AI-powered LED retrofit for existing downlights

Why replace it when you can upgrade it?

Every building has them—downlights and spotlights that have been quietly doing their job for years, sometimes for decades. They’re built into the ceiling, blend in with the architecture, and in many cases are simply beautiful. The fixtures aren’t the problem. The outdated light source inside them is.

At Lumega, we’ve developed an AI-driven process that changes the entire retrofit equation: instead of tearing out existing downlights and spotlights and replacing them with new fixtures, we use artificial intelligence to digitally clone the exact specifications of your existing fixture—its dimensions, optics, heat dissipation, and mounting geometry—and use that data to develop a perfectly customized LED insert that fits seamlessly into the existing installation.

Here's how it works

Our AI model analyzes the existing luminaire down to the millimeter. It maps the internal cavity, radiation/beam angle requirements, thermal behavior, and precise mechanical fit—and then generates a custom LED insert designed specifically for that particular luminaire. No guesswork. No generic “one-size-fits-all” replacement part. Just a precise, data-driven match between the old installation and new technology.

The result is a retrofit that looks, fits, and performs as if it were developed by the original manufacturer—because, in a sense, that is exactly the case: it was developed using AI trained on the fixture’s own blueprint.

Three reasons why this is a game-changer

A Path to a Lower ROI Replacing entire fixtures is expensive—materials, labor, disposal, and, in some cases, new wiring. An AI-matched LED insert fits directly into the existing fixture, significantly reducing both material costs and installation time. The payback period for energy savings alone is often a fraction of the time compared to a full fixture replacement.

A Path to Greater Sustainability Every light fixture that remains in place instead of ending up in a landfill is one that does not need to be manufactured again, shipped again, or disposed of. Keeping the fixture in place and simply upgrading the light source inside is one of the most sustainable retrofit decisions a building owner can make—it reduces material waste while still delivering the full efficiency benefits of modern LED technology.

A Way to Keep What Works Many downlights and spotlights were chosen for a reason—they complement the architecture, the interior design, and the character of the building. Why discard something that still looks right just because the light source inside has become outdated? Our approach lets you preserve the room’s visual identity while completely modernizing its performance.

Designed for all downlights and spotlights

This isn’t a solution for a single product line—it’s a method that applies across the entire spectrum of downlights and spotlights, regardless of manufacturer, age, or form factor. If it holds a light source, our AI model can analyze it, clone its specifications, and generate a replacement designed to match it.

The Bigger Picture

This is retrofitting done right: data-driven, sustainable, and respectful of the design decisions that have already been made in a building. It’s not about convincing you to replace what works—it’s about proving that what works can simply be upgraded from the inside out.
