Retail and Hospitality Lighting Design

For retail and hospitality venues, the stakes are different. You are not just lighting a floor; you are setting a stage.

Retail: High-CRI and Precision

In showrooms, lighting needs to do heavy lifting. We specify fixtures with a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of over 90, which ensures that the colors your customers see are true to life. We use complex joinery integration to hide light sources in shelves and cabinets, ensuring the product remains the hero. By carefully planning beam angles, we direct footfall and highlight specific merchandise, creating a shopping experience that feels curated rather than generic.

Hospitality: Atmosphere and Architecture

For hotels, bars, and restaurants, the goal is often mood-making. We use a layered lighting approach—combining ambient, decorative, and accent lights—to transition a space from day to night. For exterior facade work, like our project at the Museum Inn, we move beyond basic floodlighting. We use framing projectors and wall-wash techniques to highlight architectural details, ensuring the building looks as inviting after dark as it does during the day. We also integrate DALI and DMX control systems, allowing you to automate lighting scenes so the ambiance shifts automatically with your business hours.

Our Process

We do not just hand over a plan and leave. We provide:

• Dialux Simulations: To ensure your space meets the required Lux levels before a single fixture is installed.
• Vendor-Neutral BOQs: We give you the technical specs so you can source fixtures cost-effectively without being locked into specific brands.
• Site Supervision: We handle focusing sessions, manually aiming and adjusting track heads to ensure the final result matches the initial design vision.
