Showroom

0.50 hexagon per m² at the base, 0.70 above display areas and in the shop window. A showroom entirely lit at the same level flattens everything: nothing stands out anymore.

Because what highlights is not the amount of light, it's the relationship between the product and its background. An object lit two to three times brighter than its surroundings attracts the eye, even at a moderate level. Before adding panels above a product, ask yourself if it wouldn't be better to remove them elsewhere.

Stand where customers look at the product — usually the entrance — and note what you see in the bodywork. Shift the frame accordingly. This check should be done before drilling, not after.

Neutral white for products: this is what restores their true hue. Color is used as a complement, on a background or outline, to create an atmosphere—never to illuminate the product itself.

CE marking on the product, the declaration of conformity, the complete technical data sheet (luminaire flux, power, color temperature, CRI), and the warranty period with what it covers exactly.

No, never. Emergency lighting is separate equipment, independent of normal lighting, with its own verification requirements. The regulations depend on the type of establishment.

LEDs don't burn out, they gradually lose intensity; it's the power supply that fails first. The real risk is not being able to find the same model again: buy one more panel than you need and keep it.

Yes, on a modular frame each panel can be removed individually. Check when purchasing that the panels can be removed without breaking the adjacent connector.
