Light guide for Fashion and Retail stores
The light is powerful. More powerful than any of us think. In the retail sector, light is a decisive factor. Since its main objective is to help customers navigate, choose, buy and then, remember with love the shopping experience. Experience is one of the most important factors that decide on a sale.
Lighting is also crucial to create your brand identity, it is a marketing tool in itself. Each brand points to unique customer experience for a defined target segment and this is defined through a patented light concept, complementing the furniture or design plan. The best way to make your store look amazing is through the use of
LED lighting technology.
The science of retail lighting:
Special color temperatures for vibrant, rich and saturated colored clothes: this is what you want your merchandise to express. The
LED technology has developed a range of special color temperature luminaires, each suitable for a particular type of merchandise or store brand.
Where to start
Although customers perceive a store brand and a shopping trip as a unique experience, the store's lighting is structured around four types of lighting, each suitable for particular functions:
General lighting and wall washing
General lighting is intended to help staff perform various tasks and provide a satisfactory level of visual comfort for shoppers. It is not intended to illuminate merchandise. This light should be diffuse and uniform, avoiding glare. For this, use recessed accessories with various beam angles to achieve the desired effect. Wall washing helps create a sense of space, vertically delimiting between rooms or stores
Task lighting
Task lighting is intended to support specific tasks, such as completing a sale or attracting customers. When designing for tasks, consider the level of contrast. With the surrounding space. The most frequent task areas within a store are the entrance, counters and locker rooms.
Accent lighting
The accent is what sells. This is how to illuminate specific merchandise to show it to the fullest. Accent lighting should create the type of contrast required to draw attention to special points of interest.
Decorative lighting
Finally, you have decorative or architectural lighting designed to improve space as a design element. You can use pendants, chandeliers or table and floor lamps.
FADING COLOR
Did you know that LED luminaires emit zero ultraviolet radiation? Ultraviolet light is sometimes damaging colors, through a process called photodegradation. All dies have light absorption. The color bodies called chromophores. UV rays break their chemical bonds, interfering with their ability to absorb and reflect light, a phenomenon called "bleaching." Having LED luminaires without UV rays is a great advantage, especially if you sell shoes, where normally only one of the shoes is on display. With a traditional luminaire, the displayed shoes degrade quickly, so you have to sacrifice a pair, maybe every 4 to 6 weeks. For stores that sell dozens or hundreds of couples, being able to sell the pair on display is an increase in revenue.
