Your Business 
in the spotlight

When lighting makes a business stand out and creates more customer traffic, it's a good idea to share that business lighting practice.  CMP features these businssses on a regular basis so other Maine businesses can achieve the same goal.  Take a look below!

 

 

Panera Bread (back to TOP)

 

 

Combinations of lights (recessed, track, and pendant) are used for different tasks and to achieve different effects.

Freeport Public Library (back to TOP)

 

 

  

Large metal halide pendants provide good illumination for stacks with high shelves. These lamps provide a bright white light and the fixtures add to the decor. Recessed fixtures in lobby area provides good and unobtrusive lighting.
 

 

Sleek fluorescent fixtures provide direct and indirect lighting using energy efficient T-8 lamps. This provides bright, uniform lighting, while minimizing glare. Decorative wall sconces use compact fluorescent lamps to provide wall-washing illumination with interesting eyecatching fixture.

display.

SYSCO (back to TOP)

   
SYSCO’s remodeled demonstration kitchen uses indirect luminaries that reflect the light off the ceiling into the lighted space. This lighting system provides even illumination without glare. Energy-efficient T-8 lamps provide excellent color rendition as well.
 
   
The office is lighted with recessed, 2 lamp, 4-foot
fixtures using T8 lamps and louvered lenses. Note      the uniform glare-free illumination.		 Lights were placed to maximize light output directly
over each work area. For tasks where attention to
detail is critical, adequate lighting is a must.
 

 

The parts department features the same lighting as
the front office area. The lighting here needs to
provide good illumination for working on a computer
and locating parts.		 Nowhere is lighting more important than in the paint room. Color rendition must be excellent and the light levels need to be uniform. Wall-mounted fixtures ensure all surfaces are properly illuminated.
 
 

  
The main lobby features custom-made hanging fixtures that add a touch of elegance to welcome patients. These fixtures are used in other waiting rooms, too. Note the reflectors that provide indirect
lighting.		 The linear accelerator room where patients receive radiation treatment has unique star field ceiling lighting to help patients relax. Recessed fixtures with dimmable CFLs (compact fluorescent lights) provide brighter lighting when needed. The control panel for the accelerator also includes controls for the room lighting.

 
Indirect fixtures over the reception desks reduce
glare for a more comfortable work environment.
These fixtures use a single linear T5 lamp enclosed
in the lower metal rectangular component that
reflects on the upper part of the fixture.

 Mini pendants using CFLs add a decorative touch at the nurses’ station in the oncology treatment area and they provide good lighting for the counter and area tasks.

 (Left): Flexibility in lighting can help one room
serve multiple purposes. In the main conference room, louvered fixtures using two T5 lamps have separate switches to provide either up or down lighting — or both as pictured — depending on the need.
 
 
   
High-bay fixtures using T8 fluorescent lamps are used in the gym. Fixtures have reflectors to direct the light down. There are 4 lamps per fixture, but bi-level switching allows them to only turn in 2 lamps per
fixture when lower light levels are adequate.

 Front desk area uses recessed cans with compact fluorescent lamps directly over the counter, recessed
linear fluorescent behind the desk, and mini-pendants (one shown) for a decorative touch.
   
Large, modern fixtures mounted up high light the entire
pool area indirectly. Fixtures use 400-watt metal halide lamps.
 Hanging fixtures with single T8 lamps mounted near the walls provide soft, but effective light for the conference room.
 

Decorative pendants with CFLs are used in just a few locations. Here they help define the seating area and the fixtures themselves create
some visual interest.

Modern, sleek pendant fixtures light and define thiscounter seating area. In the background by the entrance there is a larger hanging fixture with a higher wattage lamp to make sure this area is well lit.

 

 

A combination of lighting systems is used for
the counter and food service area. Track lights
illuminate the menu and art work on the back wall, as well as the service counter. Linear fluorescent fixtures hang from the ceiling to provide general lighting using direct lighting (aimed at the lighted surface) and indirect lighting (reflected off ceilings or walls) to create a warm atmosphere in this open, high-ceilinged space.

 
   

The reception area is well-lit with track lighting that provides both ambient and accent lighting, while repeating the curved track motif.

 

 Low-voltage track lighting creates a warm atmosphere in the waiting room. The curved track provides a touch of elegance.
   

Low-voltage track lighting illuminates the hallway that
looks more like a high-end boutique hotel than a medical office.

The treatment room is lighted by direct/indirect fluorescent lighting, supplemented by under-cabinet
lighting and task lighting, resulting in a bright, inviting, and functional space.		 The office is lit with direct/indirect fixtures using T8 fluorescent lamps. The indirect lighting highlights the
beautiful wood ceiling and provides even lighting with minimal glare.
 

Large high-bay fixtures with compact fluorescent lamps provide effective, energy-efficient illumination. These fixtures are used in all the hallways and foyers in all the commercial areas of the building. The large size of the fixture and the heavy black metal components are a good choice for the high-ceilinged space
 

 

Direct/indirect fluorescent fixtures are used throughout the space occupied by Health Reach. Here a hung, dropped ceiling is used to define the space and
provide a reflective surface for the lighting.		 Direct/indirect fixtures are a good choice where computers are used. Note the even illumination in this training room.
 

 

Along the hallway walls, decorative wall sconces add a touch of elegance, while providing additional illumination for doorway areas. These fixtures use compact fluorescent lamps as well. The kitchens in the apartments feature granite counters and track lighting along with under cabinet lighting. This feature highlights and provides effective ambient and task lighting.
