I am wondering if you still replace the whole luminaire when replacing existing tunnel lighting.
No, we don’t recommend it. On one hand, the current housing can reach C5 anti-corrosion, plus it is too expensive to have new housing.
On the other hand, most clients don’t want to lose any more time on tunnel projects, choosing to convert them to modern LED technology as quickly as possible.
For the tunnel lighting replacement project, some of the clients gave us feedback that it was necessary to offer a product solution that would continue to use the existing stainless steel luminaire housings. In addition, it had to be ensured that logistics and on-site installation worked hand in hand within a strictly limited time frame. The complete conversion of the passage lighting took place during the regular maintenance weeks.
So AGC recommends you offer LED retrofit kits, that is to say, you just need to customize the LED board and LED driver to be compatible with your current housing. Below are the references by the AGC team.
All in all, the LED retrofit solution is ideal for the refurbishment of tunnel illumination with old lighting technology, HPS, or MH luminaires. It achieves advanced high-quality lighting parameters while saving time and money, using existing installations. If you are looking for a retrofit solution, the AGC team will be here to help you.
