Healthcare LED retrofits in Florida.
Hospitals, rehab facilities, physical therapy centers, and clinics. Healthcare-grade LED panels with high color rendering, flicker-free drivers, and scheduled install around patient care.
What healthcare operators in Florida should know.
Florida is a core Energie market — our Palm City regional office dispatches crews across the state same-week for most project sizes. Commercial electricity rates average ~$0.11/kWh. Tourism drives 24/7 parking operations — 4,380+ burn hours per year is common for hospitality and retail. Coastal humidity accelerates fixture degradation, making retrofit windows shorter. Tampa's TECO rebate is particularly strong at ~$264/fixture, and the Treasure Coast + South Florida CRE market is some of the densest commercial real estate in the country.
Average commercial rate: $0.110/kWh
Florida incentive navigation
TECO's prescriptive program pays up to ~$264/fixture for qualifying LED exterior retrofits. One of the most generous utility rebate programs in the country.
Florida Power & Light offers commercial energy efficiency rebates across most of the state. Program details vary by rate class.
Jacksonville's municipal utility JEA covers up to 50% of qualifying project cost for commercial lighting retrofits.
What healthcare operators tell us is broken.
Fluorescent flicker disrupts care
Old T8 fluorescent drivers flicker at 60Hz, which is visible to some patients and causes issues with camera-based therapy assessments.
Skin-tone reading accuracy
Low-CRI lighting makes skin-tone assessment unreliable for wound care, dermatology, and general patient evaluation. Healthcare needs 90+.
Install timing is critical
You can't shut down patient care for a retrofit. We work around the schedule, room-by-room, with full coordination.
Fluorescent supply is drying up
Multiple states have banned new fluorescent sales. Supply costs are climbing fast — $41/fixture projected in 2026. Waiting costs more.
St Lukes Rehabilitation is the reference project — healthcare-grade LED retrofit across physical therapy rooms and treatment spaces. Flicker-free drivers, CRI 90+, patient-first install schedule.
Healthcare-grade LED is different.
Consumer-grade LED panels aren't appropriate for healthcare settings. Medical applications require flicker-free drivers, high CRI for accurate color, and low glare for patient comfort. The right spec costs slightly more but makes the retrofit clinically appropriate.
- CRI 90+ enables accurate skin-tone reading for wound care and dermatology
- Flicker-free drivers eliminate the 60Hz strobing that interferes with camera-based therapy
- Low glare and warmer CCT options for patient rooms reduce visual stress
- Fluorescent bans now active in VT, CA, CO, OR, RI — supply and pricing pressure accelerating
