LED Retrofits

LED Retrofits — Interior & Exterior

If your building is still running metal halide, high-pressure sodium, or old fluorescent tubes, you're paying twice: once on the power bill, and again every time somebody has to chase lamps and ballasts. LED fixes both. We retrofit sales floors, warehouses, kitchens, offices, and every exterior fixture on the property.

High-bay and shop lighting — warehouses, garages, back-of-house
Troffer and panel swaps for offices and retail
Wall packs, floods, and area lights on the exterior
Retrofit kits where the fixture's good, full replacement where it isn't
Photocells, timers, and controls sorted while we're up there

We won't throw a fake percentage at you — savings depend on what you're running and how long it burns. What we'll tell you honestly: for most buildings still on older lighting, the energy savings are typically significant, and the drop in maintenance calls is the part owners notice most. We'll look at your fixtures and give you real numbers, not brochure numbers.

Dirty Works bucket truck working pole lights in a commercial parking lot

Parking Lot & Pole

Parking Lot & Pole Lighting

Here's where owning our own bucket trucks pays off for you. A lot of contractors quote pole work, then wait a week for a lift rental. Our trucks are in the fleet, on our yard, ready to roll — when your lot goes dark, we're not on somebody else's rental schedule.

Pole light repair — lamps, drivers, ballasts, photocells, contactors
LED conversions on existing poles — better light, less power
Fixture head replacement and re-aiming
Troubleshooting circuits and underground feeds to the pole base
New pole and fixture installation for lots and drives

A dark lot isn't cosmetic. It's customers who won't stop, employees closing at night, and cameras that can't see. We diagnose at the pole and tell you straight whether it's a twenty-minute driver swap or a wiring problem worth planning around.

Canopy & Security

Canopy & Security Lighting

Gas station canopies, drive-thru lanes, QSR lots, loading docks — the lighting that keeps a business feeling open and safe after dark. Canopy work is its own animal: recessed fixtures, weathered deck pans, wiring that's been up in the heat and salt air for twenty years. We've been on plenty of canopy tops, including the rusted-out ones, and we come equipped for it.

Sign & Building

Sign & Building Lighting

Your road sign is your cheapest advertising — until half of it goes dark and it starts advertising the wrong thing. We service illuminated signs, monument signs, and building-mounted lighting with our own bucket trucks, so a dead sign doesn't stay dead while everybody argues about who has a lift.

If the sign cabinet itself is damaged, we'll tell you before we bill you for lighting work that won't fix it. Straight answers first — that's the whole operation.

Maintenance Programs

Lighting Maintenance for Multi-Site Operators

If you run more than one location, you already know the drill: a manager notices the lot's half dark, a ticket gets opened, and three weeks later somebody finally shows up with a lift. We flatten that whole cycle. One vendor, one number, scheduled sweeps across every site you have in our territory.

Scheduled night audits — we find the outages before your customers do
Group relamping and phased LED conversion across locations
Photos and notes on every work order, NTE limits respected
COI and W9 on request — vendor-packet ready for FM networks

Franchise groups and facility management companies are a big part of our book. If your network needs a lighting vendor with its own trucks covering South Mississippi and the Northshore, send us your onboarding packet.

For Homeowners Too

Outdoor & Landscape Lighting for Homes

The same crews that light parking lots and fuel canopies will light your place too. Landscape and path lighting, security floods and motion lights, porch and eave fixtures, and replacing that yard light that's been dead since the last storm. Same standard of work as our commercial jobs, scaled to your house — mostly around Poplarville, Picayune, and the surrounding area, but text us your address and ask.

Common Questions

Commercial Lighting FAQ

How much will an LED retrofit actually save us?

Honest answer: it depends on what you're running now, how many hours the lights burn, and your utility rate — so we won't quote you a magic percentage off a webpage. What we will say is that replacing older metal halide, HPS, or fluorescent lighting with LED typically cuts lighting energy use significantly, and the maintenance savings are real too: LED fixtures go years without a service call instead of needing lamps and ballasts on a rotation. Text us a photo of your fixtures and a recent power bill and we'll walk you through realistic numbers for your building.

Do you have your own bucket trucks, or do you rent lifts?

We run our own bucket trucks — they're part of the Dirty Works fleet, not something we rent per job. That matters for scheduling: when your parking lot pole light or road sign goes dark, we're not waiting on a lift rental to open up. We show up with the truck and get to work.

Can you handle lighting for multiple locations?

Yes — that's a big part of what we do. We work with franchise groups, facility management networks, and multi-site operators across South Mississippi and the Louisiana Northshore. COI and W9 available on request, photos and notes on every work order, NTE limits respected. One number covers the lighting at every location you have in our area.

My parking lot lights are out. Is that dangerous to leave alone?

A dark parking lot is a liability question as much as a lighting question — customers, employees closing at night, and cameras that can't see all depend on those poles working. Some outages are a simple lamp or driver; others are a photocell, contactor, or an underground wiring problem at the pole base. We diagnose at the pole with our own bucket truck and tell you straight what failed and what it takes to fix it.

Do you do outdoor lighting for homes too?

We do. Landscape lighting, security and flood lighting, and exterior fixture replacement for homeowners — mostly around Poplarville, Picayune, and the surrounding area. It's the same crew and the same standard of work we bring to commercial jobs, scaled to your house.
