Lighting Upgrades & Retrofits
Modern Lighting Solutions For Your Facility
If you manage a commercial building, warehouse, campus, or other busy facility, you know how much your lighting affects safety, costs, and day-to-day operations. When systems are outdated or failing, it becomes harder to control expenses and provide a reliable environment for the people who rely on your space.
At LMS Lighting, Electrical & Signs, we help businesses in Salt Lake City and the surrounding area plan and complete practical lighting improvements that fit real-world operations. Our team focuses on solutions that perform, so you can reduce headaches from constant repairs and inconsistent light levels.
LMS Lighting, Electrical & Signs is a trusted lighting contractor with regional roots and a growing multi-state footprint. Founded and led by industry professional Kyle McClelland, we bring technical knowledge, a leadership-driven culture, and a customer-first approach to every project.
Why Upgrade Your Lighting
Many facilities in and around Salt Lake City still rely on outdated lighting systems that use more energy, provide uneven coverage, and require frequent maintenance. Over time, this can increase operating costs and make spaces less comfortable and safe.
Upgrading your lighting is about more than replacing fixtures. A well-planned retrofit can reduce energy use, lower maintenance needs, and improve visibility throughout your space. Better lighting supports productivity in offices, enhances displays in retail settings, and helps improve safety in warehouses and work areas.
When we plan a lighting upgrade, we consider how your building is used throughout the day and across seasons. The goal is to create a system that fits your operations—delivering consistent, efficient lighting where and when you need it.
Benefits of upgrading include:
- Lower energy consumption and utility costs
- Reduced maintenance and fewer replacements
- Improved visibility and safety
- Better lighting quality for work and customer spaces
- A system designed around your building’s actual use
The result is lighting that works smarter for your facility, not against it.
Our Approach To Retrofits
Successful lighting upgrades start with a clear understanding of your current system and your goals. We take a structured approach that allows us to recommend practical paths forward without adding complexity to your day. Each facility is evaluated on its own, so your plan reflects your spaces, schedules, and budget.
We also recognize that many properties in the area cannot afford major disruptions. Our team works to coordinate around your operations, whether you oversee a distribution center that runs extended shifts or an office building with tenants in every suite. Communication and accountability are central to how we manage each phase.
Here is what you can typically expect when we plan a lighting retrofit with you:
- Initial review where we look at your existing lighting, talk through issues you are facing, and discuss your goals for efficiency, maintenance, and light quality.
- Project options that outline practical upgrade paths, such as targeted fixture changes or broader system improvements, so you can compare approaches before deciding how to move forward.
- Phased scheduling built around your operating hours to help limit disruption for tenants, staff, and visitors while work is completed.
- Installation coordination managed by our team, with attention to safety, cleanliness, and clear communication so you always know what is happening in your facility.
- Ongoing support after your project is complete, with service options that help maintain performance and address future needs as your building evolves.
Because LMS is founded and led by Kyle McClelland, with a team that shares a strong focus on accountability, you are never treated as a one-time project. We work to build a long-term relationship so you have a lighting partner who understands your properties and can support them over time.
Lighting Solutions For Salt Lake City Facilities
Facilities in the Salt Lake City area range from dense office buildings and retail centers to industrial sites, campuses, and public buildings. Each of these environments places different demands on lighting, from long operating hours to unique safety and wayfinding requirements. A single product set rarely fits all of them well.
Our team works with decision-makers who oversee spaces such as distribution and logistics buildings along regional corridors, multi-tenant offices near downtown, and institutional facilities that serve the community. We pay close attention to how these sites operate during darker winter months and at times when occupants are most active.
For example, a warehouse with high ceilings and heavy equipment may prioritize clear vertical illumination and durability, while a professional office may focus on balanced light that supports workstations and meeting rooms. We take these differences seriously and design lighting improvements with each environment in mind.
Many clients also operate beyond one property. Because LMS supports locations across multiple states, we can help you pursue consistent lighting standards across your portfolio while adjusting details to fit the specific needs of buildings in this area. Our goal is to provide coordinated support without losing sight of local conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a lighting retrofit disrupt our operations?
We work to plan lighting projects around your operations so disruption is limited. Our team coordinates schedules, phasing, and access with you, and we can often complete work during off hours or lower-traffic times. The exact approach depends on your facility layout and operating schedule.
Can your team work with our existing fixtures?
In many cases we can evaluate whether your existing fixtures are good candidates for retrofit solutions. When that is practical, it may reduce material and labor needs. If fixtures are in poor condition, we will discuss replacement options and help you weigh the tradeoffs for your building.
How do I know if a lighting upgrade is worth it?
We look at your current lighting performance, maintenance patterns, and energy use, then discuss your goals. By comparing existing conditions with potential improvements, we can help you understand where a project may create value. The decision ultimately depends on your budget, priorities, and timeline.
How long does a typical upgrade project take?
Project length depends on facility size, scope of work, and access. Smaller areas can often be completed more quickly, while larger campuses or multiple buildings take longer. During planning, we outline a schedule with you so you understand how work will be phased and how it aligns with your operations.
Can you support multiple locations in our portfolio?
Yes, our team serves clients with single sites and those with properties across several states. We work to apply consistent standards where helpful while adjusting plans for each building. This approach can simplify management for regional and multi-state portfolios while still respecting local needs at each facility.
