Shops

In store lighting, well-designed lighting has a positive effect on sales and lighting works as part of the display. This helps to focus the customer's attention on the products being sold and makes them feel comfortable in a space that is dazzle-free and appropriate in terms of ambience. Lighting makes it easy to control customer behaviour in the store environment. Well-designed lighting makes products more visible and highlights their colours and texts.

Amount of light

In commercial premises, the amount of light needed often varies. Inside the store, lighting is used to showcase products, and in the checkout areas, lighting should be sufficient to facilitate shopping. Display windows can be illuminated at higher levels than other areas to create an attractive impression.

In shops, it is also a good idea to pay attention to the colour rendering index (CRI) of the luminaires. A high colour rendering index reproduces the colours of products in a true-to-life way.

Luminaires

In stores, luminaires are preferred to create uniform and glare-free lighting. General lighting is often created with larger, efficient luminaires, and targeted luminaires are used to highlight specific products or departments. LED strips can be used to create distinctive details, illuminate shelving, walkways or logos.
