Have You Met Our Customised Conversions Department?
This is where lighting products arrive to be upgraded with additional features, retrofit lighting projects are accomplished and our cut-to-length LED Strip Service is provided.
But these services are only part of the picture because Customised Conversions is the problem-solving hub of ROBUS, where all the weird and wonderful lighting designs that need a more personalised solution are welcome!
What is a Customised Conversion?
A lighting conversion involves transforming a standard light fitting by incorporating extra features to improve its functionality. This can involve installing a battery pack to upgrade the fitting to a self-testing emergency device or implementing a corridor function (3 step dimming) for increased energy efficiency.

Sustainable Upgrade:
How Does an LED Batten Retrofit Work?
1. Remove all original lamps and other components from the fluorescent light.
2. Check the ballast and remove if required.
3. Keep the original fitting for a sustainable cost-effective upgrade.
4. Attach LED kit to the original gear tray and add a new driver.
5. Let there be light!
The Result
Beyond the benefits of upgrading to LED, this retrofit provides exceptional cost savings by keeping the original fitting and eliminating the need for redecorating. No repainting or replastering necessary.

Case Studies
Introducing a Night Light Function to GOLF EXPRESS
It all began with a simple question from a customer:
“What’s the best night light for nursing homes?”
Dimmable downlights were a good option, but we had a better idea. We knew our GOLF EXPRESS was already a popular choice for nursing homes, so we did what we do best
— a customised conversion!
Customised Conversion in Action
– LED Strip Applied to Gear Tray
– Low Light Feature Added
– Upgraded Switches: One For the Regular Light, One for the Night Light
The Result
100 converted GOLF EXPRESS were bought for nursing homes nationwide. This conversion was not only a cost-effective and sustainable solution, but it also ensured minimal disturbance for the nursing home residents during installation.
5-Star Luxury Hotel, Dublin
Our cut-to-length service is a speedy solution for large-scale lighting projects. Our team prepacked everything required into handy kits for a super smooth installation at this luxury hotel in Dublin.
What Might You Find in Our Prepacked Kits?
– Precut LED strip
– 2m tail
– Compatible driver
– Label with the relevant room, floor, strip code, etc.
The prepacked kits provided through our cut-to-length service are fully tested before delivery, guaranteeing a streamlined installation.
The Result
Massive time savings! Arranging and preparing LED strip for a 35,000 sq. ft. hotel would take significant time without our cut-to-length service. The hidden bonus? Cost savings. Thanks to our prepacked kits being ready-to-use, an apprentice can efficiently complete the installations with confidence.

With no minimum order quantity, there is no project too small (or too big!).
