2. The Psychology of Light: Setting the Mood for Shopping Bright Lights Warm Lights Cool Lights Energetic, fast-paced - encourages quick decisions and impulse buys. Think produce sections and promotional displays. Example: Aisle endcaps with brightly lit sale items.

High CRI lighting makes food look more appealing and fresh. Supermarkets use high CRI to enhance the visual appeal of produce, meat, and baked goods. 1 2 Examples: 3 • Red meat under lights that enhance the red tones, making it look fresher.

Example: Spotlights on high-margin items like gourmet cheeses or specialty chocolates. Provides overall illumination for navigation and comfort.

Task Lighting Focuses light on specific areas like checkout counters for efficiency and accuracy. Example: Bright, focused lighting at the checkout to help cashiers scan items quickly.
