National Building Code and local municipal requirements. A code-compliant installation is not just about passing inspection; it is a vital step in mitigating liability and ensuring your facility meets all insurance and occupational health requirements.
Customized Lighting Layouts & Smart Controls
Smart infrastructure is the heart of modern energy efficiency. Our technicians integrate advanced automation into your lighting network so that not a single watt is wasted on empty spaces.
These systems automatically adjust light levels based on real-time room utilization, ensuring lights are only activated when people are present.
Commercial LED Lighting Installation & Retrofits
Over the last decade, LED technology has undergone a massive evolution. For modern businesses, switching to LED is the most effective way to realize immediate energy savings. Whether you are managing a brand-new build or a challenging facility upgrade, Lumen Solutions brings the same level of precision to every project.
A lighting retrofit does not necessarily mean you have to endure months of disruptive construction. We offer LED solutions, including panels, troffers, and high-bay fixtures, designed to fit directly into your existing grids. This approach is ideal for warehouse environments or busy office centers where a seamless transition is required without major structural changes.
The financial case for an LED transition is undeniable. By deploying systems that achieve 130–150 lumens per watt (lm/W), we provide significantly better performance than lower-tier alternatives, which often double the payback period due to poor efficacy. On average, our clients see:
- Energy Reduction: 40% to 90% reduction in lighting-related kWh.
- Typical ROI: Full payback within 1 to 3 years.
Maintenance Savings: Up to 80% reduction. Since LEDs last 50,000 to 100,000 hours, the cycle of constant bulb and ballast replacement is effectively broken. Most of our products carry a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty
To further accelerate your ROI, our team identifies and applies for local energy rebates on your behalf. Utility authorities frequently reward commercial clients for reducing peak load through energy-efficient upgrades. We handle all the technical documentation and filing to ensure you receive the maximum financial benefit available in your region.
Understanding the Federal Phase-Out & Modernization
If fluorescent tubes or metal halide lamps are still lighting your facility, you are facing a looming operational handicap. Lighting modernization is no longer an optional green initiative; it is a strategic necessity.
In Canada and across North America, many inefficient fluorescent lighting technologies are being phased out through evolving energy-efficiency regulations. As these regulations take full effect, the cost of replacement ballasts and tubes is rapidly increasing while availability plummets. Upgrading now prevents a forced upgrade later when your existing stock runs out, and the market is depleted.
Certified Removal & Recycling
Old fixtures are not just inefficient; they often contain hazardous elements like mercury. Our team is trained in the safe removal and certified recycling of these components, ensuring your business stays compliant with environmental disposal regulations while instantly brightening your workspace with eco-friendly alternatives.
Partnering with Trusted Industry Suppliers
A quality installation is only as good as the hardware behind it. Lumen Solutions partners with top-tier commercial lighting distributors and industrial suppliers to ensure our clients receive components that stand the test of time.
- Premium Brand Access: Sourcing from industry leaders known for high L70 ratings (longevity) and superior performance.
- Bulk Procurement: We manage the procurement of wholesale lighting fixtures in-house. This reduces costs and ensures that even for projects requiring thousands of fixtures, we have the stock ready to deploy.
- Warranty Support: Our direct relationships with suppliers enable us to handle any warranty claim for you, ensuring a zero-hassle replacement process that does not disrupt your schedule.

Modern offices suffer from flat overhead lighting that causes screen glare. We install Human-Centric Lighting (HCL) systems that sync with natural daylight, sustaining focus and reducing employee fatigue.
Retail & Showroom Environments
Warehouses & Distribution Centers
Safety is paramount in high-traffic logistics hubs. We ensure uniform vertical footcandles from the top shelf to the loading dock, improving picker accuracy and reducing accidents in dark zones.
Manufacturing & Industrial Facilities
We deploy vapour-tight, IP-rated fixtures designed for 24/7 heavy-duty cycles, capable of withstanding the heat, dust, and vibration of the plant floor.
Healthcare & Medical Clinics

We help school boards transition to long-life LED retrofits that eliminate maintenance calls for a decade, creating flicker-free environments that enhance student concentration.
FAQ
How long does a typical LED retrofit take to pay for itself?
Usually between 18 and 36 months. For 24/7 facilities, the increased energy savings often result in a full payback in as little as 8 to 10 months.
Can you perform installations during off-hours?
Yes. We regularly schedule night and weekend crews to ensure your operations continue uninterrupted. Your team leaves the old office on Friday and returns to a modernized facility on Monday.
What is the difference between "Type A," "Type B," and "Type C" LED retrofits?
For retrofit projects, we specialize in Type B (Internal Driver) retrofits. By bypassing the old ballast and wiring directly to line voltage, we eliminate the most common point of system failure. Type A uses the old ballast (risky and temporary), and Type C uses an external driver (more complex and expensive).
Do you handle the disposal of old mercury-containing lamps?
Absolutely. All hazardous waste is recycled by government-certified channels as part of our standard service.
How do I choose the right LED for a warehouse vs. an office?
Success depends on matching output to ceiling height. Warehouses need high-output fixtures (130+ lm/W) at 5000K, while offices require softer, tunable white panels with high colour rendering. We conduct a photometric analysis for every project to ensure optimal light levels.
