LED Lighting For ShoppingLED Lighting For Shopping

Enhancing your customers’ experience while they are in store often comes down to having the right lighting available. When we go over the benefits of the various types of lighting and what will work best, LED lighting shows extensive promise in the market. If you’re considering upgrading your lighting, here are some of the top reasons why you should consider LED lighting for shopping in your facility!

Cost Benefits

Replacement costs are often what keeps many facilities from upgrading their lighting in the first place. When you invest in LED lighting, you will be responsible for paying a bit upfront, but the costs will be less in the long run as LED light bulbs and fixtures will consume far less power and they can last years longer for your maintenance schedule. Rather than having to regularly replace bulbs and paying expensive rates on your lighting costs, you can have a lighting system which can run while consuming only 25% of the power of a traditional incandescent lighting system. 

You Can Buy LED Bulbs in Batches

There are many lighting suppliers that are more than willing to work with local businesses and you’ll be able to buy your LED bulbs in batches. Getting consistent color temperatures and tone as well as buying in bulk will make sure that you can save for your store. LEDs are also an excellent way that you can cut down on your overall costs for heating and climate control. LEDs do not emit heat like other types of lighting fixtures and if you’re using halogens or incandescent bulbs, the lighting may fade over time as well. The lighting that you should choose will have a high color rendering index of at least 90 and this will make sure all the items in your store as well as the packaging that you are displaying will be per trade with its proper colors.

Dimmer Switches And Custom Controls

Adding dimmer switches and custom controls will ensure that you have even better control over your lighting output. With a dimmer switch, you’ll be able to easily dim the lights and decrease your energy usage as well as work at controlling the lighting for every display across your store. These controls can be particularly useful when you want to add soft lighting with specific products or add in interesting touches throughout your store. 

Compatible With Any Decorative Fixture

LED lighting is compatible with almost any type of lighting fixture on the market today. It can be easy to grab a customer’s attention with beautiful lighting sources placed above eye level on the walls or in creative spaces throughout your business. Having the option to install LED lighting and window displays in areas to grab customer attention can be important to selling high ticket or popular items. 

Easy Accent Lighting

LED strip lighting and accent lighting can be done in a breeze with the compact nature of the bulbs. Recessed lighting can be an excellent choice because it blends in with your ceiling and it can make any of your displays much more mobile. Track lighting can also make sure that you have highlight areas along the top or bottom of displays. Light bars and strip lights can all be integrated into your business and offer lighting improvements for very little cost. 

Task Oriented Lighting 

After your decorative and accent lighting is taken care of for displays you can also work at improving task oriented lighting. Adding LED displays around the cash register or throughout your inventory area will make sure that your staff can have all the tools they need to work in an energetic format and with accurate lighting.
