Many salespeople can sympathize with long days spent at the jewelry counter, nearly overheating under the banks of traditional display lighting meant to show off the diamonds, gemstones and other merchandise. Traditional lighting is hot, uses a fair amount of electricity and still comes out looking yellow and flat—not the most flattering to your diamonds (or customers!)
The use of LED lighting in retail displays, museum collections and art galleries is a growing trend, especially in European retail, gallery and museum settings. More than a fad, it’s a smart business decisions for several reasons:
Energy Savings
LED lighting uses just 3% of the electricity of traditional halogen lights. Just 3%! Imagine how that reduction in electricity use could lower your store’s utility bill each month. And because LED illumination gives off almost no heat, you’ll save again on air conditioning costs to keep your store—and your customers—cool.
Excellent Light Quality
Our LED lighting solutions offer natural daylight-quality white light that recreates the effect of sunlight. If you’ve ever watched a diamond ring sparkle in the sun, you know that for showing off the detail and beauty of diamonds and gems, nothing compares to the clean white light of high-quality LED illumination. But the key here is high-quality; read more to learn about why it’s important to make sure you’re getting quality manufacturing LED lights and true white light.
Generates Less Heat
Unlike traditional lighting, LED illumination operates at a low temperature and generates virtually no heat. They’re comfortable to work under, help reduce cooling costs, and don’t produce heat that can prematurely age jewelry.
Ecologically Responsible
The extra-long life of LED bulbs makes them an earth-friendly lighting choice for retail displays. With over 30,000 to 40,000 hours of continuous operation, you can focus on increasing sales rather than changing your light bulbs—which brings us to the last and perhaps most important point…
