How to illuminate a perfumery?
Not all stores need the same type of lighting, but also the same amount of light.
To give a practical example, a coffee shop cannot be lit like a pharmacy, a stationery shop cannot be lit like a perfumery shop, and so on.
In this article we will talk specifically about how to light a perfumery, including using led store lighting.
Before we understand exactly how to design light to best illuminate one’s perfumery, let’s go into more detail so that we can have a clearer understanding of the concept of lighting.
Equipment to be used and light shades
Having ascertained that each store needs a different type of lighting, there are different ways to illuminate spaces and also different shades of light.
In addition to the characteristics of each device, these devices are chosen according to one’s needs, taking into account the store in which they will be placed, but also according to the budget one is willing to spend.
Generally, in stores where there is a suspended ceiling, LED lighting can be used. For the most part, recessed spotlights are used, also of the adjustable type, and they illuminate shelves and display counters very well.
When choosing led store lighting, you also need to consider the light shade, and you can choose from:
- warm,
- neutral
- cold.
Cold LED lighting for stores is discouraged, as it can alter the coloring of the products on display and this can also mislead customers into buying, so it is important to have lighting design by a lighting professional.
Let us now see how to light a perfumery.
Lighting a perfumery
As for a perfume store, we tend to choose the warm light shade since it is the one that is closest to sunlight.
In short, it is the kind of lighting that does not alter colors at all and provides the perfect optical vision.
A perfumery, as far as the lighting concept is concerned, has as its main characteristic the need to have a very high color rendering. That is to say, it is a store in which light must not alter colors at all.
When designing lighting, in order to best illuminate the spaces of a perfumery, consider the fact that it is not necessary to point the light directly at the product.
The ideal is the installation of LED spotlights with warm light on many tracks. This way, in addition to having the light spread evenly throughout the store, in the aesthetic sphere the result will be totally perfect.
Of course, this is only one of many solutions that can be used, as these can vary not only by budget but also by personal taste.
