How to Retrofit Incandescent Light Fixtures to LEDs
Upgrading Your Lighting Design Is Easy with DMF Lighting
Is it time to finally update your home’s lighting fixtures to LEDs? Manufacturing of most incandescent bulbs has been banned for environmental reasons, and CFL bulbs are next.
Not only are LEDs vastly more energy efficient than other light bulbs, but certain smart LEDs can also be intelligently controlled, letting you adjust the brightness and color with a tap of a button. This makes them ideal for smart homes and lighting design.
In most cases, you can simply screw an LED bulb into the legacy light socket. But in other scenarios, you’ll need an adaptor or retrofit kit to upgrade to LEDs. Let’s see if your Dallas–Fort Worth home needs to retrofit your fixtures—and how easy the solution can be.

Do You Need to Retrofit Your Light Fixtures for LEDs?
In most common light fixtures, you merely replace your incandescent or CFL bulb with an LED light bulb. But in certain cases, you may need to retrofit your lamp or fixture, such as:
- Different Base Sizes: Some fixture bases, such as candelabra (E12) or medium (E26), will need an adapter to convert to LEDs.
- Specialty Fixtures: Certain fixtures use specific bulbs that aren’t compatible with typical LED bases, including halogen, pin-base (like G4 or GU10), low-voltage, and antique fixtures.
- Extended Reach/Flexibility: If you need extra length to fit a bulb into a fixture, adaptors provide the extension you need.
