LED lighting and controls

Commercial lighting and lighting controls contractor

Tapps Electric installs commercial lighting and lighting control systems for offices, schools, retail, healthcare and industrial buildings in Western Washington.

The Washington State Energy Code makes lighting controls a real scope of work, with occupancy sensing, daylight zones and functional testing. We install the system, program it with the manufacturer and hand over something the owner can actually operate.

Lighting and controls scope

  • Interior LED lighting for new construction and tenant improvements
  • LED retrofits and one-for-one fixture replacements
  • Networked and wireless lighting control systems
  • Occupancy, vacancy and daylight sensors
  • Exterior, site and parking lot lighting
  • Emergency and egress lighting
  • Specialty and architectural lighting
  • Functional testing and startup with the manufacturer

Lighting packages that match the spec

We send the fixture schedule to the lighting representatives who carry the specified brands, so the price we bid matches what the architect drew. If a substitution would save money without changing the design, we show it as an alternate.

Campus and school lighting

Our lighting replacement at St. Benedict in Seattle updated classrooms on a campus that dates to 1908, working room by room in existing ceilings.
