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- Upgrade outdated magnetic ballasts to modern electronic options where appropriate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.

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)

- 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.

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.

NJ Electrical Codes, Permits, and Safety for Lighting Work

Our electricians follow these rules on every project.

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.
How do I know if my light ballast is bad?
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.
Do I need an electrician to change a ballast?
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.
How much does it cost to replace a ballast?
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.
Can LED lights work without a ballast?
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.
Do I need a permit for commercial lighting or ballast replacement in New Jersey?
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.
Who changes light bulbs in very high ceilings for businesses?
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.
How often should commercial lighting be inspected?
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.
Is it better to replace a ballast or install new LED fixtures?
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.
What areas of Bergen County do you serve for commercial light bulb replacement?
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.
