Hera's HO-LEDs illuminating the largest ferris wheel in the world!

At a height of 165m, Singapore Flyer is the world’s largest Giant Observation Wheel and is set to be one of Asia’s biggest tourist attractions.
Singapore Flyer was conceived and designed by Dr. Kisho Kurokawa and DP Architects, Singapore. It held its groundbreaking ceremony in September 2005 and was launched in 2008. It promises more than just a view, but a panorama that captures Marina Bay’s skyline with a glimpse of neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia.

You wouldn't get dressed in the dark, so why consider having products on the shelf in the dark?

A recent analysis of retail environments at Perimeter Mall in Atlanta supports the perspective that  retailers should be reconsidering lighting plans. The findings indicate that less ceiling lighting may be the  proper course. Twenty different venues were visited. What was discovered was that on average, retailers  have twice as many foot-candles on the floor as they do highlighting the product on the third  shelf . Here is a perfect example of why bringing lighting closer to the merchandise is so effective - Not to mention the energy regulations of 1. 5 W per sq. ft in the ceiling.

For those of you that may have missed it, I want to hit on a few key points that are of solid relevance in retail lighting design and energy costs. When it comes to the physical and visual perception perception of our environments, we can all agree that lighting plays a major role. This being said, we are at an exciting crossroad in the lighting industry. Strong forces in the world have led us to a tipping point in retail illumination. The cost of energy, new regulations, velocity in the green movement, the evolution of LED technology and the need to increase sales per customer have combined to motivate retailers to consider how new alternatives might have a positive affect on both their top and bottom lines. Hence, we are witnessing an emerging and significant trend (maybe even a quantum leap) in retail lighting. The ...

Just came across this quote in LD&A from Anne Kustner Haser I wanted to share...

" Lighting is a silent sales assocaite, selling products without ever needing a lunchbreak. Since the eye is drawn to the brightest objects in the field of view, light, color, sparkle and contrast pique the interest of potential shoppers and draw them into a store they may have had no intention of visiting. Once inside, effective lighting directs the shopper through the store to view featured merchandise and, hopefully, helps inspire enough interest to close the sale."
