LifeTime LED® reduces the need to replace integrated fixtures, using a patented renewable light module designed to lower downtime, labor costs and LED landfill waste.
FRESNO, Calif., May 14, 2026 — Linmore, an American lighting and controls innovator, today introduces LifeTime LED, a series of commercial and industrial lighting fixtures that represent LED 2.0 technology. LifeTime LED provides a uniquely renewable, sustainable and cost-effective solution that enables fixture maintenance for the lifespan of a building.
Using patented plug-and-play ReLuma® Modules, LifeTime LED technology reduces the material, labor and landfill costs associated with replacing whole fixtures. The technology simplifies routine renewal, reduces maintenance complexity and minimizes downtime. Depending on application and maintenance assumptions, some projects realize lifecycle savings up to 70 percent. LifeTime further reduces landfill waste by repurposing or recycling used ReLuma Modules.
“Since the mass adoption of LED lighting more than a decade ago, the industry has followed a replacement model in which integrated fixtures are removed and replaced at end of life,” explained Paul Chamberlain, Linmore President and CEO. “While LED technology improved energy efficiency, it never addressed what happens when systems reach end of life, including not just the time and labor to replace the fixtures, but also the waste involved.
“LifeTime LED introduces a game-changing approach, employing patented ReLuma Modules that allow lighting to be quickly and easily renewed while extending the life of the fixture for the life of the building.”
Wes Fannin, Linmore Director of Strategic Sales & Innovation and inventor of the Reluma Module, described the new technology as a “do-over” and an unprecedented opportunity to advance LED lighting to the next level. “In its excitement to realize the many benefits of LED lighting, the industry made the oversight of not treating LED lighting fixtures as infrastructure. As a result, integrated LED lighting fixures have become landfill waste. Our patented technology changes that model and offers a practical path toward a more affordable and sustainable future.”
As Easy as Changing a Lightbulb.
The modular LifeTime LED design integrates LED diodes and the driver into a single removable unit. When renewal is required, the module can be replaced while the fixture remains in place. In many applications, modules can be replaced in under a minute through a simplified plug-and-play approach that reduces disruption and service time.
John Gilmore, Linmore Chief Revenue Officer explained, “As early-generation LED systems begin to reach end of life, organizations face increasing costs tied to labor, downtime and material disposal. In fact, some industry projections estimate that 800,000 to 1 million tons of LED waste could enter landfills annually in the coming years.
“LifeTime LED represents LED 2.0 — moving beyond efficient fixtures to renewable lighting infrastructure,” said Gilmore. “It forces an industry decision: continue replacing fixtures at end of life, or adopt a lifetime technology designed to renew them.”
The technology is initially being applied across multiple lighting configurations, including troffers, door kits and strip lighting, and is ideal for most commercial and industrial applications. For more information, visit linmoreled.com
