Leisure & Retail

The UK workforce are said to work the longest hours of any country in Europe.  As such, our leisure time becomes increasingly important to us. 

Whether unwinding over a glass of wine or a meal in a favourite restaurant, going to a gym or playing sport, lighting plays a key role in the enjoyment of our chosen activity - not just in respect of having sufficient light to complete the task involved, but also in creating the right atmosphere.

Shopping is a leisure experience and needs to be considered as such with regard to its lighting, whether it is an individual store or a large-scale centre. 

To succeed as a business enterprise, the retail outlets need to be fully occupied and the centre needs to offer a multitude of shops, coffee bars and restaurants so that families can enjoy time together. 

Lighting can provide visual clues to ease orientation.  A stimulating core area will create an atmosphere where people are content to spend time and both the centre and the outlets can benefit.
