Unfolding Narratives

high end retail spaces. Leveraging one of the
fundamental qualities of the LED source, the small
size, the range proposes in minimum size devices with
high luminous efficiency, equipped with high
chromatic rendering index LEDs, built in appliances
with the utmost care for the dissipation and with a
level of finishing that is at apt for retail spaces.
The various aspects of lighting that can be
amalgamated or used independently for retail spaces:
Accent Lighting creates a dramatic prominence on
merchandise using a focused light source. It adds
depth, contrast and creates a focal point for
merchandise to be displayed along with highlighting
shape, texture, finish and colour of merchandise,
pulling consumers to it. Accent lighting for retail
stores helps to highlight certain parts of a store or lend
a specific mood to the place.
Decorative lighting serves 2 purposes – contributes to
the lighting layers in a retail environment along with
enhancing the look of the space as a design element.
Decorative lighting includes pendants, sconces,
chandeliers, table and floor lamps, etc. It should be
kept in mind that decorative lighting should
complement and add visual interest to the interior, as
well as provide or contribute to the
overall lighting plan.
Window Lighting: Every retailer
is competing for the customer’s
attention; the retail window is an
opportunity break the clutter and
stand out. Attract customers with
play, engage the passersby with
intense white light using uniform
saturated illumination, direct
accent lighting to highlight and to
define the merchandise. The whole
idea is to create stopping power
that will make people want to come
inside and invest in the shop.

Shelf, Case & Counter Lighting:
The most universal way to light
these spaces is to use small sources
– such as LED tapelight – close to
the display objects, but hidden
from view. It is crucial to display
products creatively to heighten
their appeal. Illuminance levels
should be 3-5 times higher than the
surrounding ambient light,
highlighting merchandise for easy
evaluation by the clients.
A well-illuminated store directly
contributes to the overall
personality of the shop. Instead of
increasing brightness in shops and
therefore their energy
consumption, use lighting that is
high-contrast which makes
perception easier and heightens the
level of attention.
