A Brussels butcher’s shop bathed in light
The Boucherie Jean-Pierre in Brussels wanted lighting that would enhance each stall, while respecting the natural nuances of the meat and charcuterie. Rodalight was asked to design a technical solution adapted to this business, based on our expertise in lighting for butchers.
Diagnosis and personalised study
The objective was clear: to guarantee faithful colour rendition, ensure pleasant lighting for customers and facilitate the day-to-day operation of the fixtures. To achieve this, Rodalight carried out a precise diagnosis of the space:
- Analysis of sales areas and refrigerated display cabinets.
- Assessment of lighting intensity and uniformity requirements.
- Determining the optimum angles for each type of product.
- Choosing the right LED technologies for food lighting.
This methodical approach ensures that lighting supports both product quality and the visual comfort of customers.
Essential technical parameters
- Spectrum-optimised LED for faithful rendering of meat colours.
- Adjustable spotlights to highlight specific areas as they come in.
- Can be dimmed to suit opening hours.
- Even lighting to avoid shadows on stalls.
Choice of luminaires and layout
Rodalight selected powerful yet compact LED spotlights, installed on rails for maximum flexibility. The luminaires were positioned so as to provide uniform lighting throughout the shop windows and stalls, while maintaining a discreet, modern aesthetic.
Solutions implemented
- LED tracks with adjustable spotlights for targeted lighting.
- Specific spotlights with colour spectrum adapted to meat and delicatessen products.
- Dimming systems to adjust intensity as required.
- Robust, easy-to-maintain units for simplified maintenance.
Before/after comparison
| Criteria | Before intervention | After installation Rodalight |
