Can you retrofit existing parking lot pole lights to LED without replacing the poles?

Quick Answer

Yes. Lights Over Atlanta can retrofit your existing parking-lot poles with high-efficiency LED fixtures, so you keep the poles you already own. Our technicians remove old HID heads, install purpose-built LED luminaires or retrofit kits, match drivers to existing wiring, and bring everything up to code—saving you time, money, and disruption.

Detailed Answer

Upgrading your lot lighting doesn’t require tearing out sturdy steel poles. We specialize in LED outdoor lighting conversion across the greater Atlanta area for commercial and HOA properties, and many projects we complete reuse the original poles and underground wiring.

First, a certified technician inspects each pole for structural soundness and checks voltage, grounding, and fixture-mounting patterns. If the pole passes, we simply swap the outdated metal-halide or high-pressure-sodium heads for full-cutoff LED luminaires—or, when budget requires, insert an LED retrofit kit into the existing housing. We supply new drivers, photocells, or smart timers matched to your circuit so the system meets current energy and dark-sky guidelines. Because LEDs draw up to 70% less power and last 50,000+ hours, you’ll enjoy dramatic utility and maintenance savings without the capital expense of new poles or trenching.

The process is fast and turnkey. Every fixture carries a lifetime warranty, and our outdoor lighting maintenance program keeps your lot safely illuminated year-round.

With Lights Over Atlanta handling design, installation, and future service, you get brighter, safer, and more inviting parking without the hassle.
