LIGHTING
Lighting for a mall
• Shopping mall lighting is considered one of the most mature and rapid increase areas of LED
applications.
• The shopping mall is not only a place to buy goods, but also to create an environment suitable for
people relax. The lighting effect is so important there, and the LED lighting has good performance
to achieve above .
• However, whether the LED can be more important in the lighting market it needs to be based on
the specific lighting environment and the humanized needs of consumers, and refine the various
performance parameters and lighting effects of each product.
• Shopping mall lighting design should focus on the behavior of customers to purchase goods,
according to the customer’s visual requirements and the characteristics of various products, the
space in which each product is located, scientific design, and to make customers feel comfortable
Visual effects.
• At the same time, reasonable illumination (we also call it brightness), good color reproduction,
suitable brightness distribution, and comfortable visual environment; through reasonable lighting
design, customers can attract attention to the goods and stimulate customers’ desire to buy.
• Let’s explain the detail of the lighting needs and design points in different areas of the mall.
First, illuminance, color temperature can affect
people’s psychological feelings
• Lighting not only has the function of illuminating, but also affects people’s psychology: the higher
the color temperature, the more refreshing the feeling will be, and the lower the temperature,
the warmer you feel. For example, when you see red or yellow, you will think of apples and
oranges. Red, yellow, sour and sweet, and enhance appetite; but black green, blue-green make
you feel bitter, will reduce appetite.
• The effects of different illumination and color temperature on people’s psychological reactions
are very different.
• The purpose of store lighting is to attract consumers’ interest through “commodity visualization”
by providing appropriate lighting and illumination, color temperature, color rendering and
brightness changes for different areas , and to communicate with customers through silent
language.
• In order to properly display the products in front of the customer, it is very important to properly
use the corresponding light to attract the customer’s attention and trigger the customer’s desire
to purchase.
• The light in the store space can be considered from the two directions of “environment light”
which is an overall impression of the space and “light of goods” which effectively display the
effect of the product.
Second, the areas of the mall require the
different lighting
• Different types of shopping malls and different area of shopping malls have
different requirements for lighting effects, so the key of their
lighting design is also different.
• Now, is it the right opportunity for LEDs to enter the base lighting of the
market as a new generation of light sources?Most of the experts believe
that commercial lighting is the first general lighting application area
for LEDs.
• Improving luminous flux, reliability and cost performance is the key to its
rapid intervention. The lighting of the mall can be further refined
according to different occasions, and the requirements for lighting of
different commodities are also different.
Lighting in parking area/Basement
• The basement parking area was lit with half hanging 36 watts tube
lights all over.
• Where as the other levels also had light but it was lit during the
day time.

The upper Lights in the
Levels. Basement.
THE ATRIUM
• The has a bright diffused day light which is enough for the whole atrium space
• During night it has led down lights focusing the atrium.
• The small atrium does not diffuse much life the corridors had artificial lights
turned on even during the day.

Lighting in clothing areas
• The high color rendering LED spotlights and LED downlights can
effectively solve these problems.

LED spot lights Ceiling recessed lights
 Corridor lighting
• Corridors had warm white 22 watts light
• The lights in the corridors adjacent to the atrium area were used only in the evening as the corridors had
enough lighting coming through the atrium some had small lights turned on.
• The corridors surrounding the smaller atrium doesn’t have enough day light
• The artificial lights were lit during the day time also.

Palazzo lighting
• Palazzo's had small {15watts} warm
white ceiling recessed lights as they
match the finishes of the surrounding
and also chandliers for aesthetics.
• The lighting was not too bright and not
too dull.
• Source of day light is the small atrium.
Other lighting
Surrounding the atrium it had
wall fixed box lights along the
corridor
• Food court in the place had fancy hanging lights with enough lighting
and with a illuminance of 150lux which creates a good ambience for
the users.
All other shops had their own false ceiling
patterns and fancy lights inside.
