Commercial LED Lighting in Bayonet Point, FL
Older Storefronts, Pad Buildings, and Offices|Licensed & Insured, EC13011268
Kennedy Electric converts fluorescent fixtures in Bayonet Point stores and offices to LED and repairs fixtures that have gone dark or begun to flicker. A building that has stood since the 1970s or 1980s can hold fixtures from more than one era, and each kind gets the conversion that suits it.
The year the building was built helps us decide which fixtures to look at first.

At a glance
When the Building Went Up Shapes the Lighting Job
The commercial building here dates back to at least the early 1970s. In 1972 and 1973, the developer of Beacon Woods built a small shopping area called Village Square, according to the community association's history. Out on US 19, a freestanding retail building at 12105 was built in 1986, according to its current lease listing. Buildings from those years were put up when fluorescent lighting was the usual choice, so a storefront of that age can still have a few of its original fixtures in a back room, next to others that were replaced once and newer ones from a later remodel.
Converting what's already on the ceiling is one kind of job, and installing fixtures where there were none is another. On a Pasco commercial job, a permit is required when new circuits are added or existing ones extended, and the county's commercial list requires energy and load calculations with the plans.
How it runs
Starting With the Oldest Fixtures
-
1
Oldest fixtures on the list first
Fixtures that look original to the building go on the list first, then the ones replaced since, then any from a later remodel, each kind counted separately with its ceiling height noted.
-
2
What converts now, and what can wait
Converting in stages is an option. Fixtures you choose not to convert now stay on fluorescent, and a failing ballast in one of them can be replaced in the meantime.
-
3
A permit, if fixtures are added
If the plan adds fixtures or extends a circuit, the county's permit comes before that part of the work. Kennedy Electric sends Pasco that application and sets up the inspection that follows.

A room at a time, on weekdays
The crew converts one area at a time while the rest of the building carries on. Where one circuit feeds more than one room, those rooms go dark together while it's off.
What we cover
Original, Replaced Once, or Newer
First fixtures from a 1970s storefront: Troffers and strip lights that have hung since the building opened, which can still run on the original magnetic ballasts. Sound sockets get rewired for LED tubes, and cracked or brittle ones call for an LED kit inside the housing.
Fixtures already replaced once: A 1980s pad building can have fixtures changed out years ago, with ballasts of different ages behind similar lenses. Each kind is listed separately and converted to match the rest.
Rooms that never got updated: Restrooms, stockrooms, and back halls, where plain wraps and strips are converted or taken down for a new LED fixture when the housing is rusted or bent.
Fixtures that keep an area lit in an outage: An LED emergency driver for each one, or a separate emergency light beside it, so the area keeps some light through an outage.
A fixture that's dark right now: Tested to find out whether the tube, the ballast, the sockets, or the wiring is the cause, and then repaired or converted, whichever suits the rest of the room.
Pricing
Quotes Built Around the Fixture Count
The quote rests on the count and the method chosen for each kind, and on the fixtures with emergency backup, the ceiling heights, and the number of kinds of fixtures the building's decades have left behind.
Custom homes and large or multi-phase projects are estimated as soon as we can, or on the timeline your project sets.
Repair and troubleshooting visits are billed by the hour from arrival: $100 residential, $150 commercial, one-hour minimum, then half-hour increments, plus materials. No trip charge and no service fee. No hidden fees: the 3.5% surcharge on card and ACH payments is listed in our terms.
We don't do upfront pricing. No job has a standard price with us: each one is tailored to the property and the work you've asked for, and priced once we've seen it.
We offer free estimates on installations, upgrades, and replacements in our service area. Estimates aren't free when the job needs troubleshooting or testing to price, falls after hours or outside our service area, needs several meetings to gather information, or is new construction or a custom remodel with multi-party walk-throughs. For most jobs, estimates arrive by email by the end of the next business day, and quotes are good for 30 days.

Materials Kennedy Electric purchases for your job carry the manufacturer's one-year warranty. To replace defective materials we supplied, or materials damaged by storm, flood, fire, or other acts of God, we charge a reduced warranty labor rate of $50 an hour residential and $75 an hour commercial.
