Lighting does more for a retail space than almost any other system. It shapes how merchandise looks, how customers move through the store, and how much you spend on energy every month. As a licensed and insured electrical contractor, we install and retrofit lighting for shops, showrooms, restaurants, offices, and commercial spaces across Toronto and eight surrounding municipalities. We handle full lighting installs for new builds and renovations, and LED retrofits for existing spaces that want lower energy bills and better light quality. That includes track and accent lighting to highlight displays, recessed and linear fixtures for general illumination, signage and exterior lighting, and controls like dimming, zoning, and occupancy sensors that cut waste. LED retrofits are often the fastest payback in a commercial space: lower wattage, far longer fixture life, and less maintenance and re-lamping. We assess your existing layout, recommend fixtures and color temperatures that suit your products and brand, and do clean installs that look right and meet the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, with minimal disruption to your hours.

How we work with businesses
We start by walking your space to understand how you use it, what you're lighting, and where the current setup falls short, whether that's energy cost, light quality, or display impact. For retrofits, we count and assess existing fixtures and recommend LED options with the right brightness and color temperature for your products and brand. For new installs, we plan the layout, fixture types, and controls around your floor plan. We give you honest input on what will actually improve sightlines and merchandise appeal versus what just adds cost. Installs are done to the Ontario Electrical Safety Code, and we schedule around your hours, often working evenings or in zones, so the store stays open and customers aren't disrupted. You get a clean, finished result and any required documentation.
Cost & scoping
Lighting cost depends on the number and type of fixtures, whether we're retrofitting existing housings or installing new ones, ceiling height and access, and how much new wiring or controls the design needs. A straightforward LED retrofit that reuses existing fixtures is relatively economical and often pays back through energy and maintenance savings; a full new layout with track, accent, and zoned controls is a larger investment. We don't quote blind. After seeing the space and your goals, we provide an itemized written estimate, and where it helps we'll outline the rough energy and maintenance savings of an LED retrofit so you can weigh payback, though actual savings depend on usage and rates. Prices vary by scope, fixture selection, site conditions, and current material costs.
