LED lighting for shopping malls

Most people don't think about it, but the lighting in a shopping center has a big impact on the overall experience. Haven't we all been in a store where the lighting has been too dim or too bright? And if so, hasn't this affected what you bought? In this week's blog post, we take a closer look at how to create the perfect mall environment using LED lighting.

Upgrading from traditional lighting to LED lighting can seem like a daunting and costly project. That's why many shopping centers rely on traditional fluorescent tubes, which are a big drain on electricity bills. But does it really need to be expensive and cumbersome, and what are the benefits of LED in a mall? Read on to find out!

Reduced consumption

First and foremost, you should see LED lighting as an investment. And it doesn't have to be that long-term. Most luminaires are retrofit, which means you can simply replace the fluorescent tube with an LED tube. This makes replacement both simple and inexpensive. It also means that the payback time is 1-2 years in most cases, so the money is quickly recouped. With LED lighting, you save up to 70% on your electricity bill compared to conventional lighting, as LEDs are far more energy efficient than fluorescent tubes, for example.

Create the right atmosphere

In addition to reducing costs, LED lighting can help create a cozy atmosphere in the mall. The LED light can be controlled in terms of brightness or color temperature, and the light can even follow the rhythm of the day, so there is a warm light in the morning and evening hours, whereas during the daytime there will be a cooler light. In addition, smart LED lighting can be used to guide customers throughout the mall. All of this can encourage customers to stay longer and, more importantly, to buy more.

Attract customers on the street

A cozy atmosphere inside is crucial to keep customers coming back, but what about outside? An increasing number of shopping centers are choosing to include LEDs as part of their facade lighting. For example, the LEDs can be used as an advertising pillar for selected stores or as a play of colors that makes the mall beautiful and attractive to look at from the outside. The possibilities are endless and the only limit is your imagination.
