Lots of good LED light, a conscious choice

Linear lighting is increasingly being used in shops. Veko’s two-metre LED linear luminaire has been mounted in the new Decathlon store in Alkmaar. In all, 800 m of light lines were assembled in just three days.

The LED light line has an integrated emergency lighting of 20 lux. That’s a lot; it is usually only 1 lux. This was a very safe and pleasant choice for such a large retail store. The Veko LED linear lighting also yields 1,200 lux. Although that is a lot of light, it was a deliberate choice, as it promotes consumer buying behaviour.

"For a long time, Decathlon had been looking for a modern LED linear lighting solution that would not blind customers when they look into it. The company emphasised this, as the light lines were to be relatively low above the product signs. In collaboration with Bestled, Veko developed a solution. One important point for Decathlon was a good distribution of the lighting, so that sufficient light would fall on the bottom of the shelf and the colour of the products would be maintained. The aftercare was amazing: just before the opening, all the finishing touches were made."
