Your successful lighting zones

A lighting study is essential to design the optimal lighting for the different areas of a store. It consists of an in-depth analysis of the technical data specific to each space, with the aim of capturing the customer’s attention and enhancing the products. Our solutions integrate cutting-edge technologies, such as efficient, low-maintenance LED lighting and HCL sensors that automatically adjust brightness and colour temperature throughout the day. These innovations respect people’s natural biological rhythm, creating an ideal lighting atmosphere for every area of the store, whether the entrance, the reception, the sales area, the waiting area or the fitting rooms.

The main lighting zones in your store

Store entrance and reception

For professional lighting in the entrance and reception area of a store, it is essential to create a welcoming environment for customers while ensuring visual comfort:

IntensityA light intensity of 300 to 500 lux is recommended for this area.
TemperatureFor a modern and energising atmosphere, opt for a light of 3000K to 3500K (yellow-white). For a warmer and more welcoming atmosphere, opt for a light of 2000K to 2500K.
Shop windowsShop windows should appear brighter than their surroundings: lighting with a beam angle of 36° is ideal. LEDs of 1000 to 2000 lux light the products sufficiently in detail.

Sales area and checkouts

For the sales and checkout area of a store, lighting is crucial to ensure a pleasant shopping experience, facilitate transactions and showcase the products:

TemperatureUse a similar temperature to the entrance area to maintain visual continuity throughout the store.
Focused lightingUse accent lighting towards product display areas. For aisles, recessed luminaires or LED track lights provide uniform lighting.
Checkout lightingGlare-free light (UGR < 19) with a power of at least 500 lux is recommended to make the staff’s work more pleasant. An LED track system can be used to ensure optimised lighting.

Fitting area

For the fitting area of a store, good lighting is essential to ensure that customers can see the clothes they are trying on properly and feel comfortable in this space:

TemperatureUse a colour temperature close to natural light (between 3500K and 4000K) to faithfully reproduce the colours of the clothes and ensure good visibility.
IntensityAn intensity of 200 to 400 lux is generally appropriate for fitting rooms.
GlarePosition the light sources so as to avoid any direct glare in customers’ eyes.

Features of retail lighting

Product-focused lighting

Retail luminaires use light that showcases the products and creates a welcoming atmosphere for customers. Lighting with a high proportion of bright white light is often used to draw attention to goods and encourage impulse purchases.

In a retail store, lighting needs vary according to the areas and the types of products on display. For example:

Clothing areas: Full-spectrum lighting with good colour reproduction (high CRI) is essential so that customers can see the true colours of the clothes. Directional spotlights can also be used to accentuate displays and draw attention to new collections.
Electronics and luxury goods: More intense, focused lighting can be used to create points of interest and highlight the details and quality of the products.

Technical features

CRI (Colour Rendering Index)

The CRI measures a light’s ability to render the colours of objects faithfully. It ranges from 0 to 100: the higher the CRI, the more accurate and vibrant the colours appear.
A high CRI is crucial in contexts where colour accuracy matters, such as shops, because it makes products more attractive. Although high-CRI LEDs are more expensive, they offer better quality, professional light that helps sales.

Colour of the light

Colour temperature influences how we feel in a room: bright light in a shop could be uncomfortable, while warm light in an office would harm productivity. LED colour codes help identify the temperature of the light.
Bulbs with a low CRI produce lower-quality light, with dull, yellowish colours. High-efficiency LEDs combined with a track system are ideal for intensive professional use, as they combine a high CRI, a long lifespan and superior light quality.

Sustainability

Using LED store lighting guarantees ecological and economic sustainability on several levels:

Significant energy savings thanks to reduced wattage.
Optimal brightness thanks to an improved luminous efficacy of 100 lm/W.
High colour rendering, reaching at least Ra 80 to Ra 90.
Wide choice of light colours to meet specific needs.
Extended lifespan of at least 50,000 hours, ensuring greater longevity.
No infrared (IR) or ultraviolet (UV) radiation that could alter the quality of products.
