Brighter common areas that cost less to run every month.
Parkade and hallway lights run around the clock, which makes old fluorescent and HID fixtures a permanent drain on the operating budget - and dim, flickering parkades feel unsafe. LED retrofits are among the few strata projects that genuinely pay for themselves, usually within a few years.
Name the areas that need attention, and we’ll have lighting contractors who retrofit strata buildings price the work - costs and projected energy savings side by side, so the council sees the payback before deciding.

Common questions
Lighting Upgrades questions councils ask
- How much can a strata save with LED lighting?
- For 24/7 areas like parkades and corridors, LED retrofits typically cut those fixtures’ energy use by half or more, and maintenance drops because LEDs last years longer than tubes and ballasts. Payback for always-on areas commonly lands in the two-to-five-year range - a good proposal will calculate it from your actual fixture counts and rates.
- Are there rebates for strata lighting upgrades in BC?
- BC Hydro has run incentive programs supporting energy-efficiency retrofits, including lighting, for eligible buildings. Offerings change over time, so ask bidders to identify current programs and handle applications - experienced retrofit contractors treat rebate paperwork as part of the job.
- Is an LED retrofit disruptive to residents?
- Minimally. Most retrofits swap fixtures or lamps area by area with no interruption to suites - a parkade or a few corridor floors per day. Emergency-lighting circuits need proper handling and testing, which is one reason to use licensed contractors rather than treating it as a handyman job.
