Cooper Lighting, an industry leader committed to delivering innovative products and driving transformational technology in the lighting industry, has introduced a series of four contractor-friendly Metalux fluorescent retrofit kits designed to meet and exceed today’s energy needs and guidelines while improving light quality. The Metalux Commercial, OpticaHP, Archos™ and Cruze™ retrofit kits consists of architecturally-inspired designs that update a building’s look and value, while offering a wide range of features and benefits that save energy, time and money when compared to similar new construction T8 or T5 luminaire offerings.
 
Featuring Cooper Lighting’s Advanced Retrofit Technology™, the retrofit kits include unique construction features, such as one-piece tool-less reflectors with “squeeze and fit” mounting capability and Ready-Set™, the industry’s first patented captive and secure self-tapping screws. Additional contractor-friendly features include pre-wired ballast and assembly, no parts bag, and fast, easy installation in less than 10 minutes. These new retrofit kits fit into most existing luminaires and can upgrade troffers and parabolics as shallow as 3-1/2 inches. Available in 2' x 2' and 2' x 4' sizes with T5/T5HO and T8 lamp options, these kits can provide up to 60 percent energy savings over standard three- or four-lamp T12 or T8 luminaires.
 
Metalux’s Commercial, OpticaHP, Archos™ and Cruze™ retrofit kits were developed around one platform that combines the latest optical, energy-saving lamp and ballast technology to create an environment that consumes less energy without any loss in effective lighting. In addition, Cooper’s retrofit kits offer an optional WhiteOptics™ reflector. This highly reflective substrate improves light output, quality and distribution over existing luminaires that use specular aluminum in many educational, office and retail environments today.
 
Unlike the Metalux Commercial, OpticaHP, Archos™ and Cruze™ retrofit kits from Cooper Lighting, many current industry retrofit solutions offer energy savings without improving upon the lighting quality or aesthetics within the workspace.
 
Cooper Lighting has made a significant investment in people, resources and technology to ensure the company provides first-class solutions to its customers’ lighting challenges, offering a range of indoor and outdoor LED lighting products and corresponding accessories, all of which are specifically designed to maximize energy and cost savings.
