Lighting for spaces open to the public

Retail, hotels, transport and healthcare. Lighting solutions designed around your project.

Light that supports every space

In a retail space, light is first encountered through the window, then guides attention between products, materials and areas for advice.

From the shop window to every stage of the customer journey

The window should attract attention without separating the entrance from the rest of the space. Inside, light links displays, materials and advice areas to organise discovery and support the journey.

Lighting solutions that fit your space

The choice of lighting system depends on the architecture, intended uses and the project’s integration constraints.

Linear systems

Continuous or rhythmically placed light to follow a grid, ceiling or route through the space.

Recessed · Surface · Suspended

Tracks and spotlights

Spotlights to position and aim for displays, counters or points of interest.

Tracks · Track spotlights

Profiles and LED strips

Profiles and LED strips integrated into furniture, architectural details or finishing lines.

Welcoming, guiding, slowing down

A hotel links thresholds, circulation routes and places to stay. Light supports that transition by connecting the welcome area to calmer shared atmospheres.

From arrival to shared spaces

The reception should provide a clear reference on arrival. Corridors and lounges continue that gesture with different levels of attention, connecting orientation, pause and shared uses.

What to consider before choosing.

These prompts help frame the right questions. A solution’s actual suitability depends on the context, plans and project specification.

Glare and comfort

Consider viewing angles, reflective surfaces and waiting or working situations to support a comfortable environment.

Colour rendering

Relate the lighting choice to materials, displayed products and the way each space is expected to be perceived.

Colour temperature

Define an atmosphere that fits the uses and neighbouring spaces without isolating each area from the wider route.

Integration and maintenance

Consider installation, access, replacement and operating conditions from the first stages of the study.

Making movement legible

Airport, metro or station: transport spaces need to be understood quickly. Light structures waiting areas, platforms and routes within an operating environment.

From waiting to circulation

Waiting areas need calm references before movement resumes. Platforms, access points and corridors then require continuous reading, adapted to passenger flows and operating constraints.

Clear orientation, a calmer wait

In a healthcare setting, public spaces need clear references and a measured atmosphere. Lighting supports waiting, arrival and circulation outside treatment areas.

From arrival to waiting

Reception and waiting areas need simple references within a shared environment. Circulation routes extend that everyday comfort, while clinical spaces remain subject to their own project specification.

The project’s first questions.

What documents should we prepare for a first discussion?

A plan, useful sections or heights, uses by area, proposed materials and the schedule provide a practical basis for framing the discussion.

What changes between a new-build project and a refurbishment?

For a new build, start with the plans and project specification. For a refurbishment, also review the existing conditions, available heights, power supplies and maintenance conditions. These points help clarify the options alongside the plans.

How should general and accent lighting be combined?

General lighting establishes an overall reading; accents draw attention to an area or object. Their balance depends on uses, volumes and materials.

When should we choose a linear solution over track lighting?

Linear lighting follows a grid or route; track lighting organises adjustable accents. The choice depends on architecture, flexibility and maintenance.

Do hospitals and transport projects have specific requirements?

Yes. Operations, maintenance, safety and specification constraints must be reviewed with the project; clinical spaces require a dedicated project specification.
