A showroom floor is a photo studio the customer walks through. The light has to render metallic paint the colour it actually is, throw no hot spots into the glass, and never flicker on camera.
Most showrooms are still lit by a mix of metal halide, fluorescent troffers and whatever the last renovation left behind. Colour temperature drifts between fixtures, the paint on a dark car reads flat and the reflections in the windshield are a row of bright rectangles. Buyers notice without knowing what they noticed.
The HB Series high colour rendering option puts a uniform 4000K wash over the floor at a CRI of 90 or better, so a deep red or a metallic grey reads the way it does outside. 0-10V dimming lets the floor sit low after hours and come up for a reveal. Sensor-ready drivers cut the running cost of a space that is lit fourteen hours a day.
Feature vehicles and display pads 100 fc plus. IES recommended practice, confirm with a layout.
Most showroom changeovers run overnight or bay by bay. A layout tells us the fixture count first, so the installer knows the night before how many go up.
Yes. Every HB and LB carries a 0-10V driver, so a wall dimmer, timer or occupancy sensor brings the floor down after close.
