Imoon – leading player on the International market for commercial lighting in Food & Fashion Retail – revolutionizes the North American Food Retail industry with Ambient, a pioneering plug-in system devised to install all technical elements on a single electrified track. The innovative solution is compatible with universal lighting control protocols and technologies and is UL certified, enabling the installation of multiple lighting fixtures on the same grid – linear, spot and dedicated lights – and Wi-Fi audio speakers. The new concept is a flexible and scalable solution, giving retailers the freedom to customize each and every lighting scenario. This positions Imoon as a reliable one-stop supplier along the entire value chain, from the design of the system to its testing.

“Concept Ambient has been designed to meet retailers’ need to vary the display inside the store, without having to undertake additional engineering interventions. In this sense, the solution guarantees both maximum flexibility in the positioning of lighting fixtures and a superior energy efficiency”, states Pierluigi Gusmani, International Sales Director at Imoon, who continues “Imoon complements the traditional systems of the North American market with accent lighting, in order to fully enhance the chromatic features of products in fashion and food retail, with special attention to the fresh department, such as meat, fish, fruit and vegetables, creating appealing contrasts within the sales point, in favor of high profitability”.

Retailers are showing increasing interest in the use of lighting fixtures, specifically designed to emphasize the references showcased. In detail, the narrow beam solution is more and more appreciated, since it allows to play with the light according to the needs of each display space, for a greater emotional engagement of the consumer. In this sense, Imoon has already carried out more than fifty lighting installations for the North American market, to emphasize corners and specific areas of stores, to which are added the projects carried out in collaboration with the partner Schweitzer. The latter are based on the Ambient electrified system and have been designed for the Sobeys and Foodland brands, among which the Canadian store in Orangeville and the Hawaiian one in Waikiki, respectively, stand out.

For the first retailer, Imoon has improved the lighting of supermarket aisles by applying three families of products equipped with specialized LEDs, such as Meat Fish HD, to the Ambient track: Maxi P slim linear element that combines aesthetics and efficiency, Krios and Venere Pro in projector and recessed versions to emphasize the fresh food areas, including bakery, cheese and deli. For the second retailer, innovation comes in the combination of narrow-beam spotlights with the new 3000 HD special LED, also used for general lighting, benefiting superior light quality throughout the store. The versatility of the concept, a union of energy efficiency and aesthetics, becomes a furnishing element, distinctive for each brand.
