Brighter, Safer, and More Efficient Lighting for Homes, Offices, and Warehouses
At Legacy Industries, we design and install lighting systems that improve visibility, safety, and energy performance. From residential environments to commercial and industrial facilities, our licensed electricians deliver modern lighting installation and LED upgrade solutions across Upstate South Carolina and nearby regions. We focus on code-compliant workmanship, clean aesthetics, and measurable savings.
Why Upgrade Your Lighting?
| Benefit | What You Gain |
|---|---|
| Energy Efficiency | LED fixtures use significantly less power than traditional lamps, lowering utility bills and reducing heat output. |
| Longer Lifespan | Quality LEDs can last tens of thousands of hours, reducing maintenance and replacement costs. |
| Better Light Quality | Higher Color Rendering Index (CRI) and targeted color temperatures improve comfort, safety, and task accuracy. |
| Smart Control | Dimming, occupancy sensing, and scheduling automate savings and extend fixture life. |
| Compliance & Safety | NEC-compliant installations protect people, equipment, and inventory while meeting inspection standards. |

Our Installation Process
- Consultation & Site WalkWe review goals, current fixtures, and code requirements while noting mounting heights, ceiling types, and available circuits.
- Design & PhotometricsWe propose fixture types, optics, color temperature, and controls. Photometric reports validate target light levels by area.
- Detailed EstimateYou receive a transparent quote, options by budget, and a project timeline that suits your operations.
- Professional InstallationLicensed technicians complete the install, coordinate shutdowns if needed, and keep work areas clean and safe.
- Commissioning & TrainingWe program controls, test emergency paths, label panels, and show your team how to manage the system.
- Post-Install SupportPreventive maintenance plans and on-call service keep your lighting reliable year-round.
Choosing the Right LED & Color Temperature
| Space Type | Recommended CCT | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Residential Living Areas | 2700–3000K | Warm, comfortable light; great for relaxation and ambiance. |
| Offices & Classrooms | 3500–4000K | Neutral brightness for focus and reduced eye strain. |
| Warehouses & Production | 4000–5000K | Crisp light improves visibility, safety, and accuracy. |
| Exteriors & Security | 4000–5000K | Higher visibility for cameras and perimeter monitoring. |
CRI Guidance: 80+ is standard; 90+ recommended for retail and task-critical color accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is an LED retrofit?
A retrofit replaces older lamps/ballasts or the entire fixture with energy-efficient LED equipment designed for your space and circuitry.
Can you help choose the right fixtures?
Yes. We specify lumen output, optics, color temperature, mounts, and control methods based on your goals and code requirements.
Do LEDs require special dimmers?
Often, yes. We match dimmers and drivers to ensure smooth, flicker-free dimming and long-term reliability.
How long will my LEDs last?
Many commercial-grade LEDs are rated for long lifespans, depending on run-time, ambient heat, and driver quality.
Do you install emergency lighting?
Yes. We install and test exit signs, emergency fixtures, and battery systems to maintain safe egress.
