Frequently Asked Questions

What CRI is recommended for retail store lighting?

CRI>90 is recommended for retail environments where product color matters — apparel, food, cosmetics, jewelry, and home goods. CRI>80 is acceptable for general merchandise. High-CRI LED fixtures make colors appear more vivid and accurate, which improves the customer's perception of product quality.

Can you replace fluorescent lighting in a retail store without closing?

Yes. We work section by section and can schedule installation during low-traffic hours, overnight, or on days when the store is closed. We use drop cloths to protect merchandise and floor displays, and we remove all old fixtures and packaging materials before we leave.

What is the best LED lighting for grocery stores?

Grocery stores require CRI>90 throughout, with 4000K–5000K in produce and deli areas to make fresh food look its best. LED strip lights in reach-in cooler cases should be rated for low-temperature operation. We spec and install complete grocery LED lighting packages including cooler case lights.

Do retail LED upgrades qualify for utility rebates in New Jersey?

Yes. Retail properties in NJ are eligible for utility rebate programs through PSE&G, JCP&L, and other utilities. We calculate your expected rebates as part of the free site evaluation and manage the entire application process on your behalf.
