A Good Selection of Commercial Fluorescent Lighting Fixtures

By Tom Sanderrs

When selecting commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures you really need to get the best price for your business. Not only because you've worked hard to get where you are today, but also because it's an ideal way to save money.

When you go to a large store to select light fixtures you've got a better chance of getting exactly what you want first time. You'll usually locate the fixtures you have in mind and also uncover some new styles. Conventional commercial fluorescent lighting fixtures are perfect for general stores but if you have a specialty store you may desire something that creates a real ambience. Larger stores carry a vast range and it's a definite advantage to go to one.

There are a number of ways that different lighting can influence your customers to buy more.

* Bright light makes a happy atmosphere: people are more inclined to buy when the store has a bright and happy atmosphere. Fluorescent lighting fixtures will create a bright light throughout the store. This in turn makes people feel physiologically happy. It is rather like going out on a bright sunny day. If you have a dark store people automatically feel a little downbeat when they enter and will not be inclined to buy as much.

*A Bright store will also attract more customers: as people are passing by, there's more chance they will be enticed to enter a bright looking store. Conversely, dark or dimly lit stores are no enticement to people as they pass by. It's human nature to be drawn to bright objects and locations.

* A store with shaded light: can bring a little mystery if the product suits. Obviously, specialty stores like a Halloween store need to create a dark and mysterious look. However, unless you're selling scary masks it's a good idea to avoid such mystery.

* Another option is tinted light: this tends to create its own atmosphere. Different colors and levels of illumination generate their own atmosphere and can be a powerful marketing aid when done correctly.

It's easiest to find the selection you need and the advice you want from a larger store or provider. A reputable store with a lot of experience in the industry will be able to offer a broad range of styles and some good advice to a company. They may even be able to advise on fitment and good suppliers for other products you may need. There will be various sections where you can actually see how the lighting might affect the look and feel of your store. A lighting display is a great place to start if you're looking for some inspiration or ideas.

As mentioned previously, levels of lighting really can affect the way a customer feels. It can also affect the way your staff feel. Consider your options carefully and make the right decision the first time to avoid costly changes later.
