Retrofit in Action
WADCO assisted a large Australian food processing facility facing a challenge that is becoming increasingly common.
- Rising maintenance costs.
- Increasing difficulty sourcing replacement lamps.
- And growing pressure to improve energy efficiency.
The customer initially assumed that transitioning to LED would require the replacement of every fitting across the site.
The existing housings could be retained and upgraded using WADCO’s retrofit platform.
The result was a modern LED lighting solution delivered with significantly less disruption and at a fraction of the cost of full fitting replacement.
Most importantly, the customer achieved the outcome they were seeking:
- Improved lighting performance
- Reduced energy consumption
- Elimination of lamp replacement issues
- A platform capable of supporting future smart technologies
Across Australia, thousands of facilities are facing exactly the same challenge.
Where the Opportunity Exists
Facilities operating HPS, metal halide or mercury vapour lighting are all candidates for retrofit, including:
- Warehouses and logistics facilities
- Manufacturing and industrial plants
- Food and beverage processing facilities
- Car parks
- Infrastructure assets
Do you have a plan for when replacement lamps are no longer available?
For many organisations, that question has not yet been asked.
The earlier the conversation starts, the more options are available.
The longer it is delayed, the greater the risk of being forced into reactive decisions, higher costs and unnecessary disruption.

- Light housing assessments
- Retrofit recommendations
- Technical support
- Smart technology options through our partnership with Vossloh Schwabe
The transition away from legacy lamps is already underway.
The organisations that plan early will have more options, lower costs and less disruption than those forced to react when a critical fitting fails.
Whether you are managing a facility or supporting customers through the transition, now is the time to start the conversation.
