Looking for a Retrolux Alternative?
Retrolux closed in 2026 after 12 years. If your team audited on it, LumaQuote gives you the same kind of field app for iPad, iPhone and Android that works offline, and a desktop workspace that turns the audit into a finished proposal. We help you bring your product list and open projects with you, free.

What to do with your Retrolux data →
Keep your field workflow
iPad, iPhone and Android field audits that work with no signal.
If your crew already audits on a tablet or phone, nothing changes on site. Walk the building, add each area and space, count the fixtures and take photos. The audit is waiting in LumaQuote when you get back to the office.
- Saves on the device first. It uploads on its own when you are back online.
- Photos filed by space and fixture. Fixture, nameplate and ceiling shots stay with the right line.
- Imports on its own. New audits show up on your dashboard with site notes and photos.
- Desktop edits are safe. Update an audit from the tablet or phone and the changes you made at the desk stay.
Included on every plan. Runs on iPad, iPhone and Android. iPad and iPhone guide → Android guide →

Where LumaQuote wins
We move your data with you
Your product and price list goes into My Library and your open projects are set up, so you keep quoting from day one.
Same-day path from site walk to proposal
The audit from the field is on your dashboard when you get back. Retrofit, Rebates, Installation and Proposal run in one workspace.
PDF and Word, both included
Send a PDF, or a Word file the client can mark up. The installer gets a work order with no prices.
Canada and US built in
Pick the region and the utility rate, demand charge, CO₂ factor and rebate program name fill in. Tax lines have province presets.
Published price, free to start
The Free plan covers 3 complete proposals with no credit card. Pro is $99 a month or $899 a year. No demo needed to see it.
What works differently
Ordering and installation
Retrolux ran ordering and installation inside the platform. LumaQuote takes you to the signed proposal, then hands off with a work order and a material list for your own suppliers.
Where you audit
The Retrolux Pro app also ran on newer Macs. With LumaQuote you audit on the tablet or phone, and the desktop workspace runs in any browser, Mac or Windows.
Best fit
Who LumaQuote is built for.
Electrical contractors and small retrofit teams
Teams writing 5 to 30 commercial retrofit proposals a year who want to go from site walk to proposal in the same day, without an onboarding week.
Distributors and ESCOs with field crews
Crews audit on the tablet or phone, estimators price at the desk. Photos, notes and counts arrive together, so nobody calls the site to ask what a fixture was. The Team plan gives each person a role in one company account.
US and Canadian contractors
Utility rates for your region are built in, so savings and payback are right from the first draft. Rebate amounts stay editable per fixture.
FAQ
Switching from Retrolux: common questions.
Has Retrolux shut down?
Yes. The Retrolux website says the company closed in 2026, after starting in 2014, and asks existing customers to contact Retrolux support. If you still have a login, export your projects, product list and photos now, while you can. Then send us the files and we set up LumaQuote with you, free for Retrolux customers.
Can I bring my Retrolux data into LumaQuote?
Yes, and we do the setup with you, free for Retrolux customers. Send us what you can export: Excel or CSV files, or PDF reports. We load your product and pricing list into My Library, and set up your open projects so you can keep quoting. Past photos stay in your own records. New photos are taken with the LumaQuote iPad, iPhone and Android app and filed by space and fixture.
Is there an iPad, iPhone and Android app for field audits?
Yes. LumaQuote Field is our iPad, iPhone and Android app for lighting audits, included on every plan. You add areas, spaces, fixture types, quantities, hours, condition and photos while you walk the building. The audit then appears in your LumaQuote dashboard, ready to price as a retrofit proposal.
Does the field app work offline?
Yes. Every fixture count and photo is saved on the tablet or phone first, so you can audit basements, parking garages and steel warehouses with no signal. The audit uploads on its own when the device is back online. The first sign-in on a new device needs a connection.
How much does LumaQuote cost?
Pricing is published on our website. The Free plan includes 3 complete retrofit proposals and the iPad, iPhone and Android app, with no credit card. Pro is $99 per month or $899 per year and includes unlimited projects and every feature, including controls analysis, rebate tracking and PDF and Word export. LumaQuote Team is $349 per month with 3 users, or $3,490 per year, for companies with several auditors and estimators.
Can I try LumaQuote without a sales call?
Yes. Sign up for the Free plan and run a real project from audit to proposal on your own. If you are moving from another tool and want help with your data, book a short migration call.
Does LumaQuote work for Canadian and US projects?
Yes. US and Canadian utility rates are built in, so energy costs and savings use your region from the start. You can still edit any rate for a specific client.
What does LumaQuote focus on?
LumaQuote covers the path from site audit to finished proposal for small and midsize retrofit teams: iPad, iPhone and Android audits, LED and controls savings, rebates, installation pricing, and PDF and Word proposals. You quote from your own product list in My Library, imported from Excel or CSV. Proposals are ready for the e-signature tool you already use, and the installer work order hands the job to your crew. Crew scheduling and job tracking stay in your current system.
