  • Bringing the outdoors in for Dunelm with biophilic design #Biophilic design is all about reconnecting people with nature in interior spaces. In retail, this means creating environments that feel open, calming, and welcoming - enhancing both customer experience and brand perception. Here, lighting plays a crucial role. Thoughtfully integrated #LED solutions - with tuneable white light, dynamic effects, and natural colour temperatures - enhance the connection to nature, mimicking daylight patterns to create calming, immersive spaces. For Dunelm stores, Unibox engineered window and skylight-effect #LEDlightboxes that replicate natural daylight, creating the illusion of outdoor views within the retail space. This not only makes stores feel brighter and more inviting but also reinforces Dunelm’s connection to home comfort and nature-inspired living. Looking to incorporate biophilic design into your next project? Speak to our team about lighting solutions that bring spaces to life.

  • Not all LEDs are created equal. When it comes to lighting design, the difference between standard and high-efficacy LEDs can be the deciding factor in energy savings, longevity, and overall performance. High-efficacy #LEDs deliver more light per watt, meaning you get superior brightness with lower energy consumption. This is crucial for businesses looking to reduce operating costs while maintaining high-quality illumination in retail, hospitality, and commercial spaces. Beyond efficiency, they also offer better colour rendering and longer lifespans, ensuring consistent lighting performance with minimal maintenance. Whether used in #lightboxes, linear luminaires, or bespoke lighting systems, high-efficacy LEDs enhance both sustainability and visual impact - without compromise. Looking to upgrade your lighting solutions? Speak to our team to explore high-efficacy LED options tailored to your project.

  • Quality LED signage offers huge advantages for businesses seeking to make an impact in competitive commercial environments, whether in retail, hospitality, or office settings. Here are five key benefits: 1. Customisability: LED signage can be tailored to specific brand guidelines, with endless options for colours, shapes, and lighting effects, ensuring a unique visual identity. 2. Durability: Being built using robust materials and specialist machinery, quality LED signs withstand environmental wear and maintain their appearance and performance over time. 3. Versatility: From outdoor displays to intricate interior signage, LED technology suits a wide variety of applications, providing flexibility for evolving brand needs. 4. Brand awareness: The bright, high-contrast visuals created by LED signs help businesses stand out, making them ideal for grabbing attention and reinforcing brand presence in increasingly saturated markets. 5. Reliability: LEDs are energy-efficient and long-lasting, reducing maintenance costs and ensuring your signage performs consistently over time. Not all illuminated signage is created equal, though...and specifiers can sometimes learn the hard way that cheaper doesn't necessarily mean better. Investing in high-quality, well-made signage delivers a superior ROI in all settings and minimises the need for downtime due to maintenance.

  • Superdry stands out with high-impact illuminated signage. In a crowded marketplace, standing out is critical, and #LED signage offers a powerful way to enhance brand visibility. Its ability to draw attention day and night makes it invaluable for businesses looking to elevate their presence. Unlike static signage, LED signs can be customised with dynamic lighting effects, vibrant colours, and tailored designs that reflect a brand’s unique identity. This flexibility means brands can continuously adapt their signage to fit changing campaigns, seasons, or customer trends, keeping the brand fresh and relevant. LED signage also ensures visibility across various settings - whether in busy urban streets, shopping centres, or even indoor spaces like hotels and restaurants. With their high luminosity and crisp detailing, LED signs are easy to spot from a distance. They give brands a visual edge over competitors and create a memorable impression that supercharges brand recognition.

    How did Caffè Concerto breathe new light into a landmark Piccadilly venue? In spaces with limited access to natural light, creating an inviting atmosphere can be a real challenge. Without it, interiors can feel dark and unwelcoming - leading to reduced customer satisfaction, a less engaging experience, and ultimately, fewer returning visitors. For Caffè Concerto’s below-street-level Piccadilly restaurant, this was a significant concern. To overcome this, Unibox partnered with shop-fitters, Tekne, to engineer custom LED lightboxes to replicate the effect of real windows, transforming the space into a vibrant and comfortable environment. Using 4000K LEDs with a high CRI (>90), our solution delivered the natural light quality needed to bring the interior to life, ensuring true colour representation and a bright, welcoming feel. The lightboxes are fully dimmable with a DALI system, so they can be adjusted to create the perfect ambience, day or night. This lighting solution improved the customer experience and enhanced brand perception by creating a visually appealing space that drew in more guests. Even in spaces without natural light, smart LED solutions can be a game-changer for hospitality brands.
