Out and About
As part of a wide-ranging programme to reduce its carbon footprint, homeware specialist The White Company has upgraded its lighting system with LED light sources from Reggiani.
The White Company is known for its distinctive style of merchandise, and in order to maintain a conscience as clean as its brilliant white brand image the team decided to upgrade its lighting to a more energy efficient solution. With its very distinctive style of merchandise, The White Company has specific requirements for instore lighting, in particular the need to create a warm and homely feel with no glare, and a strong contrast between ambient and display lighting, so selecting the right fixtures for the project was essential. Reggiani has a wide choice of reflectors available through its Interchangeable Optics System (IOS). These enable precise alignment of light distribution to the configuration of merchandise in each space. This was one of the key reasons why Reggiani were specified on this occasion. Reggiani’s Bisio adjustable recessed luminaire takes centre stage in The White Company’s retail design. Bisio fixtures feature a gimbal arrangement to allow the light to be pinpointed, complementing the use of the IOS optics. Use of the IOS also enables The White Company to easily change light distributions and scenes by making adjustments to the optics. In shop windows, Varios and Envios track lighting has been used, with different light outputs to suit the size and layout of the window.

The White Company wanted lighting that would be able to show the merchandise at its best in familiar home settings, such as in wardrobes and other storage areas. This requirement was met with Reggiani
TTilein recessed fittings, which were installed in the tops of the wardrobes to illuminate the merchandise beneath. The introduction of this new LED lighting system has enabled The White Company to reduce its installed electrical load by around 50% in each store,and therefore has significantly reduced its carbon footprint. Further energy savings are achieved in the store by the lower heat output of the LED light sources, so that air conditioning loads are also reduced. The installation will also reduce maintenance costs given the longer life of LED light sources, meaning the project is as positive for finances as it is for the environment!
