Pick the existing fluorescent fitting and project context to compare the source-matched Edge-Lite, Uni-Fit, Luminate and Glide replacement paths.
This tool is built for early-stage retrofit conversations. It looks at the existing fluorescent form factor, the application, the priority and the current light feel, then points toward the same product ranges used by the current Lumenloop conversion tool.
The result is a product-direction guide, not a final bill of materials, energy model or payback statement.
Panel replacements are weighted toward Edge-Lite, Uni-Fit and Luminate. T5 and T8 fittings are weighted toward Glide. Education, healthcare and refurbishment contexts push Uni-Fit higher because those projects need a more practical retrofit option.
The output does not check every detail of the existing ceiling, driver compatibility, emergency provision, access method or the exact size of the current fitting. Those still need project information.
The result shows whether the project should stay close to the existing ceiling layout or move toward a cleaner visual change. Product cards explain why each range appears and which retrofit direction it supports.
No. This is a product-direction tool. It helps compare the retrofit range before a separate energy or payback check.
If the room already feels too dim, the selection leans toward higher-output or better-distributed ranges. If it feels too bright, the result can move toward a softer or more controlled ceiling look.
It is usually the practical path for service areas, corridors, warehouse spaces and older linear installations where durability and easy retrofit are more important than a decorative ceiling finish.
Yes. Those applications are built into the weighting so the result can move toward the more believable panel, linear or protected downlight range for that setting.
The conversion result frames replacement type, output, controls, emergency provision, mounting, lead time and circularity information before product selection.
The calculator result gives a practical starting point for a commercial lighting project. Product cards carry the selected inputs into a quotation enquiry for the matched Lumenloop range.
When the estimate looks close, continue into commercial lighting upgrades to compare product ranges, mounting choices, controls, emergency options and project-configured luminaires before enquiry.
A fluorescent-to-LED conversion should begin with the existing fitting, not just the lamp description. Record the luminaire type, quantity, lamp and ballast wattage, dimensions, mounting, circuit arrangement, emergency provision and any signs of heat damage or failed components.
The replacement should be selected for the room and visual task. Matching physical size alone does not confirm suitable light distribution, glare control, colour rendering or maintained illuminance.
A purpose-designed LED luminaire can provide a clearer warranty, tested photometry and a defined driver and thermal system. It also avoids retaining aged lampholders, wiring or control gear whose condition is uncertain.
Panel apertures, suspension points, trunking positions and decorative finishes can constrain the replacement. Survey these details early and include adapters, pattresses, infill work or revised mounting arrangements in the project cost.
Identify emergency fittings before removal and confirm how the new installation will be tested. Occupancy sensing, daylight response or DALI control may improve the upgrade, but compatibility, wiring and commissioning must be specified rather than assumed.
