To address the huge market potential for commercial retrofit projects, Prescolite has developed Retroficient, the industry’s first universal listed commercial retrofit downlight. The new Retroficient collection includes commercial retrofit 6” and 8” horizontal and vertical downlights to provide an easy, cost effective way to upgrade any competitive commercial housing to more energy efficient sources in existing spaces.

Available with LED and CFL options Retroficient offers:
• Energy savings for building upgrades
• Award-winning Watts Per Square Foot optics
• Quick-Link socket cup for easy assembly
• Quick and easy installation that can be done from below the ceiling
• The best solution for green retrofit applications

Additionally, its universal configuration is simple to specify as a better alternative to self-ballasted compact fluorescent lamps.
The Retroficient collection uses Prescolite’s exclusive Watts Per Square Foot Optics reflectors for use with compact fluorescent sources, which feature more lumens per watt, high fixture efficacies, and energy-saving benefits.
With new, more aggressive mandates for energy conservation in existing facilities, as well as an increased emphasis on the importance of energy-efficient lighting sources, Prescolite’s Retroficient products with Watts Per Square Foot Optics can be a great fit to meet requirements for:
o ARRA federal stimulus dollars
o LEED certified projects
o ASHRAE
o California Title 24
