CFL to LED Upgrade Options

Upgrading your Alpenglow light to LED can be done in one of two ways:

1. Factory Upgrade

Send your fixture to us, and we’ll handle the conversion for you. This includes:

  • Cleaning and re-oiling the wood frame

  • Replacing the backplate with a new aluminum LED assembly

  • Installing new switches and internal wiring

You’ll receive a refreshed, upgraded fixture with modern performance in your original frame—ready to enjoy.

2. DIY Upgrade Kit

Prefer to do it yourself? We offer a DIY kit that includes:

  • Pre-assembled LED backplate

  • New switch

  • Instructions for installation

Note: This option requires strong soldering skills. We recommend factory upgrades unless you’re confident with electronics.

Why Upgrade?

  • No more bulbs or ballasts — Our LEDs are permanently mounted to an aluminum backplate, which also acts as a heat sink.

  • No LED bulbs or drivers — We build efficient, direct-mount systems without external drivers, eliminating RFI (radio frequency interference).

  • Cooler & more efficient — LEDs are run at half their maximum capacity for better longevity, cooler operation, and increased energy efficiency.

  • Better performance — LEDs are approximately 30% brighter and 25% more energy efficient than CFLs.

  • Long lifespan

    • White LEDs: 50,000 hours (approx. 25–30 years at 5 hours/day)

    • Red LEDs (night vision models): 100,000 hours

  • Warm white color — Rated at 2700K for a natural, incandescent-like glow

  • Power Consumption (Overhead Lights):

    • High: 0.5 amps

    • Low: 0.25 amps

Pricing

  • Same price for either upgrade method

  • Available in 12V (standard) or 24V

    • Add $25 for 24V conversion

With this upgrade, your fixture will perform better, last longer, and require virtually no maintenance—just clean, efficient, handcrafted light for years to come.
