Commercial Lighting Installation Retrofitting in Altadena

Most commercial lighting projects require a permit, even for one-for-one LED retrofits with new controls. Los Angeles County Building and Safety typically issues simple permits over the counter; projects with new circuits or panel work may need plan check (1–3 weeks). Fire survivors benefit from streamlined review. We provide Title 24 forms and coordinate inspections and acceptance testing.

Savings vary by hours and building type, but most retail, office, and light industrial spaces see 50–70% lower lighting energy use. For a 3,000 sq. ft. space, annual savings can be significant, plus reduced maintenance. Southern California Edison incentives can offset 10–30% of project costs, improving payback to 1–3 years in many cases.

Yes. We frequently schedule work after hours or in phased zones for retail, restaurants, and offices reopening post-fire. We protect merchandise and equipment, maintain safe egress, and coordinate power shutdowns. Most installations finish in 1–5 days, and we handle cleanup, programming, and commissioning before you open for business.

For properties in Altadena’s foothill environment, we specify weather-rated fixtures with powder-coated finishes, stainless hardware, sealed optics (IP65+), and UV-stable lenses. We use corrosion-resistant conduit fittings and anti-seize on fasteners. Photocells or wireless nodes enable reliable scheduling, and full cutoff optics reduce glare and light spill to neighbors.
