Why Upgrade to Commercial LED Lighting in Canada?



Commercial LED lighting offers Canadian businesses a combination of energy savings, reduced maintenance costs and improved working environments. A typical commercial LED retrofit reduces electricity consumption by 50–70% compared to fluorescent or HID systems, with payback periods often under 3 years.

Key Commercial LED Fixture Types



LED Linear Fixtures (Troffers and Strips) — The backbone of office and retail ceiling lighting. Available in 1x4, 2x2 and 2x4 sizes, these replace fluorescent troffers with minimal installation effort.

LED High Bay Lights — Designed for warehouses and manufacturing facilities with ceiling heights of 5 to 12 metres. Available in round (UFO) and linear configurations.

LED Track Lighting — Flexible accent lighting popular in retail stores, galleries and restaurants. Allows precise product highlighting and easy reconfiguration.

LED Panel Lights — Slim panels for offices, healthcare and corridors. Excellent CRI 80+ for visual comfort and productivity.

DLC Listing and Canadian Utility Rebates



Many provincial energy-efficiency programs only accept DLC-listed fixtures, so check the DLC listing before you buy. Always submit a pre-approval application before purchasing — most programs require it.

Colour Rendering Index (CRI) for Commercial Use



CRI 80+ — Minimum for offices and warehouses.
CRI 90+ — Recommended for retail, restaurants and healthcare.

Choosing a Canadian LED Lighting Supplier



Consider warranty support, DLC certification, IES photometric files for lighting design, and experience with local utility rebate paperwork. Lumibox represents more than 100 suppliers: products ship directly from the manufacturer, typically in 3 to 5 business days depending on the supplier, and shipping costs are calculated automatically at checkout.
