How to choose the right lighting for your display

Before you can choose the right lighting for your display, there are some important things to consider. Things like the size of the area, how close the light will be to the display, how many lights you will need to use, what you will be displaying, and the background or surrounding area of the display.

What size is the display?

An important factor that you’ll need to take into account when planning out your display lighting is the size of the display. You will need more lights for a larger area, and you might want to go with a brighter option than you would for smaller displays. background or surrounding area of the display.

How close will the lights be to the display?

The amount, brightness, and even temperature of the display lights may vary depending on how close the lights will be from the item(s) on display. Depending on where the light will be positioned in regards to the display, an angled light might be a good option.

How many lights should you use?

Another important thing to consider is the number of lights you’ll be using. Too many or too few lights can take what could be an amazing display to something lackluster.

What are you displaying?

You’ll want to approach display lighting for jewelry differently than you would for artifacts in a museum or clothing in a store. This means that depending on what you’re displaying, you’ll need to consider different brightness levels and colors or tones of light.

Be sure to keep in mind the background and surrounding areas of the display. Glass and mirrors will reflect light differently than solid white backgrounds will. A smaller store will have busier surrounding areas for a sales rack than a school trophy case.

Picking the right temperature and brightness for your display

Depending on what you’re displaying, you’ll need to consider the color temperature of the lighting you choose. To do that, you’ll need to know about kelvins and lumens.

Kelvin is the measurement used to measure the temperature of LED lighting. The lower the kelvin, the warmer the light will be. A light measuring around 4,000 kelvin is considered to be the most neutral tone.

While neutral light works well with most displays, if you’re displaying items with a variety of colors, you might want to select a warm light as it helps to highlight colors. However, if you’re displaying jewels and diamonds, a cool light will make them sparkle.

Lumen is the measurement used to measure the brightness of LED lighting. Most LEDs come in 220 lumens, which is equivalent to 25 watts. If angled directly on what you’re displaying, or when added together, 220 lumen LED bulbs will provide the right amount of light for your display.

Also, consider the mood you are going for with the display. That will help you determine the brightness, temperature, color, and tone your display needs.

Why should you choose LED display lighting?

With all of the display lighting options, why should you choose LEDs? There are so many reasons to use LED lights, such as they are energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, long term cost-effective, produce little heat, are dimmable, come in a variety of colors, temperatures, and tones. Other benefits of using LEDs are that they are customizable, flexible, and durable.

LEDs are super easy to customize. They come in a variety of colors, temperatures, tones, brightnesses, sizes, and styles, making it super easy to create the perfect display case lighting solutions. They are flexible, can be cut to any length, connected to cover bigger spaces, and curved. LEDs are also durable. They last for 35,000+ hours and can be weatherproofed to protect them from water and dust.
