Commercial Ballast and Light Bulbs Services We Offer

Fluorescent Light Ballast Replacement

Fluorescent fixtures are common in offices, shops, and schools. When the ballast fails, you may see:

  • Flickering tubes
  • Buzzing or humming sounds
  • Delayed start or lights that cut out
 

We handle fluorescent light ballast replacement in:

  • 2×4 and 2×2 troffers
  • Strip lights over aisles and workbenches
  • Recessed and surface-mounted fixtures
 

If you’re replacing ballast fluorescent light fixtures, we match the new ballast to your lamp type and voltage so you avoid nuisance trips and premature failures.

Replace Light Ballasts in Existing Fixtures

Sometimes the fixture body is fine, but the ballast is not. We:

  • Replace light ballast units in a wide range of fixtures
  • Safely replace ballast in light fittings without damaging the housing
  • Upgrade outdated magnetic ballasts to modern electronic options where appropriate
 

Replacing ballast in light circuits involves live wiring and must follow NEC and NJ UCC rules. Let our licensed electricians handle the wiring, testing, and labeling.

Commercial Light Bulb Replacement (Interior & Exterior)

We source and install the right commercial light bulbs and industrial light bulbs for your building, including:

  • Office and retail lamps (LED, fluorescent, compact fluorescent)
  • Back-of-house and warehouse lamps
  • Exterior wall packs and canopy fixtures
  • Sign and accent lighting
 

If you’re searching for a commercial light bulb replacement service near me, Enara Electric can manage both ongoing maintenance and one-time bulb change visits.

High Ceiling Light Bulb Replacement Service

High ceilings are tough. Our high ceiling light bulb replacement service near me covers:

  • Gyms and school multipurpose rooms
  • Church and synagogue sanctuaries
  • Lobby and stairwell lighting
  • Warehouses and production areas
 

We choose the right bulbs for your fixture and height so you are not calling us back every few months for the same lights.

LED Retrofits and Ballast-Bypass Options

When ballasts fail, it may be the right time to move to LED. We can:

  • Install ballast-compatible LED lamps
  • Perform ballast-bypass rewiring where allowed and appropriate
  • Replace old fixtures with new LED panels or high-bays
 

We also help you review possible energy-saving options and programs from utilities like PSE&G and Orange & Rockland, and from local distributors.

Scheduled Commercial Lighting Maintenance

Want fewer emergency calls? We can set up scheduled visits to handle:

  • Changing a ballast before it fails
  • Group relamping of commercial electric lamps
  • Checks on emergency and exit lighting
  • Basic cleaning of lenses and covers
 

This is ideal for property managers, HOAs, and multi-tenant buildings that need consistent lighting.

  • Note any obvious code or safety concerns
 

This gives us the information needed to suggest repair, replacement, or upgrade options.

Step 3 – Permit & Scheduling (When Needed)

  • Test lighting circuits, emergency lights, and controls
  • Walk the space with you if you are on site

NJ Electrical Codes, Permits, and Safety for Lighting Work

New Jersey Uniform Construction Code & NEC 2020

New Jersey uses the New Jersey Uniform Construction Code, which includes the National Electrical Code (NEC 2020) as the electrical subcode.

For you, that means:

  • Proper wiring and grounding in all lighting work
  • Correct overcurrent protection for lighting circuits
  • Safe use of fixtures in damp or outdoor locations
 

Our electricians follow these rules on every project.

When Commercial Lighting Work Needs a Permit in Cresskill

As a general guide:

  • Simple lamp swaps usually do not need a permit
  • Larger changes often do, such as:
    • New lighting circuits
    • Major fixture replacements and layout changes
    • Work on emergency or exit lighting systems
 

We speak with the local construction office when needed and schedule inspections so you stay on the right side of NJ regulations.

Safety Steps We Follow on Every Job

Every visit includes safety practices such as:

  • Lockout/tagout at panels before we open fixtures
  • Proper ladder and lift use
  • Safe handling and disposal of lamps and old ballasts
  • Protection of floors, desks, and equipment under our work areas
 

You get professional results and a safer building.

FAQs About Commercial Ballast and Light Bulb Services

What is a light ballast?

A light ballast controls the current going to certain lamps, such as fluorescent and HID bulbs. It helps start the lamp and keeps it from drawing too much power, which protects the fixture and wiring.

Common signs include flickering, buzzing, delayed start, tubes that glow on one end only, and fixtures that repeatedly shut off. Sometimes you may also notice a burning smell or visible discoloration on the ballast housing.

Yes, in commercial buildings, you should use a licensed electrician. Ballast work involves live wiring, proper grounding, and code rules. Mistakes can cause shocks, tripped breakers, or fire risk, and may create problems during inspections.

Costs vary with fixture type, height, access, and quantity. Simple jobs can fall in the low hundreds, while larger projects with many fixtures or lifts cost more. We provide a clear written quote after we see your site in person.

Some LED lamps are designed to work with existing ballasts, while others need the ballast removed and wiring adjusted. We can tell you which type you have, what your options are, and perform any rewiring safely to meet code.

Simple like-for-like lamp or ballast changes usually don’t need a permit. Projects involving new circuits, major fixture changes, or emergency lighting often do. We help you decide when a permit is required and handle the process when needed.

Licensed commercial electricians like Enara Electric handle high ceiling bulb changes. We bring proper lifts, ladders, and safety gear to reach gym ceilings, warehouses, and tall lobbies without putting your staff at risk.

A yearly check is a good baseline for most offices and shops. Warehouses, parking garages, and 24/7 facilities may need more frequent inspections. We can build an inspection and maintenance schedule that fits your property.

It depends on fixture age, condition, and energy goals. Sometimes a quick ballast replacement is the right fix. Other times, new LED fixtures or ballast-bypass retrofits lower long-term costs. We can quote both options so you can compare.

We’re based in Cresskill and serve many Bergen County towns, including Tenafly, Demarest, Closter, Englewood, Bergenfield, Haworth, Alpine, New Milford, Dumont, Teaneck, Paramus, Ridgewood, Bogota, Ramsey, Mahwah, and nearby communities.
