Exact Effect, the new spotlight fitting for the grocery retail category from Philips, delivers excellent-quality light that helps improve the look of fresh food. It is available across a range of product specifications including track and surface-mounted options. Exact Effect is one of five key highlights in the new Philips UK Spring Collection 2013.

Exact Effect features a highly efficient LED light engine and high-performance optics that bring out the detail of retailers produce by increasing contrast and sparkle. It is great as a spotlight to enhance high value, fresh supermarket products like fruit and vegetables, fish, meat and bakery items but can also help to highlight other items in key promotional areas.

Mike Simpson, Technical and Design Director at Philips comments, “The great thing about this product is that it’s actually a range. This means that the shop owner can select the appropriate lighting configuration for each area of a store while maintaining a consistent design approach.”

The lights have a wide choice of beam shapes; two, three, four or five lenses and colour temperatures designed for maximum flexibility. Use them in promotional areas, aisles, fresh-food sections and at the head of gondola.

Exact Effect also gives great value-for-money with low total cost of ownership thanks to:

-       30% reduced energy consumption compared to traditional spotlight applications
-       less fittings required, thanks to optimised light distribution that allows fixtures to be spaced wider apart from each other (ensuring 25% less are needed)
-       no maintenance needs, thanks to ultra reliable heat management, great for supermarkets that are open 24-hours a day and where maintenance is difficult

It also features a choice of light levels, different Exact Beams (narrow, medium, wide and oval) and different tones of white light and a rose filter to enhance to appearance of meat.
