Lighting is one of the most important decisions when designing a shopping centre.
LED lighting provides an efficient choice where lighting needs to be utilised for at least 10 hours per day and maintenance costs need to be minimised.
As well as considering the overall energy cost of the luminaires chosen, an efficient range with the minimum number of different styles should be chosen to reduce maintenance costs and complexity.
The mall illumination should provide a natural, comfortable atmosphere which improves the shopper’s experience and doesn’t detract from the stores.

LL-A-24-25-B – a low powered blue LED light line used in Dion Wired.
Lighting for store signage should be uniform in intensity and colour so as to not detract from the store’s branding. Signage is typically on 24 hours per day so a high quality LED solution results in a very quick break-even period.
Billabong, V&A Waterfront, Cape Town
Areas such as car parks and storage facilities, which are typically illuminated 24 hours per day, need efficient lighting which considers customer safety and adds to the overall architecture of the centre. Additional features such as occupancy and daylight sensing as well as emergency lighting have to be considered. Fittings in these areas should also be designed for ease of maintenance and cleaning.

Cove lighting is important to the overall aesthetic of a shopping centre. Poor quality cove lighting can easily detract from the perceived quality of the stores. It should be seamless and provide excellent uniformity in brightness and colour along the length of the cove.
