Enhancing Retail Storefronts with Shallow Setback LED Solutions

Retail storefronts are the face of your business, making the right lighting essential for attracting customers and showcasing your brand effectively. Shallow setback LED solutions, like those offered by EOS Light’s LightPaper and Media Frame Ad Boxes, provide an innovative and energy-efficient way to illuminate retail displays, even in confined spaces.

 

Why Choose Shallow Setback LED Lighting?

 

Maximized Space Efficiency

Shallow setback LED lighting is ideal for retail environments where space is at a premium. These solutions are designed to fit within tight spaces while still delivering high-quality illumination. Basic or Diffused LightPaper from EOS Light, for example, is ultra-thin, making it perfect for slim displays and confined areas. This flexibility allows retailers to enhance their storefronts without sacrificing valuable display space.

 

High-Impact Illumination

Despite their compact design, shallow setback LEDs in LightPaper and LightPanel products offer powerful illumination that can highlight displays and signage effectively. These LEDs produce bright, even lighting that is particularly important for retail, where the right lighting can make a significant difference in how products are perceived by customers.

Versatility and Customization

Shallow setback LED solutions are versatile and can be customized to meet the specific needs of your storefront. Whether you’re illuminating a product display, a sign, or an entire storefront, these solutions can be tailored to fit your design requirements – even in situations where the depth of your wall or cabinet used for lighting is not very deep. For example, the Media Frame Ad Boxes from EOS Light offer customizable options for framing and lighting, allowing you to create a cohesive and visually appealing display that draws in customers.

Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is a crucial consideration for any retail environment, and shallow setback LEDs excel in this area. These LEDs consume less power than traditional lighting options, helping to reduce energy costs while providing consistent and reliable illumination. This makes them an eco-friendly choice that supports sustainable business practices.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

Shallow setback LED solutions are designed for easy installation and minimal maintenance. Their slim profiles and lightweight construction make them simple to install, even in areas with limited space. Additionally, the long lifespan of LED lighting means that you won’t have to worry about frequent replacements, reducing maintenance costs and downtime.

 

Applications for Shallow Setback LED Lighting in Retail Settings

 

Window Displays

Window displays are a critical component of any retail storefront, as they are often the first thing potential customers see. Shallow setback LEDs can be used in limited, shallow spaces to create dynamic and eye-catching window displays that capture attention and entice customers to enter the store. The bright, even light provided by Basic LightPaper ensures that products are displayed in their best light, even in low-light conditions.

 

Signage and Branding

Effective signage is essential for brand visibility, and shallow setback LED lighting can enhance the impact of your signs. By backlighting signs with Media Frame Ad Boxes, you can create a striking visual effect that makes your branding stand out, even from a distance. This is particularly useful for businesses located in busy shopping areas where competition for attention is high.

 

Interior Displays

Inside the store, shallow setback LED lighting can be used to highlight key products and promotions. Whether it’s illuminating a feature wall, a product display, or a promotional sign, these our products provide the flexibility to create a tailored lighting solution that complements your store’s layout and design. This helps to guide customers through the store and draw attention to specific items.

 

Small and Confined Spaces

For boutiques, pop-up shops or any types of retail locations with limited-depth wall spaces, shallow setback LED LightPanels or LightPaper products are ideal solutions. Their slim profiles allow them to be installed in tight areas, ensuring that the store has well-lit signage or display features and is inviting.

 

Choosing the Right Shallow Setback LED Solution

When selecting shallow setback LED lighting for your retail storefront, it’s important to consider the specific needs of your space and the products you wish to highlight. EOS Light’s LightPaper and Media Frame Ad Boxes offer a range of options that can be customized to fit your unique requirements.

 

Conclusion

Shallow setback LED solutions offer a versatile, efficient, and visually striking way to illuminate retail storefronts, especially when wall depth is limited. Whether you’re looking to enhance window displays, signage, or interior lighting, products like LightPaper and Media Frame Ad Boxes from EOS Light provide the ideal solution. These LEDs not only maximize space efficiency but also deliver high-impact illumination that can elevate your retail environment and attract more customers.

Fast, very fast. A standard order is produced in under 7 days and shipped via air. Many orders arrive at the customer’s door within 14-21 days after being placed.

In short, our light panel technology is an ultra-slim sheet of light that combines LED lighting technology and an exclusive 3D cutting process to give you a versatile light source that generates a soft and even beam of light virtually without any heat. It’s slim profile and low power draw make the EOS Light Frame System applicable in many different applications; especially retail and display lighting, accent and signage lighting.

Absolutely. Our LED Light Panels use high quality PCB board, with the LEDs mounted directly to the heatsink, which means more customization with less heat, less hassle. Many light panel companies are unable to make custom shape patterns because they rely on rigid aluminum extrusion on the edge of the acrylic which acts as the heatsink, disallowing them from creating organic shapes. If your project warrants organic shapes of this kind, please reach out to us to consult with our specializing engineering customer service representatives. Please feel free to contact us concerning any of your project needs.

Yes, absolutely! Many of our competitors are unable to make specialized frameless LED Light Panel solutions because they rely on aging technology, such as the aluminum extrusion that houses the LED lights around the edges. This extrusion, while sleek, is a minimum of .5″. We do, however, offer framed light panels, which can be used for a variety of installations.

Our technology allows for direct flush mounting of LEDs to the heatsink, all concealed in a frameless design which allows for many more customization, including the ultra slim profile and custom shapes that our competitors simply cannot achieve.

Yes, we offer various options to control our light panel systems. Please reach out to our customer service team to find out what solutions we recommend.

Whatever you prefer. Our standard color temperatures are 2400k, 2700k, 3000k, 4000k, 6000k, 6500k, but we can produce a wide range of custom color temperatures, including the RGB color spectrum. Reach out to our staff to find out more!

Light Paper is a premium LED backlighting material that is thin and lightweight. It is flexible, cuttable, modular and quick to install. You can wrap it around curved surfaces, make custom shapes with it and use it as illuminated inner building material to make textured and translucent objects shine. It is available in several lumen package options and color temperatures.

Light Paper is available for indoor use in white, tunable white, RGB, RGBW and “All in 1” (RGB and tunable white), plus diffused white (for super-low setback) –– and now EOS has added Dim-to-Warm Light Paper to the series in two varieties (3000K to 1800K when dimmed, and 2500K to 1800K when dimmed).

There are four types of Outdoor Light Paper, as well, which are rated for damp or wet locations (not fully submerged in water, however). These include basic white, tunable white, RGB and RGBW.

Setback is the term used to describe the distance needed between the LED backlighting and the surface of the material being lit from behind.  The beauty of Light Paper is that it’s suited for super-shallow setback starting at 1/4″, depending on the transparency of the illuminated material. Most can be evenly illuminated w/ 1 – 2″ setback. We fully recommend creating a mock up prior to specifying the job.

Light Paper is backed with industrial-strength 3M tape. Just peel and stick! However, you may also pin, staple or nail Light Paper at the intersections of marked, dashed lines upon which the Light Paper can be cut.

When deemed necessary in order to mount to your surface type, use of both the adhesive AND pins or nails is recommended, as per the Installation Instructions.

Actually, different types are Light Paper have different dashed lines upon which cuts are possible. Some are in 1” squares. Others are in strips. While others are in larger rectangles.

Actually, EOS Light offers tiling services as an adder upon request. Although this comes at an incremental cost, it also can save time – and save the expense of ordering extra material in case of any cutting errors. Additionally, with EOS tiling service also comes precise installation instructions made just for you and with labeled, delivered materials to match, for the quickest install possible.

No! The beauty is that you may cut the Light Paper along the dashed cut lines of the material even as late in the game as on the job site during installation. This tremendous benefit of Light Paper means no time lost if an obstruction is unexpectedly discovered. For instance, at one EOS Light Paper installation, a client found that they had failed to account for a sprinkler head during the planning. No problem and no delays! Just a pair of common scissors saved the day with versatile, cuttable Light Paper.

For small orders, EOS Light Paper has a lead time of 21 days, which includes production time + shipping. For large projects, please consult an EOS team member for an ETA when ordering.
