LED Retrofit Solutions for Indoor & Outdoor Aviation Lighting

LED lighting retrofit kits provide an efficient way to upgrade existing lighting systems in aviation facilities without complete fixture replacement. These solutions are designed to convert outdated HID, metal halide, or fluorescent systems into high-performance LED lighting, improving visibility, reducing energy consumption, and lowering maintenance costs.

Retrofit systems are widely used in both indoor and outdoor aviation environments, including aircraft hangars, maintenance areas, parking zones, and perimeter lighting applications.

What Are LED Retrofit Kits?

LED retrofit kits are engineered solutions that replace the internal components of existing lighting fixtures while maintaining the original housing and mounting structure. This allows facilities to upgrade lighting performance without the cost and disruption of full fixture replacement.

Retrofit kits are commonly used for:

  • High bay fixtures
  • Wall pack lighting
  • Flood lighting systems
  • Area and site lighting

Where Retrofit Lighting Is Used in Aviation

LED retrofit solutions are used across aviation environments to modernize lighting systems and improve operational efficiency.

Common Applications:

  • Aircraft hangars and maintenance facilities
  • Exterior building lighting and wall packs
  • Parking areas and access roads
  • Perimeter and security lighting
  • Equipment yards and service zones

Indoor Retrofit Applications

High Bay Lighting Retrofits

High bay retrofit kits are commonly used in aircraft hangars and large indoor facilities to replace metal halide or fluorescent systems. These upgrades improve light quality, reduce shadowing, and support maintenance operations.

Outdoor Retrofit Applications

Wall Pack Retrofits

Wall pack retrofit kits are used to upgrade exterior building lighting, improving visibility around entrances, service areas, and walkways.


Flood Lighting Retrofits

Flood lighting retrofit kits provide high-output, directional illumination for targeted outdoor areas such as hangar exteriors and perimeter zones.


Area Lighting Retrofits

Area lighting retrofit kits improve uniform illumination across larger outdoor spaces such as parking areas and facility grounds.

Benefits of LED Retrofit Kits

LED retrofit solutions provide a cost-effective alternative to full fixture replacement.

Key Benefits:

  • Reduced energy consumption
  • Lower maintenance costs
  • Improved light output and uniformity
  • Faster installation compared to full replacement
  • Extended fixture lifespan
  • Minimal disruption to operations

Retrofit vs Full Fixture Replacement

Retrofit Kits

  • Lower upfront cost
  • Faster installation
  • Reuse existing housing

Full Replacement

  • Higher cost
