House Light Retrofit at Cross City Church: Canto USA’s RETRO Series

by

Cross City Church in Texas completed a house light retrofit in its main worship center using Canto USA’s RETRO Series, achieving dramatically brighter, more even lighting, a major reduction in connected load (from 78,000 watts to 11,232 watts), and an installation that took just under five days with one boom lift.

Below is a concise summary followed by the project details, design choices, installation notes, and outcomes.

TL;DR — Project Highlights

  • Product: Canto USA RETRO Series LED retrofit (RETRO-Fusion® 2.0 / RETRO-Passive® 2.0)
  • Color temperature selected: 4000K
  • Installation time: just under five days (house lights operational first weekend)
  • Connected load before: 78,000 watts; after: 11,232 watts
  • Most existing housings, wiring, and ETC dimming system reused

Why Cross City Church Upgraded Its Houselights

The worship center opened in 1999 and, after multiple campus renovations elsewhere, the main room began to look and feel dated. Members had reported uneven lighting and insufficient light levels for reading during services, and the church wanted a modern, dimmable white house light rather than a color-changing solution.

We spoke with Brad Powers, Media Director for Cross City Church, about the decision to choose the RETRO Series, how the installation proceeded, and the effects after upgrading the houselights.

Why the RETRO Series Made Sense

Cross City Church evaluated multiple options, including RGB house-light solutions, but prioritized a smooth, dimmable white light. The RETRO Series stood out because it allowed reuse of much of the existing system. That approach minimized tear-out and helped control installation costs.

The retrofit retained:

  • Existing housings and fixture locations
  • Existing wiring
  • Most of the ETC dimming system

Canto USA’s RETRO products are designed as direct replacements, compatible with older and newer dimming control electronics—allowing projects to modernize light output without rebuilding the entire system.

Finding the Right Color Temperature and Optics

To evaluate real-world performance, Canto USA supplied custom demo units for side-by-side trials in the worship center. After testing, Cross City Church selected 4000K for its balance of perceived brightness and color neutrality.

Gemini, a Dallas-based live events company, and Horton Controls supported the project, and a small parts issue (PAR64 adapters were supplied instead of PAR56 adapters) was corrected with overnight replacement parts so the schedule stayed on track.

Customizing the Existing Fixtures

Cross City Church provided a spare house light fixture for evaluation so Canto USA could confirm fit and performance. Canto designed a custom part to fit the existing fixture and support the new LED retrofit, keeping physical modifications to a minimum.

The ETC Sensor Rack electronics were later updated to improve dimming curves and give the church tighter control over the dimming behavior.

Installation and Timeline

Once equipment arrived, the houselight installation took just under five days using one boom lift. The houselights were operational on the older control setup for the first weekend, with additional dimmer work completed the following week.

The visual difference was immediate. Brad said,

Our worship center has been completely transformed. It’s way brighter than before and has become a much more welcoming place to enter to worship and learn.

Because the new system produces more usable light, the church typically operates house lights around 45% at the brightest point in the service.

Dimming Performance and Reliability

After tuning the dimming curves, the RETRO units performed well. The church observed occasional brightness fluctuations between roughly 30% and 50%—Brad noted incoming building voltage could be contributing. Aside from that, fixtures have been reliable.

The RETRO-Fusion® 2.0 line is designed for 0–100% forward- and reverse-phase dimming and compatibility with older SCR, TRIAC, and IGBT dimming systems as well as newer dimmers.

Energy and Utility Incentives

The connected lighting load dropped from approximately 78,000 watts before the upgrade to 11,232 watts after the retrofit. Cross City Church applied for and received a utility rebate tied to the lighting upgrade.

Why This Approach Can Be Simpler

For Cross City Church, the RETRO approach allowed modernization without tearing out housings, controls, or wiring. Much of the original infrastructure stayed in place while delivering a room that better matched the renovated campus.

Canto USA has been a great vendor for us—always available to give answers and resources to help us find the right solution for our space. We’ve been extremely happy with our experience on this project—with Canto USA, Gemini, and Horton Controls. I wish we would’ve considered this for our smaller worship space as well. It’s the perfect solution for us.

Brad, vielen Dank, dass Sie mit uns über Ihre Erfahrungen mit unserem Produkt gesprochen haben.

UNCG Organ Recital Hall and the Birth of the RETRO-Passive® Series

by Leave a Comment

It’s often said, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” This is most definitely true of how our RETRO-Passive® series came about. One job’s requirements made us push the limits further on what our RETRO fixtures are capable of doing: delivering smooth dimming while remaining completely fanless in a very quiet recital hall.

The University of North Carolina in Greensboro has a 130-seat Organ Recital Hall with a 35-rank pipe organ built by the Andover Organ Company. The room used older 1000-watt PAR fixtures that generated heat, consumed more energy, and required frequent lamp replacement. By 2017, the university wanted an LED upgrade that preserved dimming performance without adding noise.

"Der RETRO ist einer unserer kugelsicheren Scheinwerfer bei diesem Projekt", sagt Andrew Fisher von Bandit Lites. "Wir haben diese Leuchten nicht mehr angerührt und sind dankbar für die Unterstützung von Canto USA bei diesem Projekt!"

A Retrofit With an Acoustic Challenge

The recital hall is acoustically isolated from the rest of the building. Theatre Consultants Collaborative designed and specified the project, with Bandit Lites handling installation. The team preferred to avoid adding new conduit where possible, which meant the new houselights had to dim smoothly through the existing line-voltage system.

Noise was an even bigger concern. The room had an extremely low acoustic floor, so fan-cooled LED fixtures were not a good fit—any audible fan noise would be noticeable during quiet performances.

Developing the RETRO-Passive®

Canto USA’s RETRO Series already provided the dimming performance the project needed, but the UNCG hall required a completely fanless solution. Our lower-output 150 units used passive cooling, but the space needed more light while remaining silent. That meant developing a larger heat sink and packaging that could cool a higher-output LED engine without a fan.

The result was the RETRO-Passive® 700 used for the project—and the beginning of the RETRO-Passive product line.

Installing the New Houselights

Bandit Lites installed new controls and wiring while adapting the existing Dark Lite recessed cans that previously used PAR64 lamps. Adapter rings were used to fit the RETRO units into the existing fixtures. The uplight sconces were updated with passive-cooled 150 units and the driver assemblies were remotely mounted to maintain the low-profile look.

The new lighting provided a warmer appearance similar to the previous PAR64 lamps, with improved distribution, smooth dimming through existing line-voltage dimmers, and less heat in the room. The project took about one month to complete.

Andrew Fisher of Bandit Lites said:

“The RETRO has been one of our bulletproof fixtures on the job. We haven’t been back to touch those fixtures and appreciate the support of Canto USA on the project!”

What started as a solution for one unusually quiet recital hall ultimately became an entire RETRO product line for concert halls and other sound-sensitive spaces.

Why RETRO-Passive Works for Acoustically Sensitive Spaces

The RETRO-Passive design addresses three common constraints specifiers face in quiet performance spaces: audible noise, thermal load, and compatibility with existing dimming infrastructure. By removing fans and relying on a larger passive heat sink, the fixtures operate silently while still providing smooth, line-voltage dimming and less radiant heat than legacy lamp sources. For additional context on fanless installations and acoustic applications, see our post about the RETRO-Passive silent retrofit approach: RETRO-Passive® silent LED retrofit — fanless lighting for acoustically sensitive spaces.

The RETRO — 3 Years Later: Fairfax High School RETRO Series LED retrofit

by Leave a Comment

One of Canto USA’s RETRO Series LED retrofit products has been a go-to houselight retrofit option for Artistic Concepts Group, and Fairfax High School is one of those projects. This article revisits the Fairfax installation to review long-term performance of the RETRO Series LED retrofit.

About three years after the installation, we checked in with Andrew Redmon, Field Services Technician for Fairfax County Public Schools, to see how the system was performing.

“The system has performed fantastically since installation. Both the school and I love how much brighter it is, and the whole idea of never needing to do a huge lamp replacement job again.”

Fairfax High School auditorium before and after RETRO Series LED retrofit

The Fairfax High School RETRO Installation

The auditorium originally used 105 500-watt E11 mini candelabra lamps. They were replaced with 105 3000K RETRO-Classic® 500 units with E11 bases and short reflectors, operating on an ETC Sensor3 dimmer rack.

The retrofit reduced each house light from 500 watts to 49 watts, cutting the total load from 52,500 watts to 5,145 watts — a reduction of more than 90%.

The school also reported a 30–40% improvement in perceived room light quality. Prior to the retrofit, older lamps could begin burning out after only two to three months, making it difficult to keep the auditorium fully lit.

Key results from the Fairfax install

  • Energy reduction: total house load dropped from 52,500 W to 5,145 W (over 90% reduction).
  • Light quality: the school reported a 30–40% improvement in room light quality.
  • Maintenance: greatly reduced lamp replacement cycles and related labor compared with the older lamps.

Andrew confirmed the installation continues to meet expectations:

“The RETRO series continues to be a fantastic product. It is a great solution for us because we can go LED, get high-quality dimming, and typically be brighter than before, all without having to replace fixtures, tear up a ceiling, or run new wire. I look forward to continuing to use the RETRO line in the future.”

Westwood High School Auditorium Retrofit

by Leave a Comment

Westwood High School in Mesa, Arizona, underwent an auditorium retrofit to improve light output for orchestra, band, choir, drama, assemblies, rehearsals, and other campus events. The upgrade focused on providing usable light at the auditorium’s throw distances so seating areas, aisles, and performance zones received consistent illumination.

Unlike many older auditoriums where fixture access is the primary maintenance concern, Westwood’s fixtures were relatively easy to reach. The limiting factor was lamp output: the existing lamps weren’t delivering enough usable light for the distance between the houselights and the areas they needed to illuminate. Clearwing Systems Integration worked with the school to evaluate options and specify an LED retrofit that addressed those conditions.

In 2017, Westwood had 60 RETRO-Classic® 700s at 3000K and 14 RETRO-Classic 150s at 3000K installed. It has been a “night and day change” according to Jill Maurer, Systems Design Engineer. “It is so bright in that auditorium since the retrofit was completed.”

Addressing Light Output and Throw Distance

The goal at Westwood wasn’t simply to switch to LEDs; it was to provide enough output to work effectively with the auditorium’s existing fixture locations and throw distances. Selecting a mix of RETRO-Classic 700 and 150 models allowed the design team to match light levels to different parts of the room—higher-output units where needed and lower-output units where appropriate.

Canto USA’s RETRO Series LED retrofit kits are designed to upgrade existing houselights so venues can retain much of their lighting infrastructure while improving lumen output, consistency, and dimming compatibility.

Using both RETRO-Classic 700 and 150 units let the team match the light level more closely to each part of the room. The 700s handled areas that needed more output, while the 150s worked better where less light was called for. Matching the light source to the application—considering throw distance, fixture placement, color temperature, and room use—is a key part of a successful auditorium retrofit.

The completed installation created a noticeable change in the auditorium. As Jill Maurer said, “It is so bright in that auditorium since the retrofit was completed.” That improved, consistent light supports performances, rehearsals, assemblies, and community events throughout the year.

Improving a Busy Performing Arts Space

School auditoriums are multi-use spaces. A well-planned auditorium retrofit does more than reduce wattage: it delivers dependable light where and when people need it—on stage, in seating areas, and along aisles—while minimizing maintenance and ensuring dimming compatibility for theatrical and presentation needs.

Westwood High School auditorium after RETRO retrofit

Other district auditoriums presented different challenges that the RETRO family handled by adapting to each venue’s requirements. For example, the Dobson High School project dealt with fixture access and uneven light levels, while the Red Mountain High School installation addressed difficult maintenance access. These case studies illustrate how RETRO products can be configured around different auditorium layouts.

For Westwood, the main challenge was clear: the existing lamps simply were not delivering enough light over the required distance. Selecting RETRO-Classic models with higher output where needed allowed the school to improve usable light while maintaining the existing fixture layout.

New Coat of Paint and Seats? No—New Lights: Replacing Auditorium Houselights

by Leave a Comment

Dwain McMillan, Lead Sound Support and Lighting Tech for Fairfax County Public Schools, had a personal connection to this project. As a graduate of Fairfax High School, he had even more reason to want the auditorium lighting upgrade done right.

For Artistic Concepts Group, Canto USA’s RETRO Series LED retrofit kits had already become a go-to option for replacing older auditorium houselights. At Fairfax High School, the existing system gave them another opportunity to put that approach to work.

Replacing 105 Auditorium Houselights

The auditorium originally used 105 500-watt E11 mini candelabra lamps. Those were replaced with 3000K RETRO-Classic® 500 E11 mini candelabras with short reflectors.

The new RETRO-Classic units work with the auditorium’s existing ETC Sensor3 Dimmer Rack, allowing the school to keep its familiar dimming system while significantly cutting the amount of power used by the houselights.

Each fixture dropped from 500 watts to just 49 watts. Across all 105 fixtures, that reduced the total load from 52,500 watts to 5,145 watts—just over a 90% reduction in power.

The project also reported a 30–40% improvement in the room’s light quality. That comparison assumes the old system was fully lamped, which was not always the case. The previous lamps could begin going out after only two to three months of use, making it harder to maintain consistent lighting throughout the auditorium.

The change was immediately noticeable. Fairfax High School’s drama teacher was especially happy that he could clearly see the seats again.

The brighter, more consistent houselighting made the room look as though it had received a much larger makeover. It may have looked like new paint and new seats, but the biggest change was simply replacing the old auditorium houselights.

For a school auditorium, that improvement goes beyond appearance. Better houselighting makes it easier for students, staff, and guests to move through the seating area while giving the school a much more usable lighting system without replacing the existing dimming infrastructure.

Northern Virginia High School Shines a Little Light on the Subject — RETRO auditorium lighting

by Leave a Comment

Falls Church High School in Northern Virginia has an active performing arts program that includes theatre, band, orchestra, choir, guitar, and music theory. With the auditorium regularly supporting school performances and community events, improving the houselighting could make a noticeable difference without requiring a complete redesign of the room.

For this auditorium lighting retrofit, Canto USA’s RETRO Series was used to improve brightness, coverage, and energy efficiency while keeping the school’s existing lighting positions and dimming infrastructure in place.

Updating an Older School Auditorium

Built in the 1960s, the Falls Church High School auditorium had been operating with 38 200-watt long-neck A lamps.

Rather than replacing the existing fixtures or changing their locations, the project focused on upgrading the light source inside the existing system. All 38 original lamps were replaced with 3000K RETRO-Classic® 500 units without reflectors and fitted with lamp extenders.

The RETRO-Classic® 500 was an earlier generation of Canto USA’s RETRO product family. The current RETRO Series LED retrofit kits continue the same basic approach of upgrading existing fixtures while preserving as much of the original installation as possible.

Working With the Existing ETC Dimming System

The auditorium uses an ETC Sensor3 dimmer rack with standard D20 modules.

The RETRO units were able to work with the existing dimming system, so the school did not have to relocate fixtures or make major mechanical changes to the auditorium’s lighting positions.

That was especially useful for a space that was already in regular use. The goal was to improve what the school had rather than turn the project into a larger renovation.

– The auditorium became 200% brighter according to the installed-lighting measurements provided by the installer
– Lighting distribution evened out to better cover walls and seating areas

More Light With Less Power

After the retrofit, the school reported several noticeable improvements:

  • Power use decreased by approximately 75%
  • Room intensity increased by 200%
  • Light distribution became more even across the auditorium
  • Walls and seating areas received better coverage
  • Existing lighting positions and dimming equipment remained in use

Michael Wysolmerski of Artistic Concepts Group (ACG), the dealer for the installation, explained:

“The client was really interested in improving the overall coverage in the room. Because the RETRO was able to have adjustable optics, we were able to change coverage in the auditorium without having to make modifications to any of the existing lighting positions.”

That flexibility allowed the installer to improve how the room was lit without moving the existing houselights.

A Brighter Auditorium Without Rebuilding the System

Teachers and administrators immediately noticed the difference after the new lighting was installed. The auditorium was considerably brighter, and the improved distribution made the room more useful for performances, events, and everyday activities.

Dwain McMillan, Lead Sound Support and Lighting Tech for Fairfax County Public Schools, described the finished project simply:

“The best solution by far; money well spent.”

For a heavily used school auditorium, the project showed how an LED retrofit could improve the room without requiring the school to replace the complete lighting system.

Why RETRO Works for Auditorium Lighting Retrofits

Auditorium houselights can be difficult and expensive to replace when the existing fixture locations, wiring, and dimming system are still usable.

Canto USA’s RETRO approach is built around upgrading the light source while making use of existing infrastructure where the application allows. Depending on the fixture and project, different bases, extensions, reflectors, and other options can be used to fit the existing installation.

At Falls Church High School, that flexibility helped improve light output and coverage without moving the existing fixtures.

Why RETRO works for auditoriums

The RETRO series is designed to retrofit existing theatrical and auditorium fixtures while maintaining or improving dimmer compatibility and lighting coverage. In this project, the adjustable optics of the RETRO-Classic units let the installer improve wall and seating illumination without moving existing fixtures.

Let There Be LED Recessed Lighting: RETRO-Classic® 500 Installed at Virginia Church

by Leave a Comment

Churches looking to reduce energy use do not always need to replace an entire lighting system. Converting older halogen fixtures to LED recessed lighting can lower power consumption while allowing facilities to keep much of their existing lighting infrastructure in place.

McLean Bible Church, a large Northern Virginia congregation with five locations, faced aging lighting, high energy costs, and a limited capital-improvement budget at its Vienna campus. Its theatrical lighting supplier, Artistic Concepts Group (ACG), brought Canto USA in to help develop an LED retrofit solution that could work with the church’s existing recessed house lights.

The original system used 208 500-watt T4 E11 mini candelabra lamps. We replaced them one-for-one with 208 RETRO-Classic® 500 units at 2700K. We selected different optics based on throw distance and used E11 stems of varying lengths to match the depth of the existing recessed cans.

Because the RETRO units fit the existing lighting positions, McLean Bible Church did not need to install additional fixtures to achieve the desired light levels. The retrofit was also straightforward enough that the church’s building engineers completed the installation themselves.

What Changed After the McLean Bible Church Retrofit

  • The retrofit cut power use by about 91%.
  • Room brightness increased by roughly 20% after the new lighting was installed.
  • CO2 emissions were also reduced by about 91%.
  • The church is saving approximately 337,709 kWh each year.
  • Estimated ROI of about 1.7 years based on the original project cost, before utility rebates
  • About $10,000 in additional power-company rebates
  • Serviceable and upgradeable RETRO fixtures helped reduce future maintenance needs.

Expanding the Halogen-to-LED Conversion

The results at the Vienna campus led McLean Bible Church to use RETRO products in several other areas of the building.

The secondary auditorium received 143 RETRO-Passive® 150 units and 24 RETRO 500s. In the lobby, 22 RETRO 300s were installed in the lower ceiling, and 65 RETRO-Classic® 500s were used in the higher section. The team also installed 35 RETRO 150s in a youth room.

These additional installations allowed the church to extend the benefits of LED recessed lighting into more areas of the facility while continuing to use compatible existing fixtures and infrastructure.
