In addition to internal case lighting, external spotlights make the entire case a beacon. The layering creates depth and prominence, drawing customers to the merchandise.

Approach Detail
Install 2-4 adjustable spotlights (15-20° beam) from ceiling aimed at display case top surface and front. Use track or recessed adjustable fixtures. Set 3:1 brightness ratio vs. ambient to create focal hierarchy. Coordinate CCT with internal case lighting (2700-3000K).
Key Fixtures
Adjustable recessed spotlights or track heads, narrow beam LED modules (CRI 90+), aiming tools for precise focus.
Designer Notes
Render from entry perspective showing pastry case as glowing destination. Show how spots create pools of extra brightness without making case look clinical. Include customer reaching toward case, drawn by light.
Best For
Cafés where pastry sales are significant revenue, creating upsell opportunities, highlighting daily specials.
