Retail and Commercial Office Space Lighting & Industrial Lighting

Retail stores, commercial office buildings, and industrial facilities often require similar lighting installations, primarily used in indoor environments. If your business is facing lighting challenges or you wish to upgrade to a new lighting type, contact Turning Point Electric for assistance with the following:

• Incandescent Lighting While many offices and retail locations are transitioning to more energy-efficient lighting, incandescent lighting, particularly halogen lamps, is still prevalent for illuminating retail products. Although incandescent technology has remained largely unchanged since its invention by Thomas Edison in 1879, we recommend upgrading to more energy-efficient alternatives to enhance performance and reduce energy costs.
• Fluorescent Lighting Commonly used in offices and retail settings, fluorescent lighting effectively spreads overhead light across large areas. These lamps are approximately four times more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs. However, as they age, they may begin to hum and flicker, which can be disruptive. Fluorescent lamps come in three main types:
  • T12 Fluorescents: The most widely used type.
  • Magnetic Ballast Lamps: Initially inexpensive to install but less efficient than electronic ballast options.
  • T5 & T8 Fluorescents: The most energy-efficient standard fluorescent lamps, ideal for general large-area lighting.
• Services Include:
  • Fluorescent bulb replacement
  • Ballast replacement
  • Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs)
• Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) CFLs use about 70% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs and last approximately ten times longer. While they take 30 seconds to 3 minutes to reach full brightness and contain a small amount of mercury, making them hazardous if broken, they remain a popular choice for energy savings.
• LED Lighting LED bulbs illuminate instantly when powered on and are 75% more efficient than incandescent bulbs, with lifespans ranging from 20,000 to 50,000 hours. Although initially more expensive, LED prices are decreasing, making them a popular choice for offices and retail spaces across Central Florida. Read more about LED lighting upgrades.
• Metal Halide and High-Pressure Sodium Lamp Repair and Replacement Metal halide lamps produce bright white light with a high color-rendering index, ideal for exterior lighting, sports fields, parking lots, and industrial applications. High-Pressure Sodium Lamps generate light by passing an electric arc through gas mixtures, producing red and orange hues that support plant growth, making them suitable for large industrial settings and streetlights. Turning Point Electric’s commercial electricians are skilled in repairing and replacing both metal halide and high-pressure sodium lamps. Contact us for assistance with your MH or HPS lighting needs.
• Wall Pack Service and Replacement Wall pack lighting is the most common outdoor lighting fixture for commercial and industrial buildings in Central Florida. Mounted on the exterior walls, these fixtures provide powerful, high-intensity light over expansive outdoor areas. Many businesses are now upgrading to newer wall pack models that reduce light pollution while maintaining safety and security in all weather conditions. Turning Point Electric can service and replace wall packs as needed or help you upgrade to more energy-efficient models.
• Battery Back-Up Exit Sign and Emergency Lighting Replacement Emergency lighting and exit signs are critical safety components for any commercial or industrial lighting plan, governed by local building and fire codes. Turning Point Electric offers replacement and maintenance services for battery back-up exit signs and emergency lighting to ensure compliance with safety regulations and protect your employees and clients.
• LED Upgrades Numerous businesses in Central Florida are upgrading their existing light fixtures to energy-efficient, long-lasting LED lights with the help of Turning Point Electric’s commercial electricians. In many cases, we can retrofit existing fixtures for LED upgrades, and when necessary, perform full LED lighting replacements. The long-term energy savings make these upgrades a worthwhile investment.
