Applications > Retail lightingFibre optics are undoubtedly a retail lighting medium of the future as brighter and more efficient light drivers are created that accommodate larger bundles of fibre, and downlights and light emitters are designed that match the output of conventional lighting such as fluorescent, tungsten halogen ,metal halide, neon and the many similar products and derivatives from these. Eye-catching displays and signage can be created using fibre optics where other products can often only be described as mediocre. In general lighting of the conventional types fibre optics are able to add style, colour wash, ambience and even drama that ensures that customers feel good in the space. A departure from conventional methods in selected situations, or the creation of a retail environment that is unique and memorable for shoppers, enables fibre optics to make their introduction in a very tangible way. Retailers , particularly of boutique-type products such as cosmetics, jewellery ,liquor and confectionery, but also other merchandise, would be well advised to ask their designer to make a full and objective evaluation of fibre optics in their lighting design. This may involve a partial or complete departure from convention but the outcome will be distinctive if not unique. With air conditioning and lighting now major cost factors in operating retail premises, particularly the heat extraction and heat exposure issues that accompany these, fibre optics are now being seriously considered in conjunction with changes to design and merchandise presentation so that any new look and quantum change in running costs are combined to make a real and lasting difference for both the retailer and customer. Shopping precincts of every type, mainstreet, mall or arcade can benefit from fibre optics in their many forms. Inside and outside shops, overhead in atriums and wall structures, outside in canopies and facades, underfoot as pavers, up-lights and decorative features, and in rest and traffic areas as markers, garden and seating features and bollards….they are all viable and economical applications for fibre optics.
