Boutique accent lighting: Merchandise three times brighter than aisles

The interior of a high-end fashion boutique, with an extremely uneven and deliberately designed brightness distribution: merchandise displayed on walls and central islands is precisely illuminated by narrow-beam spotlights, with a brightness three times or more than that of the aisles. The textures of fabrics, stitching on leather goods, and luster of metal accessories are all clearly visible. The aisles and pathways where customers walk are kept at a low brightness, with dark floors and dark ceilings. As a result, the gaze is completely drawn to the merchandise; people move along dark paths and stop at bright spots. The ceiling is dark, and the light fixtures are black, deep-recessed anti-glare types, almost invisible. The light has extremely high color rendering, and colors are accurately reproduced. Avoid: illuminating aisles as brightly as merchandise, using large areas of uniform ceiling lighting, making ceilings and light fixtures too conspicuous, using low color rendering light sources.

一間精品服飾店的室內,亮度分佈極不平均且刻意如此:陳列在牆面與中島上的商品被窄角投射燈精準照亮,亮度是走道的三倍以上,布料的織紋、皮件的縫線、金屬配件的光澤全部清楚;而顧客行走的走道與通道則維持在低亮度,地面暗、天花暗。因此視線完全被商品吸走,人在暗的路徑中移動、在亮的點前停下。天花是深色的,燈具是黑色的深筒防眩型,幾乎看不見。光的演色性極高,顏色還原準確。避免:把走道照得跟商品一樣亮、使用大面積的均勻天花照明、讓天花與燈具過於顯眼、使用低演色性的光源。
