Incandescent to LED Landscape Lighting Retrofit
Incandescent landscape lighting bulbs burn out frequently, waste the majority of their energy as heat, and are increasingly difficult to source as manufacturers phase them out. Bright Arbor replaces incandescent landscape systems with modern LED technology that delivers better light, far lower energy use, and practically no ongoing bulb replacement.
Benefits of Switching from Incandescent to LED
- Up to 85 percent reduction in electricity consumption
- LED lifespan of 30,000 to 50,000 hours vs. 1,000 to 2,000 for incandescent
- Consistent color output with no color shift as bulbs age
- Lower transformer load allows expansion of the system without a new transformer
- No UV or infrared emission means less heat damage to plants lit from close range
Module Swap vs. Full Fixture Replacement
Many incandescent landscape fixtures accept a direct LED module swap into the existing housing, preserving your investment in the fixture body and mounting. When housings are corroded, cracked, or no longer watertight, we replace the entire fixture with an LED-native unit. We assess each fixture individually and recommend the most cost-effective path before any work begins.
Replacement incandescent landscape bulbs are increasingly hard to find at local retailers as the technology is phased out, and online sources often ship bulbs that arrive broken or fail within weeks in Florida's heat. Retrofitting to LED eliminates the sourcing problem permanently. The lower wattage draw also reduces transformer operating temperature, which extends transformer life in our climate.
