How can we help

Enhancing large retail spaces with smart and engaging lighting

Lighting is a key element in shaping the customer journey, especially within large retail spaces, ensuring an engaging, efficient, and seamless shopping experience. A well-lit environment improves product visibility, supports wayfinding, and creates an inviting atmosphere that encourages exploration and interaction. Advanced lighting solutions, such as dynamic lighting and smart controls, enhance both aesthetics and operational efficiency, helping retailers deliver a superior in-store experience.

Inviting and comfortable shopping experiences

Large stores can overwhelm shoppers. Thoughtfully designed lighting can transform that experience:

Well-designed lighting minimizes visual fatigue and enhances comfort, making the shopping experience more enjoyable.
Soft, evenly distributed lighting creates a welcoming environment, while strategic fixture placement ensures that aisles and displays are well-illuminated without glare or harsh contrasts.
Adjustable spotlights and accent lighting draw attention to featured collections, seasonal trends, and exclusive pieces, naturally guiding customers toward key displays and elevating the overall shopping experience.
Enhanced light levels at the periphery draws shoppers deeper into your store.

Guidance and zoning

Large retail store layouts often feature ‘product worlds’ where shoppers can immerse themselves and experience products.

Effective lighting design enhances navigation in large retail spaces by creating clearly defined zones, such as tools, electrical, plumbing, and woodwork in a typical DIY store. This strategic approach helps customers intuitively find what they need while improving overall store flow. - Dedicated task lighting highlights demo areas and workstations, inviting customers to engage with products through hands-on experiences.

Showcasing products in the best light

Customers want to see true colors, textures, and details before making a purchase. We have developed specialized light recipes that showcase your products in the best light.

For example furniture stores appreciate our lighting color recipes that ensure fabrics appear as they are, preventing color distortion and enhancing the overall shopping experience.
It’s also possible to enhance the contrast between color and whites, and achieve new depths of color for a more saturated vibrant fashion experience.
Cash & carry stores appreciate our fresh food light recipes that highlight the vibrant colors and textures of fresh products, from fruits and vegetables to meats, fish, cheeses and baked goods.

Energy efficiency and sustainability

Great lighting doesn’t have to come at the cost of efficiency. Smart solutions offer both:

Energy-efficient lighting solutions, consisting of LED technology, motion sensors, and automated dimming, help reduce operational costs while promoting sustainability.
Smart lighting controls and daylight harvesting optimize energy use by automatically adjusting brightness based on natural light levels.
