LED Lighting Installation & Retrofit in Durham, NC

Touchstone Electric’s Raleigh branch completed a kitchen lighting update for YMCA of the Triangle in Durham, NC on October 22, 2024. Lead technician Cody Perry delivered a clean, energy-efficient LED upgrade that improves task lighting at the sink and modernizes existing fixtures for long-term performance.

This project falls under our Lighting & Ceiling Fans services, with a focus on professional LED lighting installation and retrofit solutions tailored to the needs of Durham homes and facilities.

Project Scope and Work Completed

• Sink Light Replacement: Removed the existing light over the sink and installed a new LED solution to provide brighter, focused illumination for daily tasks.
• Retrofit of Three Fixtures: Converted three existing luminaires to efficient LED technology, reducing maintenance needs and improving light quality.
• Direct‑Wire LED Bulbs: Installed two direct‑wire LED bulbs, professionally bypassing old ballasts for reliable, flicker‑free operation and better energy savings.
• Supplied Compatible Lights: Provided the necessary LED‑ready lights and materials to complete the retrofit cleanly and safely.
• Crew Support: An additional electrician wireman assisted to keep the project on schedule and ensure meticulous workmanship.
• Testing & Cleanup: Verified proper operation, color consistency, and code‑compliant wiring before a thorough cleanup of the workspace.

By updating the sink task light and retrofitting the other fixtures, the kitchen area now benefits from even, dependable illumination that enhances visibility and comfort.

Why Choose Direct‑Wire LED Retrofits?

• Energy Efficiency: LEDs use significantly less electricity than legacy lamps, reducing monthly utility costs in Durham’s busy kitchens and workspaces.
• No Ballast Headaches: Bypassing old ballasts eliminates a common failure point and the buzzing, dimming, or flicker that come with aging components.
• Consistent, Instant Light: Direct‑wire LEDs turn on immediately with stable brightness and color temperature.
• Lower Heat & Maintenance: Cooler operation protects fixtures and lowers the need for frequent replacements.
• Clean, Modern Look: Updated fixtures and bulbs deliver a tidy, professional finish that elevates the space.

Our team ensured safe rewiring, secure connections, and neat labeling so future maintenance is straightforward and code‑compliant.
