LED Retail Lighting That Elevates Products & Customer Experience

NCLTG supplies retail lighting packages that balance visual impact with efficiency and uptime. From boutiques and showrooms to big-box and grocery, we size optics, wattage, and color to your ceiling height, aisle layout, and merchandising plan. The result is bright, even illumination on floors and faces—plus crisp, well-aimed light on shelves, signage, and feature displays.

Lighting Categories We Support for Retail

  • Panels & troffers: low-glare, uniform ambient lighting for sales floors, service counters, and offices
  • Downlights & accents: tighter beam options for tables, end caps, vitrines, and feature walls
  • Linear strips: continuous runs for aisles and perimeter walls with clean, consistent brightness
  • Vapor-tight / back-of-house: sealed fixtures for prep rooms, coolers, stock, and utility areas
  • High bays (large-format retail): high-output, high-uniformity lighting for tall, open ceilings

Performance, Compliance & Uptime

Core series are DLC listed and UL/ETL certified to simplify rebates and code compliance. High-efficacy LEDs cut operating costs, while long lifetimes reduce relamping and downtime. For national rollouts and remodels, we provide cut sheets, submittals, and photometric layouts so stakeholders can review target foot-candles, uniformity, and energy impact before installation.
