In the retail world, lighting can make or break a shopping experience. It's not just about making products visible; it’s about creating a welcoming environment that feels both inviting and comfortable. In 2024, Sam's Club supermarkets recognized this and took their in-store lighting to the next level with SEEKING LED Lighting Solutions, using our high-performance XJ-HBC150W and XJ-HBC200W models to optimize store brightness, enhance product visibility, and create an all-around better shopping experience.

The Challenge: Enhancing Lighting in a High-Ceiling Retail Space

With high ceilings and expansive aisles, Sam's Club stores present unique lighting challenges. The lighting solution needed to cover large spaces effectively while maintaining even brightness, reducing glare, and ultimately elevating the customer experience. Sam's Club sought a solution that would balance bright, energy-efficient lighting with a visually comfortable environment.

The Solution: Installing SEEKING's High-Performance Models

For this project, Sam's Club installed a combination of 750 units of SEEKING's XJ-HBC150W and 300 units of the XJ-HBC200W models. Together, these lights achieved an impressive 600 LUX of ground illuminance and 100 LUX of ceiling illuminance. Here’s how this solution worked:

•  Uniform Brightness: By strategically installing our XJ-HBC models, the lighting was distributed evenly throughout the store, preventing dark spots and creating a cohesive, inviting environment.

•  PC Lampshades for Reduced Glare: Each unit comes equipped with a PC lampshade, which not only diffuses light more softly but also significantly reduces glare. This soft illumination minimizes eye strain, allowing customers to browse comfortably.

•  Energy Efficiency: Despite achieving high illuminance levels, the XJ-HBC150W and XJ-HBC200W models are incredibly energy-efficient, supporting Sam’s Club’s goal to reduce energy costs while maintaining optimal lighting quality.

The Results: A Bright, Comfortable, and Efficient Store Environment

With SEEKING’s lighting in place, Sam's Club stores saw immediate benefits:

•  Enhanced Product Visibility: The 600 LUX ground brightness makes products stand out, helping customers easily locate items and better appreciate product details.

•  Improved Customer Comfort: The PC lampshades softened the light, creating a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere that encourages shoppers to stay longer.

•  Positive Customer Feedback: Shoppers noticed the difference right away, with many commenting on how comfortable and enjoyable the shopping environment felt.

What Sam’s Club Management Had to Say

The team at Sam's Club expressed high satisfaction with the new lighting system. They noted that the upgrade brought a noticeable improvement in both the shopping environment and customer satisfaction. The energy-efficient nature of the XJ-HBC models also aligned with their sustainability goals, adding to the overall appeal of the solution.
