Benefits of LED lighting in stores
Customers are keen to go to a retail store with the best lighting, from shopping for food to trying on clothes. LED bulbs can provide this personalised experience with better lighting performance, resulting in the following benefits:
Enhanced experience
The quality of lighting defines the overall store image. Using the correct power and size of lighting for the space allows for a more enjoyable shopping experience. The more enjoyable the experience, the longer customers will spend in the store to connect with your brand and products.
Encourage purchases
Using bright lights to showcase products in window displays is the first step to leading customers into the store. LED lights can enhance the products you want to sell, such as products on offer or more expensive options. Increased visibility will encourage purchases and improve retail sales.
Less product waste
Food stores can reduce the number of products wasted for going out of date.
Studies show that meat products displayed under LED lights have longer product shelf life due to LEDs emitting less heat.
Slash store running costs
LEDs are 80% more energy efficient than traditional bulbs. This means that stores will save on electricity bills and improve business finances. LEDs are also more eco-friendly, which is important for brands that speak out about being conscious of their environmental impact.
Lower store maintenance
LEDs have a much longer lifespan than halogens, with the majority of LED retail lights lasting 50,000 hours. Therefore, the lights will need to be changed less often. As well as saving on new fixture costs, the store can continue to run smoothly, with less down time since LEDs require less maintenance.
What types of lights are in retail stores?
Customers are keen to go to a retail store with the best lighting, from shopping for food to trying on clothes. LED bulbs can provide this personalised experience with better lighting performance, resulting in the following benefits:
Ambient lighting
The store’s main lighting, usually overhead bulbs. Consider something bright to illuminate the whole store. LED panel lighting and LED low bays; panels are ideal for fitting into plasterboard ceilings between joists for a flush fit, whilst low bays are great for stores that are between 12 to 20 feet high.
Task lighting
Task lighting focuses on areas that need more light, like tills and changing rooms. LED down lights allow customers to clearly see how clothes fit and staff can handle cards and money with precision. Task lighting can also highlight store signs and entrance areas.
Accent lighting
This type of retail lighting is used to draw customers to specific products to give importance. Accent lighting is best placed in window displays to entice passersby into the store. COB LED down lights are flexible and you can tilt them to various beam angles to ensure products are highlighted.
Decorative lighting
This one is all about visual appeal and is less focused on illumination - think fairy lights and candles. Decorative lighting can be used to evoke positive emotions, which can benefit retail sales. It is commonly used in seasonal displays such as Christmas.
