As part of their Industry Spotlight, Illuma worked with a particular company in order to create a vibrant and functional lighting scheme for their store. We read the Sheppy's Cider case and realized it is a stunning example of restaurant and retail lighting at its best, so we wanted to present it to our customers below.
Please note: the pictures and descriptions are by Illuma Lighting. We do not do lighting projects, but if you own a restaurant, a hotel, or a retail which needs a lighting design, please contact us and we will put you in touch with the Illuma Lighting project specialists to advise. You can buy many Illuma lights at Sparks here.

Sheppy's are one of the oldest premium craft cider-making families in the world, with a history that goes back more than 200 years. Sheppy's new 'House of Cider Visitor Centre' brings together a butchery, deli, and cafe stocked with the finest locally sourced produce.

Visitors can also explore their full range of award-winning craft ciders and even book a guided tour or tasting event to discover some of Sheppy's oldest cider-making secrets.
At the start of this exciting project, Illuma were asked to propose a series of lighting designs for Sheppy's.

The opportunity to work closely with such an exciting and historic British brand in revamping their visitor centre was one that excited all involved.
The final lighting scheme for Sheppy's Cider used a variety of luminaries, including the Gridspot & Floodline combined with Twizzle downlighters.

Illuma wanted to help Sheppy's create a flagship environment to promote their brand by installing a brand new lighting scheme.
To do this, the aim was to dramatically increase the lux levels in the main area of the visitor centre - particularly over produce - to entice customers to make a purchase. Emphasis was also placed on making the bar and restaurant areas darker to create a more seductive, cosy atmosphere.
Vibrancy & brightness were required around the butchery, deli and cafe areas.
The Solution: When Sheppy's first approached Illuma, they knew what type of environment they wanted to create but didn't know how to achieve it. With over 40+ years of lighting experience this is where Illuma were able to help transform Sheppy's rough ideas into real-life working solutions.

One of the main features of the Twizzle LED downlight is its fully adjustable rotating body that provides a truly flexible lighting solution. In return, this gives the client the opportunity to play with the lighting direction of the luminaire and gives Sheppy's the freedom to constantly keep changing their restaurant layout whilst adapting their lighting to suit.
The final lighting scheme for Sheppy's Cider used a variety of luminaries, including the Illuma, Gridspot LED and Floodline LED spotlights.
These were carefully chosen as it was important that each lighting solution blended in with its environment.

Gridspot LED spotlights were used to highlight the shop displays throughout the main area of the visitor centre alongside Floodline LED's to wash the floor with general lighting.
