Lighting in supermarkets: innovative solutions for even greater working and entertainment comfort

Shop spaces, including supermarkets, today should not only offer a wide range of products, but also an exceptional shopping experience. Appropriate lighting plays a huge role in this process, affecting not only the aesthetics of the interior, but also the comfort and safety of consumers.

The role of lighting in shops

Lighting in supermarkets has a number of important functions. One of its tasks is to provide adequate visibility for products, which helps to identify them effectively. This is where accent lighting is perfect, especially for shop windows or stands. But lighting must also build atmosphere and nurture shoppers' emotions. This makes them want to return to shop in a particular place that creates a special atmosphere. Finally, good quality lighting improves safety by eliminating the risk of dangerous situations.

Adapting lighting to suit

Supermarkets are large spaces, divided into zones. Each of these requires an individual approach to lighting in order to ensure comfortable movement and vision for both shoppers and staff. Different lamps will therefore be found in the checkout area, where traffic is somewhat less dynamic, and completely different in the main aisle of the shop, where we often move in a hurry.

Another extremely important factor that has a direct impact on the wellbeing of people in the market is the elimination of the glare effect. This phenomenon occurs when a lamp generates too strong and inadequately diffused light. This can lead to many unpleasant discomforts such as headaches. Therefore, the choice of appropriately parameterised lamps with low UGR becomes a matter of priority, both in the context of employees who are in artificially lit spaces for many hours during the day or night, and for customers.

LED technology: energy saving and efficiency

Fortunately, strict legal requirements oblige owners of retail premises to upgrade from traditional to led lighting. This is because the lighting must meet a number of conditions which guarantee the comfort of work and shopping, while at the same time being energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. Large-area shops supplying primary products should provide lighting with an intensity of 500-1000 lux. For shops with high-quality products, this is already 300 - 500 lux. Lamps should also be as long-lasting as possible so that they do not need to be replaced frequently and, as a result, generate electro-waste.

The Linea line from Lena Lighting provides excellent lighting quality with minimal electricity consumption. It is therefore a solution that fits in with the tenets of sustainability. The lamps combine minimalist aesthetics with great functionality and are offered in versions with more than a dozen light distributions, providing the flexibility to choose the right light distribution for each location.
