The quantity and quality of illumination, the impression it creates about the merchandise and the effect it has on the retail area’s appearance are all factors in a successful lighting design. A designer must consider a variety of key characteristics when developing their lighting plan including lamp life, system efficiency, lumen maintenance, color rendering and appearance, daylight integration and control, light distribution, points of interest, cost, system control and flexibility.
• Make the store look bright and open with by using a natural looking light source.
• Establish a visually comfortable environment in which to evaluate merchandise.
• Provide a visual hierarchy to direct the shopper to “must see” items and specials.
• Create a signature appearance throughout the store.
• Reduce heat from lighting fixtures; especially in areas with perishable products.
• Lower maintenance and energy costs.
Supermarket lighting must have great color; choosing light with the right color temperature and CRI is crucial. Lighting is a key factor in projecting and supporting store image; not only enhancing the look and appeal of merchandise, but af fecting the feeling of the space itself. Two units of measure are used defining light source color properties: Correlated Color Temperature and Color Rendering Index. All light sources are not equal. Two white light sources may look the same, but can render colors differently or provide a different feel to the space. By using lamps of the same Correlated Color Temperature and with the same, or very similar,Color Rendering Indices, the space will have even, consistent illumination throughout.
Reflection and glare are both useful and potentially harmful to retail lighting; they can attract the eye to merchandise when used properly, but irritate and annoy when used incorrectly.Using luminaires with good glare reduction values avoids direct glare and disturbing reflections on specular surfaces,such as glossy fixtures, register screens and PIN pads.A very bright store is not the most effective lighting solution. Using contrast to highlight merchandise and different areas of the space, helps customers feel more comfortable and draws attention to featured merchandise.
