Using light to accentuate food

ERCO Lighting Pte Ltd

Monday, 24 October, 2016

A Spanish delicatessen chain has opted for ERCO LED lighting tools in its newest store to present its array of regional specialities in a fresh and appetising light.

A small chain of delicatessen supermarkets in and around Barcelona, Casa Tió sells mostly meat specialities — hams and sausages, cuts of chicken, duck, goose, rabbit, pork, lamb, veal and beef sold in fresh, vacuum-packed portions — as well as milk, cheese, eggs and wine from the Catalonian region. To help customers distinguish between the different kinds of meats and products, a primary concern was superior light quality to ensure faithful reproduction of the various colours.

Opened in 2015, the store was conceived with a new interior design as a prototype for other Casa Tió stores. The zonal lighting solution relies on ERCO LED lighting tools for maximum flexibility using a single range of luminaires. To blend in with the store’s black ceiling, Optec spotlights finished in black were mounted on a black ERCO track system. The result is a display of gourmet foods and products presented in light that is virtually invisible to the customer.

The ERCO LED Optec spotlights used in the store provide 24 W warm white light at 3000 K — offering high-quality colour rendering properties (Ra ≥ 90) as a feature.
