LED Is Usually the Fastest Payback Available. It's Also the Easiest to Get Wrong.
Fixture counts get estimated instead of counted. Replacements get specced on wattage alone, ignoring the hours they actually run. And the retrofit gets sold as a package rather than built from what's in your buildings.

The Audit Is a Fixture Count, Not an Estimate.
We walk the buildings. Type, wattage, quantity, mounting height, and — the part that gets skipped — how many hours each area actually runs.
A shop light burning two hours a day and a barn light burning sixteen are completely different economics on identical fixtures. Which is why a retrofit priced per fixture, rather than per operating hour, gets the sequence wrong: you end up paying to replace the lights that cost you the least.
Why This Often Comes Before Solar.
Reducing what you consume is usually cheaper than generating what you consume. On many operations, lighting is the largest single load that can be cut without changing how you work.
It also changes the solar math. Cut your consumption first and the correctly-sized array is smaller — which means the solar quote you'd have accepted six months ago was for a system you no longer need.
Whether that ordering applies to you depends on your load profile and your rate class. Sometimes lighting is the whole answer. Sometimes it barely moves the number.
What We Handle
Fixture-by-fixture inventory with operating hours
Specification by area and use, not a blanket swap
Contractor selection and bid coordination
Rebate and incentive applications where available
Verification that what got installed matches what was specced

After the retrofit cuts your load, the correctly-sized array is smaller — we spec it to the reduced number.
