Ultimate Guide To Retail LED Lighting

Retail LED lighting is changing the retail world, but with change comes new things to learn when designing for new retail led lighting environments.

 

What is Retail LED lighting?

Retail LED lighting is an energy efficient alternative to traditional PAR and fluorescent lighting.  The average life span of LED lights is 50,000 hours and are available in a wide variety of Kelvin temperatures while offering some the highest in color rendering index (CRI).

A popular form of retail led lighting known as LED directional lighting offers retail stores the ability to control the angle of which light is emitted while being able to control the color brightness level, timing and more.

For retail stores that want to stay with their current retail lighting fixtures, LED retrofits are available that allow you to replace your current energy-burning incandescent or fluorescent bulbs.

 

Advantages of Retail LED Lighting

Traditional fluorescent and incandescent retail lighting fixtures create radiance in a restricted variety of light temperatures and color-rendering indexes, making them satisfactory for only one or two retail lighting arrangements. Because retail LED lighting can be fully customized to fit the needs of any retail store, businesses are turning to LED retail lighting to create unique yet visually appealing stores.

From led strip lights to custom LED light guide panels you can use LEDs to create the perfect customer experiences! By selecting the right form of retail led lighting, you can dramatically improve product display areas and shelf, better separate store sections, and highlight your stores décor and layout.

From creating a warm and inviting entrance to improving the way you spotlight new products and specials LED retail lighting can be used to improve your brand’s perception significantly.

The benefits of LED strip lights are endless! Brick and mortar stores that are fighting against online e-commerce websites will see immediate savings when it comes to energy costs and a reduction in operating costs when switching to retail LED lighting. Not to mention the average retail LED light lasts 50,000 hours.

 

4 Principals of Effective LED Retail Lighting

The new generation of retailers recognize that stores require a minimum of four retail LED lighting configurations:

  1. Ambient lighting: this eradicates any low-lit or dark spaces in a store
  2. Task lighting: spotlights areas like check out, store’s signs, changing rooms, etc
  3. Accent lighting: places focus on specific products, shelves, or display nooks
  4. Decorative lighting: adds a welcoming, visual appeal that improves brand image
