No more guesswork. Here is the definitive lighting guide for your jewelry store, designed to make every piece look like it's under a premium spotlight.
Color Temperature: Lock in the Jewelry's Essence
•Diamonds / Platinum & Silver: Opt for 5000K Pure White Light. This precisely reveals the gem's fire and the metal's cool, sleek luster, doubling the sparkle from every facet.
•Colored Gemstones / Pearls: Use 4000K-4500K Neutral White Light. This enhances the rich hues of colored stones while showcasing the soft, warm glow of pearls, preventing any color distortion.
Brightness & Specs: Forget Watts, Focus on Lumens & Lux
· Counter Accent Lighting (Ceiling Height 2.2-2.5m):
Choose spotlights with a luminous flux of 800-1200 lumens and a beam angle of 24°-36°. This creates a focused intensity of 1000-1500 lux on the jewelry's surface.
· Ambient Space Lighting (Ceiling Height 2.5-3m):
Select downlights with a luminous flux of 1200-1800 lumens. This ensures an ambient illuminance of 200-300 lux, creating a clear contrast with the main counter lighting to establish visual hierarchy and eliminate dark zones.
Layout Keys: Spacing is the Secret to Sophistication
•Spotlight Spacing (Above Counters): 60-80cm between fixtures. Each light should accurately cover 1-2 display compartments, ensuring every piece is centered in its own pool of light.
• Distance from Lights to Wall: 50-60cm. This minimizes wall shadows, making the entire space feel more open and transparent, and keeping the focus squarely on the jewelry.
