Replacing failed light fittings means electrician callouts, access equipment, downtime and the expense of installing a new fitting. We design and build our lights to minimise lifetime maintenance costs. Built to Last WADCO housings are built to withstand demanding environments delivering exceptional long-term performance. Easy to Service Our modular design makes servicing simple. LEDs, drivers

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

Legacy lamp technologies are becoming increasingly difficult to support and retrofitting lights makes more economic sense than replacing every fitting. But if you’re already upgrading the fitting, why stop there? More Than a Lighting Upgrade Through our partnership with Vossloh Schwabe, WADCO retrofit solutions can also incorporate a range of smart technologies as part of

For most facilities, the economics of replacing existing light fittings simply don’t stack up. The Retrofit Alternative A retrofit retains the existing luminaire housing and replaces the technology inside it. The lamp, control gear and optics are removed and replaced with modern LED technology. The housing stays in place. The result is a fully upgraded,

When a facility starts considering a move to LED, replacing every fitting often seems like the obvious answer. But have they considered the real cost? A new LED high-bay fitting might cost $200-$600. Replacing it in an operating industrial facility is another story. Hardware (fitting and accessories) ……………  $200-$600 Elevated access equipment (hire per hour)…

“Continuing to rely on halogen, fluorescent and many high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps such as metal halide and high-pressure sodium will soon be impossible.” — Malcolm Richards, CEO, Lighting Council Australia (June 2026) If you’ve tried sourcing replacement lamps recently, you’ve probably already noticed the warning signs. Lead times are increasing Prices are rising Manufacturers are

Using fewer fittings to achieve the same — or greater — light output is one of the smartest ways to reduce lighting project costs. The Metroled Streamline Series combines proprietary WADCO diffuser technology with advanced Vossloh LEDs to deliver between 19,000 and 36,000 lumens per fitting of uniform, glare-free light — significantly reducing the number

Here’s why customers buy the WADCO MetroLed High Bay. Request a site assessment — see how many fittings you can eliminate.     Less Failure. Less Maintenance. Longer Lifespan.

Business is hard enough without suppliers who let you down. Dealing with WADCO Lighting is simple and hassle-free. Easy to Justify Our fittings are designed for harsh and corrosive environments and built using industrial-grade Vossloh-Schwabe LEDs and drivers. The result is consistent performance, longer life and fewer failures. Easy to Upgrade Many facilities want LED efficiency without replacing

Don’t replace the fitting — Swap the light engine. WADCO fittings are built for long-term performance in harsh environments. Our plug-and-play Retrofit Kits are designed to upgrade existing fittings by replacing the internal light engine — eliminating the need for rewiring, ceiling modifications or full fitting replacement.
