Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LITETRONICS from 3G Electric.
What types of fixtures can LITETRONICS LED magnetic retrofit kits replace?
LITETRONICS LED magnetic retrofit kits are designed to replace several legacy lighting types, including HID fixtures, T8 U-Bend lamps, and (3) Lamp T8 configurations. Specific models are labeled for each replacement type, such as the RFM3T450B for HID and the RFM3T235A for T8 U-Bend. The kits are not universal; you should select the SKU that matches the existing fixture type to ensure proper fit and light distribution.
Are LITETRONICS LED light bars dimmable, and what dimming methods are supported?
Yes, LITETRONICS LED light bars are dimmable. Most models support standard dimming, and some, like the RFM3T450DW troffer retrofit kit, feature tri-level dimming. The dimming method may vary by SKU, so check the product specifications for the specific dimming capability. The dimmable feature allows integration with occupancy sensors or manual dimming controls for energy savings.
What voltage do LITETRONICS LED retrofit kits operate on?
LITETRONICS LED retrofit kits operate on a dual-voltage input of 120/277V AC. This makes them compatible with common commercial electrical systems in North America and other regions that use these voltages. The dual-voltage capability simplifies installation in facilities with mixed voltage supplies.
What color temperatures are available for LITETRONICS LED light bars?
LITETRONICS LED light bars are available in three color temperatures: 3500K (warm white), 4000K (neutral white), and 5000K (daylight). The specific color temperature is indicated in the model number, for example, RFM2T440A is 4000K. This range allows selection based on the application, with 5000K suitable for task lighting and 3500K for ambient areas.
How are LITETRONICS LED magnetic retrofit kits installed?
LITETRONICS LED magnetic retrofit kits use a magnetic mounting system that attaches directly to metal surfaces, such as the interior of existing troffer housings or metal ceilings. The installation typically involves removing the old lamps and ballast, then securing the LED kit in place with the magnets. No additional hardware or drilling is required for metal surfaces, reducing installation time.
What lumen outputs are available for LITETRONICS LED light bars?
LITETRONICS LED light bars offer multiple lumen output options depending on the model. For example, the 4 ft by 1 1/4 ft kits provide 3,600 lm, 4,700 lm, or 5,500 lm, while the 2 ft by 1 ft kits offer 3,140 lm, 3,925 lm, or 4,700 lm. The specific lumen output is selectable per SKU, allowing matching to the required light level for the space.
