Retail Spaces

Lighting is a fundamental factor in visual merchandising and lighting can help set a store apart from the competition. Specialty boutiques are often associated with personal one on one service, and with brand names. The associated lighting scheme for these retailers is usually high end and flexible.

Department stores have distinctive shopping areas within a store concept. The image projected can be moderate to upscale.
