Lighting in a restaurant can set or ruin a mood for events taking place there. Restaurants are where families come together, first dates happen or birthday parties commence. If the lighting is wrong, a customer may never come back. In fact, by lighting alone, customers can tell the difference between a fast-food establishment and a nice restaurant.

Incandescent lighting isn’t just ‘lighting’, it’s part of the American culture. It’s the Norman Rockwell of the lighting industry. Nothing portrays American values and ideals more than the warm, yellow glow filtering through the windows of America onto streets alive with people celebrating the joy of being. That’s hard to replace. Unless you’ve taken a close look at the alternatives.
Incandescent lighting started appearing in homes and commercial establishments in the late 1800s. There were many improvements over the years, but energy consumption was already an issue. So the early 1900s saw a ..read more

There is, however, something you can do about it: energy management systems, which can keep more of your money in your pocket instead of letting it go down the drain.
What controls can you implement with these systems? The degree of fine-tuning an energy management system is capable of might be surprising.

Cocoa, a Brevard County city in Florida with a population of less than 20,000, has a problem. Once host to the Houston Astros during spring training and to the thousands of visitors who came to witness launches at nearby Cape Canaveral, Cocoa now has the highest crime and arrest rates, the least number of college-educated people and the highest percentage of people living in poverty in the county. But the city has a guardian angel who’s trying to change all that, and shopping center lighting is part of his plan.
What’s the Shopping Center Plan in Cocoa?

You may have heard of vanity sizing. It’s the practice of changing the size of an article of clothing – a woman’s dress, for example – without changing the actual measurements of the dress itself. The same dress that was size 12 last year is now labeled as a size 6. The shopper is thrilled that she can now fit into a size 6, and is inspired to buy the dress. You’ve made the customer feel good.
The same is true for store lighting. Lighting has to make the merchandise look good, but it also has to do the same for the customer.
When a woman goes into a dressing room, she wants to look good in wha ..read more
