WE RENOV.ALL – LIGHT RENOVATION MADE EASY!

RENOVATE. PRESERVE. ELEVATE.

The future lies in existing buildings – and this applies to lighting, too. They currently account for around 12% of total energy consumption in Europe. This makes the switch to LED technology a key element in driving Europe’s green transformation. However, only around 50% of all installed luminaires have been converted to LED so far.

Graphic: 80% energy savings with LTS
Around 15% of global energy consumption is caused by lighting – with most emissions generated during operation. This is where modern LED technology comes in: Retrofitting with energy-efficient LED luminaires from LTS reduces your power consumption immediately and sustainably – by up to 80%.

Outdated lighting systems are not only inefficient, they also place a strain on the environment and budgets. With Renov.All, LTS pursues the goal of upgrading every LTS luminaire ever installed to modern LED technology – wherever technically and economically viable. LTS Licht & Leuchtn GmbH offers a comprehensive portfolio of refurbishment solutions that are practical and make existing lighting systems future-proof, efficient and sustainable with minimal effort.

Many of our products are long-standing classics. Replacing them entirely would often be an unnecessary waste of resources. Instead, LTS provides well-designed renovation kits that take light quality and efficiency to a new level – without affecting the architecture. This is how responsibility becomes a system solution: the light remains, the impact is renewed. Architecture always stays in focus: LTS solutions modernise the lighting, not the space. Light is more than brightness – it is the invisible foundation of atmosphere and a key factor in energy efficiency and responsible architectural design. Our refurbishment solutions offer an effective way to realise this untapped potential – making a measurable contribution to climate and resource protection.

Our LED refurbishment solutions for you:

  • Lichtkanal: Modernise the lighting – preserve the channel! We refurbish all models.
  • Scene spotlights: The light head is modernised, the housing remains.
  • TRI Kit: The invisible frame stays – the light becomes efficient.
  • PL luminaires: Easy refurbishment of recessed, surface-mounted and pendant versions
  • SCI/SCS lighting systems: Refurbishment for a long-lasting system.
  • Ala system: Efficient refurbishment with new lighting inserts.
  • Renov8: Replacing T8 tubes with LED refurbishment inserts.
  • Lewy Flex: The tailor-made refurbishment downlight for every ceiling.

Let’s rethink light – together!


Lichtkanal refurbishment

Preserve the stock – modernize the lighting

The LTS Lichtkanal has been an architectural statement for over 20 years – and can now be easily upgraded to a modern LED light line. Instead of replacing entire systems, old light inserts are simply swapped for new, highly efficient LED technology. The existing profiles remain. This saves resources, construction time and costs. Whether 045, 060 or 070 – with custom-fit refurbishment inserts and new diffusers, LTS achieves a light quality that meets today’s demands – without compromising the original spatial effect.

Advantages at a glance:

  • LED upgrade in existing systems without structural modifications
  • Compatible with Casambi or Organic Response
  • Resource-efficient
  • Refurbishment in line with standards, including a 5-year warranty
  • On request, we also refurbish Lichtkanal systems from other manufacturer

Timelessly modern – in the classic look & feel

The distinctive, angular Scene spotlight family is well known among architects. For all variants, LTS now offers a smart LED upgrade: The existing mounting frames remain – only the light head is replaced. With full gimbal adjustability and identical appearance, the light image remains unchanged – while reducing energy consumption and increasing light quality.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Replaceable light heads – tool-free and clean
  • Existing mounting frames remain in place
  • Optimal light image with high colour rendering

The existing architecture remains untouched – while the lighting becomes future-ready. Although TRI is no longer part of the current LTS portfolio, we continue to support our long-standing customers as a reliable partner – with a tailored refurbishment solution that ensures their lighting installation is both future-proof and energy-efficient.


Renewed invisibly – light in its purest form

TRI recessed downlights stand for frameless elegance. And it’s precisely this flawless integration that makes them seem difficult to replace – but not with the LTS refurbishment kit. The existing mounting frame remains fully embedded in the ceiling, only the inner components are replaced: The new LED module is fixed magnetically. The result: a modernised, CE-compliant downlight with a proven architectural look and tomorrow’s technology.

Advantages at a glance:

  • Existing mounting frame and ceiling remain untouched
  • Replacement without filling or dirt
  • Centring via magnetic fixation
  • Energy-efficient LED technology with control options


PL luminaire refurbishment

In 2024, this partnership continued with a forward-looking refurbishment of the lighting system – focusing not only on technical modernisation but also on strengthening the brewery’s sustainable orientation.

Geometric, precise and future-ready

Whether round, square or flush-mounted: The PL luminaire family is now future-proof thanks to specially developed LED refurbishment kits. Naturally, all PL surface-mounted and pendant luminaires can also be upgraded to LED using the PL refurbishment kit. The new light inserts are precisely matched to the legacy formats and can be installed quickly and cleanly with magnetic mounting – no ceiling intervention required. The combination of a high-quality LED module and a light-optimised acrylic cover ensures both system efficiency and lighting quality.
