LED Lighting Retrofit & Installation in Orange County, CA

Still running fluorescent tubes in your garage, kitchen, or office? O’Hagan Electric replaces outdated fluorescent and incandescent fixtures with modern LED lighting that’s brighter, more energy-efficient, and longer-lasting. We retrofit existing fixtures or install brand-new LED panels and strips throughout your Orange County home, transforming dark spaces into well-lit, functional areas.

Why Choose O'Hagan Electric for LED Retrofits?

LED retrofits involve more than just swapping bulbs. Fluorescent fixtures often have ballasts that need to be bypassed or removed, and some require rewiring for direct-wire LED tubes. Our licensed electricians handle ballast bypass, fixture replacement, and proper connection to ensure your new LED lights are safe, flicker-free, and performing at their best. We work in garages, kitchens, offices, and commercial spaces throughout Orange County.

Our LED Retrofit Services

Garage LED Conversion

Replace dim, flickering fluorescent tubes with bright LED shop lights or integrated LED fixtures. We install wraparound LED panels, strip lights, and high-bay fixtures that transform your garage into a well-lit workspace.

Kitchen Fluorescent Replacement

Outdated fluorescent kitchen ceiling lights make food look unappetizing and rooms feel dated. We replace them with recessed LEDs, flush-mount LED panels, or modern fixtures that match your kitchen’s design.

LED Tube Retrofits

We convert existing fluorescent fixtures to accept LED tubes by bypassing or removing the old ballast. This preserves your existing fixtures while delivering LED efficiency and brightness.

LED Strip Lighting

We install 12V and 24V LED strip lighting under cabinets, in coves, along shelving, and in accent locations. Powered by properly installed low-voltage transformers for safe, reliable operation.

How LED Retrofit Installation Works

We make the process simple and stress-free:

  1. Assessment — We evaluate your existing fixtures, ballast types, and wiring to determine the best retrofit approach.
  2. Product Selection — We recommend LED replacements matched to your space: color temperature, brightness (lumens), and fixture style.
  3. Installation — We remove old ballasts, rewire fixtures for direct-wire LEDs, or install completely new LED fixtures as needed.
  4. Testing — We verify all lights are flicker-free, evenly bright, and operating on compatible switches or dimmers.

Why LED Upgrades Matter in Orange County

LED lights use up to 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last 25 times longer. For Orange County homeowners dealing with high electricity rates, switching to LED throughout your home can meaningfully reduce your monthly energy bill. LEDs also produce less heat, which helps in our warm climate, and contain no mercury like fluorescent tubes. It’s a win for your wallet and the environment.
