Appleton’s Retromaster: LED Upgrades Made Easy

2/7/2025

Emerson Appleton™ has lighting solutions that lower energy costs and carbon emissions in Class I, Division 2 locations. The Retromaster LED can be retrofitted into your installed legacy lighting’s fixture base, without cutting conduit, rerunning wire or altering your fixture’s certifications (for Appleton legacy products). This means that in less than a minute, you can have an upgraded fixture that takes up the same or less space and will last 50 times longer than the one it replaced. With no filament that could potentially get broken or burnt out, a long operational life and built-in surge protection, this lighting solution can also save you on maintenance costs. These LEDs offer extreme flexibility, with technology for choosing lumen output and accessories to fit a variety of applications. If you are looking to retrofit your 60-300W incandescent luminaires with a more efficient and long-lasting LED solution, check out the Retromaster LED series from Appleton.
