The Power of Lighting & its Benefits on Retail Experience

When entering a store, customers get to experience the image and atmosphere of the brand. While they expect a certain type of product, they discover your brand image through the layout, the colours, and the interior design of the store. To emphasize all these elements, appropriate lighting is required. Besides, with the rise of online shopping, it is crucial to create a prestigious and unique experience that will invite customers to come back.

Accent lighting, lighting solutions for retail

Creating contrast with lighting will make perception easier and enhance the levels of attention of customers. Therefore, accent lighting is a way to communicate with your customers, guiding them through your store and keeping them active. Accent lighting is also a way to illustrate your brand: through the right lighting solutions, you can give an atmosphere that matches your brand’s spirit. Hence, it is important to make sure your store is not too bright or too dim.

Focusing on customers’ comfortability is a must, creating an eye-pleasing atmosphere. Through the lighting design of your store, you can also affect customer behaviour. While dimmed lighting gives a sense of privacy to your customers, a bright environment allows them to view your products in the context of natural lighting or everyday use. Adapting the lighting results in parts of your store depending on their purpose is therefore essential. Lighting must be planned early in the process of your store design, while defining your store image as well as the desired atmosphere.

Various lighting solutions for personalised illuminations

The benefits of lighting are now defined, what should you do to create your personalised atmosphere that matches your brand image? Through a variation of lighting solutions, you can create a unique, made-to-measure store experience. Within architectural lighting, you can find a range of products that will be used differently and will offer distinct results.

Tracklights

Track lights offer large flexibility and allow you to illuminate specific locations: Mannequins, shelves, POS. Hence, it helps to highlight certain products and focus on their details.

Downlights

For the overall ambiance of the store, downlights are recessed into the ceiling. They will clearly define the atmosphere of the space by making it more or less bright.

Strips & Linear lighting

Strip and linear lighting are also used on the ceiling to create indirect lighting. However, they can also be installed in furniture, illuminating the products placed inside.

Miniaturized lighting solutions

Like strips and linears, these lighting solutions are placed into furniture and serve the same purpose. As it highlights the content placed on the furniture, lighting levels must be three times brighter than the overall illuminance of the store, which will attract the customers. This is the type of lighting that should be taken advantage of: placing your new and seasonal collections in a brighter location of the store will guide them to it.

This effective overview of the lighting solutions available for your retail will help you define your needs and create an exciting place for your customers to visit and purchase in your store.

What is Human Centric Lighting (HCL)?

At the beginning of the 21st century, researchers discovered a third photoreceptor in the human eye, which regulates our internal clock, controls the day-night rhythm, and influences our well-being – providing biological benefits. Human beings are at the centre of the lighting concept in HCL. Life is regulated by time and space. 365 days, 24 hours a day, day, night, seasons in different places – everything has a rhythm and a dynamic.

Human beings are at the centre of the lighting concept.

Thanks to this discovery, it became clear that artificial lighting needs to meet many more requirements than simply providing light. Lighting in the workplace should be designed and positioned to promote concentration whilst at home it should be pleasant and realized for relaxation. The biological effects of light cannot be ignored, that’s why designers and architects should remind about this when designing and planning lighting concepts. Thanks to Human Centric Lighting, light goes beyond illumination to make life better for all of us, bringing higher quality of life, performance, and well-being.

Exploring Dimming Systems in Lighting

Lighting is not just about turning it on or off; it’s about creating the perfect ambiance and adapting to different needs and moods. Dimming systems have revolutionized the way we control and manipulate light levels, offering flexibility and customization. In this blog post, we will delve into the world of dimming systems in lighting, exploring their benefits, applications, and the impact they have on our daily lives.

Benefits of Dimming Systems:

1. Energy Efficiency: Dimming systems allow for precise control over light output, enabling users to reduce energy consumption. By dimming lights when full brightness is not required, energy usage can be significantly reduced, resulting in cost savings and environmental benefits.
2. Customizable Ambiance: Dimming systems provide the ability to create different lighting scenes and moods. Whether it’s a cozy and intimate setting for a romantic dinner or a bright and vibrant atmosphere for a social gathering, dimming allows for easy adjustment of light levels to suit the desired ambiance.
3. Visual Comfort: Bright lights can sometimes be harsh on the eyes, causing discomfort and fatigue. Dimming systems allow users to reduce light levels to a comfortable and soothing level, promoting visual comfort and reducing eye strain.

Applications of Dimming Systems:

1. Residential Spaces: Dimming systems are commonly used in residential settings to create versatile lighting options. From adjusting the brightness in living rooms and bedrooms to setting the mood in dining areas or home theaters, dimming systems offer homeowners the flexibility to create the perfect lighting environment for any occasion.
2. Commercial Buildings: Dimming systems find extensive use in commercial spaces such as offices, hotels, restaurants, and retail stores. In offices, dimming systems can be used to optimize lighting levels based on natural light availability and individual preferences, enhancing productivity and comfort. In retail stores and restaurants, dimming systems help create attractive displays and ambiance, influencing customer experience and satisfaction.
3. Outdoor Lighting: Dimming systems are also employed in outdoor lighting applications. They allow for adjusting the brightness of landscape lighting, highlighting specific features or creating a subtle and inviting atmosphere. In street lighting, dimming systems can be used to save energy during low-traffic periods while maintaining adequate visibility for safety.

Dimming systems have a significant impact on our daily lives, enhancing our comfort, well-being, and overall experience. They provide the flexibility to adapt lighting to different activities, moods, and preferences, allowing us to create spaces that cater to our needs. Whether it’s creating a relaxing ambiance at home, optimizing work environments, or enhancing the aesthetics of public spaces, dimming systems empower us to have greater control over our lighting experiences.

Dimming systems have transformed the way we interact with light, offering a range of benefits and applications. From energy efficiency and customizable ambiance to visual comfort, dimming systems provide the flexibility and control needed to create the perfect lighting environment. As we continue to prioritize personalized experiences and sustainability, dimming systems will play an increasingly crucial role in lighting design, shaping the way we illuminate our homes, workplaces, and public spaces.

What is CRI?

The CRI (Color Rendering Index) is the index measuring how accurately a light source reproduces colors on a scale from 1 to 100. This tool helps to understand the efficiency of LEDs to reflect the right color. The higher the CRI is high the more the color rendering is accurate. Nowadays, especially in retail, CRI 90+ is the minimum. Indeed the customers will be more attracted if the color perception is accentuated and real.

Why CRI90+ is crucial in luxury retail and hospitality?

Because nowadays each brand is focusing on developing sales trough bettering customer experience trough high-end visual merchandising proposals. The color is triggering most of the emotions and it appears more and more as leverage to develop brand identity. Rely on CRI 90+ is consequently the motor to drive and trigger the emotions of customers.

Do you know how we manufacture the best-LED Chip?

The chips are produced in batch (millions of LED Chip) upon process completion we track & control color consistency of Chips. The MacAdam step is the index that provides the accuracy of color temperature distinguished by human eyes. This process that segregates the chips according to this factor is called the binning. The binning defines the rating from 1Step MacAdam to 5step MacAdam.

Why it is so important?

The landscape of architecture is made to be harmonious in terms of lighting intent. The smaller the MacAdam step is, the most consistent & harmonious the design result is.

What is CCT in lighting?

When it comes to lighting, we often consider factors such as brightness and energy efficiency. However, there is another crucial aspect that significantly affects our perception of light: correlated color temperature (CCT). CCT plays a vital role in setting the mood, ambiance, and functionality of a space. In this blog post, we will delve into the concept of CCT, its significance in lighting design, and how it can impact our daily lives.

Understanding Correlated Color Temperature (CCT)

Correlated color temperature refers to the measure of the color appearance of light emitted by a source, specifically how “warm” or “cool” it appears to the human eye. It is measured in Kelvin (K) and is based on the principle that as the temperature increases, the color of light shifts from warm to cool. Lower CCT values, such as 2700K-3000K, are associated with warm or yellowish light, resembling the cozy glow of candlelight or incandescent bulbs. On the other hand, higher CCT values, such as 5000K-6500K, produce cooler or bluish light, resembling daylight or fluorescent lighting.

Applications of CCT in Lighting

1. Residential Lighting: In residential settings, CCT selection can significantly impact the mood and comfort of a space. Warmer CCTs are often preferred in bedrooms and living rooms, creating a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. Cooler CCTs, on the other hand, are commonly used in kitchens and workspaces, providing a brighter and more focused light for tasks.

2. Commercial Lighting: CCT plays a crucial role in commercial environments, where the right lighting can enhance productivity, customer experience, and safety. For instance, retail stores may opt for warmer CCTs to create a welcoming and inviting ambiance, while offices may choose cooler CCTs to promote alertness and concentration.

3. Outdoor Lighting: CCT is also important in outdoor lighting applications. Warmer CCTs are often used in landscape lighting to create a serene and natural feel, while cooler CCTs are employed in security lighting to enhance visibility and deter potential threats.

The Impact of CCT on Daily Life

The CCT of lighting can have a profound impact on our daily lives. Research suggests that cooler CCTs can help improve focus, alertness, and productivity, making them suitable for work environments. Conversely, warmer CCTs can promote relaxation and comfort, making them ideal for leisure spaces or winding down before sleep. Correlated color temperature (CCT) is a critical aspect of lighting design that influences the mood, functionality, and overall experience of a space. By understanding CCT and its applications, we can make informed decisions when selecting lighting solutions for our homes, workplaces, and public areas. Whether it’s creating a cozy atmosphere or optimizing productivity, the right CCT can transform the way we perceive and interact with light in our daily lives.
