Keystone KT-RKIT40PS-14PD-8CSA-VDIM LED Panel Doorframe Retrofit Kit

Located in the Golden Triangle business district of Washington, DC is the commercial office building 1200 Nineteenth. This class A, 11-story building has received LEED-CS Platinum Certification.

The Opportunity

Property Management company Hines wanted to update lighting in their loading dock. Their current light fixtures were dark and dim causing poor visibility. These flat panel fixtures were dry-walled into a plaster ceiling and the customer wanted them replaced without having to replace or repair the ceiling.

Bay Lighting Solution

The Bay Lighting specialist recommended Keystone KT-RKIT40PS-14PD-8CSA-VDIM, a 1’ x 4’ flat panel retrofit fixture. These panel kits go right in to their existing housings without having to rip anything out the ceiling. The replacement fixtures will make a huge improvement in the lighting, and save thousands on a new ceiling.

The Outcome

The customer was very pleased with the finished product. The space is no longer dark and the property is saving with LED technology.

    Commercial buildings rarely remain exactly as they were originally designed. Offices add and remove walls. Tenants move in and out. Workstations shift. Warehouses change racking configurations. Classrooms take on new functions. Multifamily amenity spaces are renovated to meet changing resident expectations. The lighting system, however, is often designed as though the original floor plan will remain permanent. When fixtures, sensors, and lighting controls are tied too closely to one specific layout, even a relatively straightforward renovation can create additional work. Fixtures may no longer be positioned appropriately, controls may not correspond with the new rooms, and electrical components may need to be relocated or replaced.

    Anyone comparing commercial LED lighting products will quickly encounter the term "DLC Listed." It may appear on a manufacturer's specification sheet, in a distributor's product description, or among the requirements for a commercial lighting rebate. For building owners and facility managers planning an LED lighting upgrade, seeing a product on the DLC Qualified Products List can provide useful information about its performance. But a DLC listing does not answer every question about a fixture.
