Our team of certified lighting design professionals is expertly trained to seamlessly integrate the most advanced lighting controls—from simple occupancy sensors to complex Networked Lighting Controls (NLC)—into any project. We ensure you maximize your energy savings, secure the best utility incentives, and achieve a future-proof facility.

Even if your facility is already LED, integrating advanced lighting controls with your LED luminaires is a critical step in modernizing your facility. These controls move beyond simple on/off functionality, offering dynamic, automated management of lighting to dramatically increase energy efficiency, enhance occupant comfort, and reduce long-term operating costs.

Retrofit Electric's Lighting Design team holds CLMC and CLCP certifications, ensuring expert guidance and a strategic approach to your lighting and control solutions.

COLOR TUNING

Many studies show that color tuning can have a positive affect on health and well being. The science is based on biological entrainment: light influences hormonal cycles and brain chemistry, which affect mood, energy and cognitive function. Color tuning leverages this by aligning artificial lighting with natural patterns, creating environments that support health and learning. Applications include offices, classrooms, elderly care facilities and more. 

HEALTHBENEFITS
Circadian Rhythm Regulation: Exposure to cooler, blue-enriched light during the day helps maintain alertness and supports the body’s natural sleep-wake cycle. Warmer light in the evening reduces melatonin suppression, promoting better sleep.
Mood Enhancement: Proper color tuning can reduce stress and improve emotional well-being. Bright, natural light tones often boost mood and energy.
Eye Comfort: Adjusting color temperature reduces eye strain, especially in environments with prolonged screen use.

LEARNING & COGNITIVE PERFORMANCE
Improved Focus and Attention: Cooler light (around 5000–6500K) is linked to higher concentration levels, making it ideal for classrooms or workspaces.
Memory and Productivity: Studies suggest that dynamic lighting—changing color temperature throughout the day—can enhance memory retention and overall productivity.
Reduced Fatigue: Balanced lighting helps prevent mental fatigue, supporting sustained learning sessions.

Wedding and Event Spaces can also benefit from a color tuning lighting control system. Easily change the mood of the space to match the event, increasing your bookings and revenue.
