Showrooms are multifunctional facilities used for customer reception, retail display and business-closing transactions. Discrete tasks performed in each
area require custom lighting solutions that create separation of space and illuminance geared toward the primary function in the area. Some tasks lend
themselves to general ambient lighting with uniform illuminance while others require dramatic light levels with high contrast ratios that accentuate
displays and vehicles. A flexible lighting system will allow the lighting effect to stay current as your display changes. Good lighting builds traffic,
attracts customers and sells merchandise. Whether providing a general overall illuminance or highlighting primary display areas - Cooper Lighting’s
interior luminaires will produce a warm, inviting showroom atmosphere that draws the customer in and drives vehicles out the door.
Ambient Lighting: General uniform light level within the overall space.
Task Lighting: Lighting directed to a specific surface or area to provide illumination for a visual task.
Accent Lighting: Directional lighting to create visual interest and emphasize key objects or areas. Luminance levels on the key objects up to 10 times
the ambient level to create an eye-catching display.
Energy consumed by lighting equipment accounts for as much as 40% of
a typical utility bill, making it an excellent source for operational cost
savings. Energy efficient building design practices outlined in the
ASHRAE 90.1-2004 standard recommend a maximum power density of
0.9 W/ft
2 for automotive showroom lighting designs. Cooper Lighting
offers a variety of lighting products with efficient fluorescent and
ceramic metal halide [CMH] sources to achieve the desired lighting
effect with minimal impact to your bottom line.
Automobile manufactures offer customers many exciting paint and
upholstery options from which to choose, but poor color rendering
sources give finishes a dull appearance. The combination of light source
color temperature and color rendering index [CRI] play a key role in
achieving richly saturated colors representative of their true daylight
appearance. Sources with CRI values above 80 should be selected to
ensure accurate color evaluation.
