Lighting for the Famila Supermarket in Collepepe

Efficiency and enhancement in Large-Scale Retail, a new project combining quality and Made in Italy

The Large-Scale Retail (GDO) sector requires increasingly advanced lighting solutions capable of combining energy efficiency, lighting quality and the enhancement of commercial spaces.
The new Famila supermarket in Collepepe (Perugia), recently inaugurated by Etruria Retail, is a practical example of this approach. The lighting project was developed with the aim of creating a welcoming, functional environment fully aligned with the contemporary requirements of the large-scale retail sector.
The project is part of a context in which light is no longer simply a technical element, but a design tool capable of enhancing the shopping experience and improving the perception and readability of commercial spaces.

Supermarket lighting: balancing functionality and product perception

In a large-scale retail store, lighting must meet highly specific requirements: ensuring uniform visibility, helping customers navigate the space and enhancing the products on display.
For the Famila Collepepe project, the lighting design was developed to:

• Ensure uniform illumination throughout the sales areas
• Improve product visibility on the shelves
• Create a visually organised and easy-to-read environment
• Reduce energy consumption through LED technology

The objective was not only technical but also perceptual: to create a more welcoming and intuitive shopping environment.

The lighting solutions: integrated systems for every function

To meet the different requirements of the store, specific lighting solutions were selected and integrated into a coherent overall design.

GDO SYSTEM: general lighting

The GDO SYSTEM was used to provide uniform, functional general lighting. This solution makes it possible to illuminate large areas while maintaining consistent lighting quality, an essential requirement in large-scale retail environments.

GULP: accent lighting for products

For display areas and product enhancement, the GULP system was selected. Designed to focus attention through precise light distribution, it creates visual hierarchy and guides customers throughout the store.

ARRONDO D: design and efficiency

The ARRONDO D luminaire was installed in key areas of the supermarket, combining technical performance with refined aesthetics. The solution helps define specific areas with a distinctive visual identity while maintaining high standards of energy efficiency.

Lighting and Large-Scale Retail: a design-driven approach

The project for Famila Collepepe demonstrates how lighting can be used as a strategic tool in the design of large-scale retail spaces.
A well-designed lighting system makes it possible to:

• Improve the customer experience
• Increase the readability of the space
• Enhance the commercial offering
• Optimise energy consumption

The collaboration with companies such as Etruria Retail confirms the value of an integrated approach, where design, technology and manufacturing work together to achieve tangible results.

Light as a value-added element for food retail

Bringing the quality and design of Made in Italy into the Large-Scale Retail (GDO) sector means developing reliable, efficient solutions that meet the market’s needs.
The Famila supermarket project in Collepepe demonstrates how light can transform a commercial space into a functional, welcoming environment focused on the customer experience.
In today’s retail sector, lighting alone is not enough: light must be designed.
