Turning the Page on Fluorescent Lighting: Lutron’s C-Flex Solution
July 30, 2025
Lutron’s C-Flex Retrofit Solution: Ballasts Are Out, Fluorescents Are Done, It’s Time to Move On
Starting in 2026, Canada will begin phasing out lamps that contain mercury — including the fluorescent tubes still widely used in commercial, institutional, and public buildings. This regulatory shift only adds to a reality already in place: fluorescent ballasts have not been manufactured for over two years.
That makes the question urgent:
How Can You Maintain Your Lighting Systems Without Replacing Everything?…
Lutron C-Flex: A Simple & Effective Solution
In anticipation of these changes, Lutron developed C-Flex — a retrofit solution that enables a seamless transition to LED lighting without touching your existing infrastructure: wiring, conduits, fixtures, or even your current control system.
How Does It Work?
It’s a straightforward 1:1 replacement. Remove the old ballast, install the supplied LED driver, replace the lamps with the included LEDs — and you’re done!
No demolition. No waste. No compromise on performance or compliance.
And if your system isn’t Lutron? C-Flex is also compatible with many existing control systems, making the transition simple and accessible.
Easy Installation, Full Compliance
Each C-Flex kit includes:
- A Lutron LED driver (3-wire or EcoSystem)
- C-Flex LED lamps by Light Efficient Design
- All required connectors
- Clear installation instructions
- A compliance label for the fixture
Good News: In most cases, installation can be performed by on-site electricians — whether in commercial buildings or school facilities — without compromising the integrity of the fixture. (Subject to local code and policy verification.)
Economical. Ecological. Sustainable.
Choosing C-Flex means:
- An affordable and fast-to-implement solution
- A drastic reduction in waste (no cables or fixtures to discard)
- Improved energy efficiency
- Enhanced light quality
- A proactive response to upcoming regulations
