Spar

SPAR is an international supermarket chain operating in the food retail sector. Its stores combine a wide range of everyday grocery products with a strong focus on fresh categories and convenient shopping.

In this type of retail environment, lighting is responsible for much more than visibility. It helps guide customer attention, supports the perception of product quality and highlights key areas such as meat, bakery, fruit and vegetables.

Information about the project

AVA TECH developed and supplied a lighting solution for SPAR supermarkets with a focus on functional store zones and the visual quality of fresh food displays. The system was built around track lighting and Plano, Mio and Chill luminaires, making it possible to create a flexible lighting structure for the sales area.

Particular attention was paid to the use of dedicated light spectra for different product groups, including meat displays, bakery sections, fruit and vegetables. The aim was to create lighting that not only illuminates the space, but also makes fresh products look natural, appealing and easy for customers to notice.

Tasks

Develop a lighting concept for SPAR supermarkets based on the functional layout of the sales area.
Provide comfortable, uniform lighting across the store while creating precise accents in key food categories.
Select dedicated light colours for meat, bakery products, fruit and vegetables to enhance freshness, colour and texture.
Create a flexible and energy-efficient lighting system using track systems and LED luminaires.

Completed work

A track-based lighting project was developed in line with the store layout.
The positioning of luminaires was planned according to sales zones and product display areas.
Illuminance calculations were carried out for the retail space.
Energy-efficient Plano, Mio and Chill LED luminaires were supplied.
Dedicated light spectra were used for fresh food zones, including meat displays, bakery areas, fruit and vegetables.
