LED Lighting Solutions in Action: SEEKING HLS Series in a German Supermarket

In 2024, a well-known home goods supermarket in Germany decided it was time to rethink its lighting. The store had high ceilings, long aisles and a wide range of products packed into every shelf. Management wanted a brighter, more comfortable environment for shoppers, but they also needed to control energy costs. To meet both goals, they chose SEEKING LED Lighting Solutions, centered around the HLS Series LED Linear Trunking System.

The Challenge: 600 LUX, Comfort and Efficiency

Retailers know that light directly affects how customers see products and how they feel in the store. This supermarket set a clear target: reach an average of 600 LUX across the sales floor to make goods stand out, without creating glare or hard shadows.

However, their traditional lighting setup was not ideal. It consumed too much power, was difficult to maintain and did not provide an even light level. Some areas felt dim, others looked overlit, and the overall visual impression didn’t match the supermarket’s modern brand image. They needed LED lighting solutions that could deliver stable, uniform brightness with lower running costs.

The Solution: HLS Series LED Linear Trunking System

After evaluating several options, the project team selected SEEKING’s HLS Series LED Linear Trunking System and deployed 812 units of the XJ-HLS6980-1575 model.

A few key points made this system a good fit:

• Modular, Continuous Linear Design
  The HLS Series allows continuous runs along long aisles, following the store layout closely. This design ensures smooth, continuous light over shelves and walkways, which is difficult to achieve with scattered traditional fixtures.
• Quick Installation and Easy Layout Adjustment
  Thanks to the modular trunking concept, the installer could pre-plan the runs, click in the luminaires and complete the upgrade in a relatively short time. For a busy supermarket, minimizing downtime is critical.
• Optimized for Linear LED Light Performance
  As a professional Linear LED Light solution, the HLS Series focuses on uniformity and efficiency. The light distribution is tailored for retail aisles, with an emphasis on product visibility instead of wasting light on unused areas.

Significant Results: Brighter, Cleaner, More Modern

Once the new system was switched on, the difference was visible immediately:

• Uniform Brightness Around 600 LUX
  The supermarket reached its target illuminance level. Products, packaging and signage became clearer, especially in central aisles and promotional zones. Customers could quickly find what they wanted and compare options without straining their eyes.
• Improved Shopping Atmosphere
  The overall ambiance shifted from “functional but dated” to “clean, bright and modern”. The linear layout of the HLS fixtures aligned with the shelving system, giving the store a more ordered and professional look.
• Energy Savings and Operational Benefits
  By replacing older fixtures with SEEKING’s LED lighting solutions, the supermarket reduced its energy consumption for lighting while improving performance. Less maintenance, longer lifetime and stable light output are all important advantages in high-use retail environments.

Positive Feedback from Store Management

Store management was very clear in their feedback: the HLS upgrade brought visible value. They highlighted:

• Reliable, consistent lighting across the entire sales area
• Noticeable improvement in how products are presented
• Reduced power usage and better cost control over time

The project also supported their sustainability goals, showing that environmental responsibility and good business can go hand in hand when the right LED lighting solutions are chosen.

Lighting Lessons for Retailers

This German supermarket case shows how modern LED lighting solutions can directly support retail performance:

1. Good Light Quality Drives Sales and Satisfaction
   Bright, uniform lighting makes products more attractive and helps customers make quick decisions.
2. Linear LED Systems are Ideal for Aisles
   For long, regular aisles, a high-quality Linear LED Light system like the SEEKING HLS Series ensures consistent coverage and a clear visual rhythm.
3. Energy Efficiency is a Long-Term Asset
   Upgrading to efficient LED systems reduces operating costs year after year, not just in the first months.
