Retail lighting for shops and showrooms.

Showing off your true colours.

Shop lighting is not just an attractively lit window display and beautiful accent lighting, all areas of the store need to be carefully considered. Whether you are a small business with a single location or global brand operating retail stores across the world, high quality of the light is equally as important as the look and feel of the light fixtures. Creating the retail experience starts with selecting the right colour temperature and optics, both can help create the desired interior design effect and enhance the perception of the space and the brand. Using commercial retail lighting with high CRI of 90+ helps to portray colour, which is very important when presenting fashion and food merchandise.

Bespoke retail lighting.

Shop lighting doesn't have to be just high bay lighting with some spotlights thrown in. Depending on the space and the brand positioning, retail store lighting can range from standard recessed, suspended lighting  or surface mounted- depending  on the ceiling type or ceiling height.  Track lighting is a popular choice when you change your merchandise frequently. Luxury and more high-end retail spaces would benefit from feature lighting, which can be created using made-to-measure or bespoke lighting. 

Smart lighting in retail spaces.

With high energy prices, retailers too are trying to save money and improve efficiency where possible. This could mean a simple replacement of the existing fluorescent lighting with LED lights. But to achieve lower operating cost and enhance the user experience, the lighting installation has to be designed with different scene settings- with the help of wireless lighting controls. This allows features like colour changing or dimming. To keep the operating expenses in check, reduced outputs can be used at certain times of the day and the back of the house areas can be fitted with PIR sensors. This is best achieved by professional lighting design, where the most suitable types of lighting will be selected for each retail setting.
