The Brief
Bathroom furniture and fixtures are the definition of luxury in any bathroom and, as such, it occupies an area of retail where people often make expensive, life enhancing decisions.

To increase sales and profitability, luminaires were selected to enhance the craftsmanship and quality of the products on display, whilst creating a comfortable and elegant showroom environment.
Many of the products on display are handcrafted by experts to the highest technical standards, using only the finest materials.
These materials are highly reflective and require specific lighting conditions to allow the displayed pieces to shine in their full glory.
Careful consideration of light intensity, suitable colour temperatures and effective use of angled lighting (to control unwanted shadows and glare), was needed to bring about the brilliance and scintillating effect of the products and highlighting every possible detail of the intricate craftsmanship.
The Solution
AR111 Twin Lightbox
The AR111 Twin Lightbox allows us to offer recessed, adjustable luminaires individually or clustered, with each light source capable of pivoting and rotating allowing the client to highlight displays effectively and consistently.

With steel housing and high quality die cast aluminium heads, this range combines a pleasing aesthetic with a sturdy construction. Available in single, twin, triple and quad head configurations with a wide range of lumen outputs and colour temperatures, the AR111 light boxes are the fitting of choice for retail and showrooms nationwide.
For this install, a number of 40° twin AR111 light boxes were used for the general lighting throughout the showroom, ensuring each point of sale area was brightly illuminated from different angles to avoid shadows being cast upon products.
As brightness and maximum visibility were key criteria for the project, a high 3000lm version, in a “cool white” 6000k colour temperature, was utilised for the entire shop floor. This also allowed for a smooth transition between the high levels of natural daylight entering from the front of the store, to the artificial lighting at the rear.

The Samsung LED Track Light is designed to give the client maximum flexibility to light their displays and points of sale in the most effective way. Manufactured from die-cast aluminium, the head of the luminaire is characterised by a classic tubular design.
With the aid of high performance aluminium faceted reflectors and the latest Samsung COB (Chips on Board) LED source, the install is customisable using a wide range optional outputs up to 5000 lumens in multiple different beam angles with different colour temperatures and CRI (colour rendering index) of up to 90+.
Why LED?
Any professional in the retail industry will testify to the importance of lighting in giving their store or showroom a competitive edge.
