Bringing Light Back to Life: A Commercial Lighting Transformation

At JP Electric and Son , we pride ourselves on tackling complex challenges, and one recent project reminded us why we love what we do. A large commercial property manager reached out to us about a set of seven halogen wall washer lights that hadn’t worked in over a decade. These lights, essential for highlighting the building’s architecture and adding ambiance, had been gathering dust for years. Our mission: to breathe new life into these fixtures while upgrading them to modern LED technology.

Upon arriving at the site, we carefully inspected the halogen wall washer lights. It was clear that these fixtures were outdated and well past their prime. While they had served their purpose in the past, finding a contemporary LED replacement that matched the original aesthetic was going to take some legwork.

We worked closely with our trusted suppliers, searching for LED fixtures that could replicate the look and functionality of the old halogen lights. After a few weeks of research, we found a suitable match—sleek, energy-efficient LED wall washer lights. However, these new fixtures were slightly larger than the originals. This meant adjustments would be necessary to fit them seamlessly into the space.

The new fixtures required us to expand the existing openings in the sheetrock ceiling. With precision cutting and careful planning, we prepared the area for the upgraded lights. But even after they were in place, the mystery of why the original lights hadn’t worked for over 10 years still loomed.

This is where the real detective work began. Over the years, wires can deteriorate, connections can fail, and electrical systems can become compromised. We methodically traced the wiring, spliced connections, and tested circuits. After some trial and error, we pinpointed the problem—a wiring issue that had caused the original lights to fail.

With the wiring repaired and the new LED fixtures installed, the transformation was complete. The once-dim space now glows with the vibrant, energy-efficient light of the LED wall washers. Not only do they look fantastic, but they also provide long-lasting illumination with reduced energy consumption—a win for both the property manager and the environment.

This project wasn’t just about fixing lights; it was about restoring functionality, improving aesthetics, and creating a more sustainable solution. It’s a testament to the value of professional electrical work and the dedication our team brings to every job.
