Showroom Lighting

Areas To Consider

Lighting plays an essential role in putting together an aesthetically captivating showroom. Showrooms act as the storefront of the company, they inform customers about the product offerings and display items for sale. Since selling is the primary goal here, it is essential that all products be presented the most appealing light.

Product Display

Effective lighting enhances the appeal of any product, while poor lighting can have the opposite effect, actually making products less desirable to consumers. For example, in a paint shop showroom, the colour swatches and available product displays should stand out for customers.

Since the illumination of colours will have a huge impact on their appearance, it is important to highlight all products using professional lighting from a high quality source.

Point Of Sale

Service counters and cash registers in a showroom need to be well defined to help direct customers to the service area. LED linear profiles are an excellent way to highlight the counter without detracting from the product displays. They can be customised to any length and colour to fit the desired purpose. These light fittings can be fixed or suspended in the same way as LED track lights. Suspended linear profiles give the room a very elegant and architectural look, bringing an extra touch of class to any showroom.

Office Spaces and Meeting Rooms

Choosing the right lighting in an office space impacts working conditions, productivity and overall aesthetics of the space. Staff will perform better in a healthy and suitably lit work environment created specifically for practical use. Attention must also be paid to the overall look of the lighting plan and the image impression it creates for visitors of your premise. Lighting in meeting rooms and all client facing areas of the premises should fit within a consistent lighting scheme to improve the overall design of the space.
