Is your church's outdated lighting driving up utility bills, requiring frequent bulb changes, or failing to create the right ambiance for worship? Many houses of worship still rely on inefficient incandescent, halogen, or fluorescent systems that waste energy and generate excess heat.
At Voss Lighting, we specialize in energy efficient church lighting upgrades through custom LED retrofits and full-system designs. Our turnkey solutions help churches reduce energy bills by 50-80%, slash maintenance costs, improve light quality, and qualify for utility rebates—all while preserving your sanctuary's historic or modern aesthetic.
With nationwide expertise and local branches, we deliver professional design, installation, and ongoing support to churches across the country.
LED technology is ideal for churches because it delivers:
Many churches see ROI in 1-3 years through energy savings and rebates alone.
Our church projects demonstrate the impact of energy efficient upgrades. View full details and any available project photos on our Case Studies page.
This historic sanctuary used inefficient incandescent and halogen lamps. We retrofitted existing decorative pendants and house lights with dimmable LED bulbs and added wireless controllability via app/iPad. The upgrade preserved the traditional aesthetic while delivering crisp, uniform LED illumination that highlights the wooden ceiling. The church now enjoys effortless scene control and major energy reduction from outdated bulbs.
Facing high energy costs and maintenance from 500W quartz lamps (hot-running, short-lived, brittle sockets), we replaced 260 fixtures with integrated, low-wattage LED systems and updated dimming/controls. Results: Projected over $14,000 in annual energy savings, virtually maintenance-free lighting (25× longer life), cooler operation, and user-friendly control for worship services.
Regulatory changes banned inefficient quartz lamps, and a lightning strike damaged the dimming system. Structural challenges (basement below sanctuary) complicated access. We installed 140 energy-efficient LED can fixtures with Casambi controls, integrated into existing DMX, and used professional scaffolding. Outcomes: 80% energy savings (reduced from 45,900W to 8,950W), superior light quality, extended lifespan, and reliable performance.
