LED Shopping Mall Lighting

Best Types of LED Shopping Mall Lighting Fixtures to Use

There are so many different types of lighting used in malls, as a mall has both indoor lighting and outdoor lighting. Which makes it difficult to say one light is the best. We work with our commercial customers to understand the lighting they have and then recommend lights that would work best for them.

Ideal Lighting Levels for a Shopping Mall

There is such a wide range of light levels – and it depends on the mall. We’ve seen guidelines that suggest everything from 5-foot candles to 100-foot candles. And then there’s breaking down the different areas within a mall – each could be different.

Considerations When Designing a Lighting Layout for a Mall

You want to create a bright inviting space for customers. Without them noticing the lights. You may decide to choose between direct and indirect lighting. Or includes domes on high bays to address glare.

Deciding on How Many Lights for a Mall when You Have a Lot of Natural Light

There are two ways to approach this. First, design the lighting so that it satisfies the light levels when the mall is open after sunset. Then consider dimming the lights to take advantage of natural daylight.  We’d be happy to create a free lighting plan for the spaces you want to light up. This will determine the number of lights required to meet the lighting levels you desire.

Types of LED Lighting Used in Mall Stores

It varies. It can be high bays, panels, or recessed-mounted metal halide lights.  These are replaceable with metal halide conversion kits. For outdoor lighting, you usually find parking lot fixtures and wall packs.

Types of LED Shopping Mall Lighting Should You Use Outdoors

Shoeboxes, or parking lot lights, are good for general parking. Soft lighting above the doors. And wall packs around the building will provide high-quality outdoor lighting.

Retrofit Metal Halide Recessed Can Lights with LED

We can retrofit incandescent, CFL, halogen, and metal halide recessed can lights. Our most powerful option can replace 400 Watts metal halide.

Replacing Metal Halide Outdoor Lights in a Shopping Mall with LED Lights

We have many options that can replace or retrofit 400 Watt and 1000 Watt metal halide bulbs. These lights will provide as much if not more light than what you currently have.

Color Options for Outdoor Lighting Fixtures

Most of our outdoor parking lot fixtures are bronze or white, which are by far the most common colors. Indoors, we also offer white and black high bays.

High Ceiling LED Light Options for Shopping Malls

This is where we introduce optics to our lighting. A standard beam angle of 120 degrees is not going to work as well as a 60 or 90-degree beam angle. The light needs to focus down.

Best Color Temperature for LED Shopping Mall Lighting

In general public areas, 3000K to 4000K is a good option. In mechanical areas and outdoors, 4000K to 5000K is a good option.

LED Vandal Proof Fixtures

Not all our fixtures are vandal proof but yes, we do offer vandal-proof options.

Installing LED Lights in a Shopping Mall

No, but we work with electrical contractors that do.
