Big Box Retail

Induction lighting is uniquely suited for big box retail facilities.
These large stores are a demanding environment for lighting. In the highly competitive retail market, lighting must be bright, with excellent acuity. Aisle ways must be void of shadows and bright spots. Labeling must be easy to read, and most of all, merchandise must be accurately rendered.

Induction is the perfect lighting technology for retail applications.

With a CRI >85, induction delivers bright vibrant colors with unwavering color rendition. The consistent, even glow of the 5,000 Kelvin induction lamps delivers a robust non-directional footprint. Induction eliminates the harsh glare common in point-source lighting technologies without the flicker of fluorescent.

Retail studies demonstrate shoppers linger for longer periods of time under soft, robust illumination versus the harsh glare of HID lamps.

In an environment where burnouts cannot be tolerated, 100,000 hour induction lamps provide 20 year service. Leading retailers routinely change out all of their lamps annually then pay service teams to change burnouts on a monthly basis. With induction, zero maintenance is simply an added savings to 50-75% energy usage reductions.

With costs rising in every aspect of retail marketing, and profit margins shrinking, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep profits in the till. Induction lighting is a great partner for increased profits.

Historically, retailer’s margins are thin at best. And the potential profits are always at risk due to the general economy and the whims of consumers. The best way to assure a healthy profit margin is cost control, or ideally, cost reduction.

A typical “big box“ store might have 650 to 700 hundred 400 watt metal halide fixtures. With typical usage, switching to magnetic induction can save about $90,000 a year! Dollars saved go to the bottom line, “100% profit” or pre-tax operational dollars to invest back in the company.

But the cash incentives do not end here, most states and utilities offer cash incentives for energy efficient lighting, and the Federal government offers a .60 cent per square foot tax deduction.

Ask your AGT representative about a “no cash upfront” lease option and begin saving dollars today.

Induction is once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn “fixed costs” into a new profit center.
