Why Retrofit Lighting with Solite Europe Ltd
As sustainability and circularity gain momentum, retrofitting has become an optimal way to modernise outdated lighting systems. Not only does it extend the lifecycle of existing luminaire housings, but it is also a cost-effective strategy to upgrade lighting efficiency.
By retrofitting with energy-saving LEDs, companies can reduce greenhouse gas emissions while improving lighting quality, comfort, and visibility. Additionally, LED retrofits offer benefits such as reduced maintenance, extended lifespan, and enhanced durability. Integrating intelligent lighting controls further optimizes energy use, driving down both consumption and costs.
Benefits of Retrofitting Lighting Systems
Opting for a retrofit lighting solution delivers a range of advantages, from economic savings and lower environmental impact to enhanced lighting performance. Solite Europe Ltd specialises in providing comprehensive retrofitting services, transforming non-LED fixtures or older LED systems to the latest high-efficiency technology. With a legacy in custom lighting solutions, Solite combines flexibility, in-house manufacturing, and engineering expertise to create solutions that align environmental, aesthetic, and financial considerations.
Preserving the Best of Both Worlds
Clients often wish to maintain the integrity of their existing infrastructure whilst upgrading as quickly as they can. Solite can meet this demand by re-engineering outdated components to retain the original luminaire housing, while updating its technology. Where needed, Solite can even produce bespoke LED circuit boards tailored to specific requirements, such as a change of us.
For any retrofit project, adequate light levels and uniformity are essential. Solite designs retrofits to match point-for-point replacement schemes or other spatial limitations, ensuring optimal lighting performance despite the challenges of older layouts. With modern LED and optical technology, Solite delivers significant improvements in lighting quality while preserving the original lighting setup.
Seamlessly Blending Tradition with Innovation
Adding Solite’s SmartScan controls to retrofitted luminaires, elevates energy efficiency by enabling wireless communication—ideal for retrofits as it requires no additional wiring. To retain the style and form of original fixtures, SmartScan Radar sensors use integrated high-frequency sensors for presence detection, offering energy savings without altering the luminaire’s physical structure.
The Retrofitting Process
Solite’s retrofit projects begin with a detailed site survey, assessing current luminaire types, locations, emergency signage, natural light sources, and existing controls. This allows precise energy calculations and design requirements. Engineers use samples or in-situ measurements to develop retrofit LED gear trays and components, ensuring perfect integration of old and new elements.
Once the solution is approved, Solite manufactures the retrofit kits and required mounting hardware at its UK facility, offering unmatched flexibility for projects of any size. With its full-service approach, Solite also provides turnkey installation and project management, ensuring seamless execution from start to finish.
By choosing Solite for your retrofit needs, you gain the benefits of improved energy efficiency, extended luminaire life, and expertly tailored lighting solutions—all crafted to elevate and modernise your space while honouring or improving its original specification.

Cleanroom Recessed Exit Sign
Recessed cleanroom exit sign
Our client wanted a recessed exit sign, for cleanroom specific application that could be recessed into cleanroom wall panels, once installed a bead of mastic is applied leaving no discernible edge, therefore eliminating any build up areas that can commonly be a problem with recessed emergency lighting.
- IP65 from the front
- Screwless Front frame
- 45mm recessed depth and 51mm in total
- ISO7010 Screen printed legends
- White or Stainless Steel frame
This project was such a success, that Solite chose to launch the Recessed Exit sign, under the Solex name and it now sits proudly within our range.

Stainless Steel Luminaire for Animal Welfare
Our client needed a luminaire for an animal welfare setting, designed with surgical-grade stainless steel and featuring circadian rhythm colour-tuneable LEDs. The unit includes:
- An inspection hatch for a 120mm Hawke transit ceiling penetration gland
- A full one-piece rear gasket with a 2mm silicone mastic channel for a complete seal to the concrete ceiling
- An IP65 body for robust protection
Additionally, the luminaire needed to be cleaned on a very regular basis, so oversized screws and retaining washers ensure the luminaire can be easily stripped and cleaned while wearing PPE, such as gloves safely and efficiently.
What we now call the Kappa SS was, designed, punched, folded, welded and assembled all in house, in our factory in Stockport, the level of finishing can be seen on the photographs and speaks volumes for the quality of our product.
