Interior Design
Lighting gives more beneficial highlights of the boutique than just lighting up the merchandise. Consequently, interior design of a boutique has to be done while putting into consideration various aspects of analysis (Baumstarck, Anne & Park 2010).
Two Types of Light Fittings
Ambient Lighting and Accent Lighting should be used. Ambient lighting enables the boutique workers to work and consumers to shop efficiently. The lighting focuses the products on display to the client, hides boutique imperfections, brings warmth and enhances positive experience while shopping. The lights remove the need for bright lights, therefore, they should be strong enough to focus the client to inspect the goods and services. The ambient light has to be soft to enhance intimate but professional mood. Moreover, warm lights on recessed ceiling and wall lighting should be used to produce a welcoming mood in the boutique (Henderson & Joan 2011).
Accent lights are employed when specific products need to be drawn into the attention of the customer. The lights produce narrow beams and they are focused brightly on the specific products of attraction .The light should, however, be focused with small light intensity to ensure that the products are featured sharply. The lights can be focused from above or below while making sure that the lights do not shine directly into the eyes of the client. The jewelry, for instance, should be focused with cool white lights while the mirror vicinities should be focused with a light which is either warm white or a pink-toned.

The expensive items on window display should be focused with accent lighting to indicate that the items are high-end and exclusive (Rantisi, Norma & Deborah 2006).Style and Color of Lighting
The style to be used has to match with the boutique ambience .Crystal lights which are dripping from chandelier paired with luxury carpet induce the feel of richness. The style employed in lighting determines the tone of the boutique. The colored lights should be used in specific points such as bringing sparkling in jewelry. Use of pink lights improves the tones of the skin (Park, Nam‐Kyu, Pae et al 2010).
.
Specification of the LED Lights
The LED lights to be used should be of high quality. Small light decay LED lights guarantees long life span of the lights. The quality of the LED chip indicates the brightness of light as well as the light fades. A small light fade lamp but bright should be used. LED lamps with high efficiency and drive power should be used. LED lamps with about 0.9 drive power are preferred because they are long-lived and have small power consumption (Jennings & Jan 2007). Additionally, the lumps have small current harmonics and stable current which is good for the life of lamp beads. The radiator material for the best LED lamps should be aluminum.The radiator structure should be considered since it determines the expected cooling conditions of the chip and the temperature of the conductive core (Quartier & Katelijn 2011). The area of the radiator determines the nature of the expected cooling effect. The lamp life will be shortening by a great light decay as a result of lamp beads operating at high temperature. LED lamps which can be used in a diverse environment and technical factors such as moisture and dust should be used (Heathcote & Edwin 2011). A Good LED lamp which elicits suitable boutique lights should have high quality lamp beads and high power supply. Additionally, the lamp should follow safety standards and good power production. The aspects mentioned should be considered to avoid losses in the boutique as a result of inefficient lighting (Henderson & Joan 2011).
Electrical Regulation
The LED lamps to be used should adhere to act of 2007 concerning energy which stipulates that light bulbs must be produced with 25% increased efficiency. The manufacturing company should put into the consideration the act. The fluorescent bulbs have mercury which is harmful to human health, therefore, care must be taken while disposing the items. On the other hand, LED lights are made up of toxic metals which are also harmful to human health (Baumstarck, Anne & Nam‐Kyu 2010). The use of color in the LED can bring confusion on streets due to traffic lights. Considerations must be put in place to prevent confusion in boutiques which are near traffic lights. State laws sometimes control the use of flashing or spinning. Some states do not allow the use of some colors such as blue in lighting.Notably, many countries restrict the use red lights. Consequently, the type of light to be used must conform to the state regulations of a particular country (Schielke, Thomas & Leudesdorff 2011).
Cost of LightingThe high quality, high efficiency and the use of the light in the variety of needs of the LED lights add up to a comparatively high cost. The cost attached to an installation of the LED lights is due to the advanced technology employed in the manufacture of the products. A LED bulb manufactured at 800 lumens Philips cost $40 and the product utilizes 12 watts. Installing LED lights needs analysis of the cost that is incurred in the process. Replacing 60-watt incandescent with a LED light requires a total of $39.98.The process will result in saving $132 in the whole life span of the bulb given that the cost of electricity is at 10 cents/KWH. The estimated time outcome using the outlined method is the same as us seventeen years of using the bulb four hours a day (Baumstarck, Anne & Park 2010).
Reducing the Cost
The energy saving techniques must be employed to reduce the operation cost. Energy saving is done by using dimmable bulbs which become dim in daytime. The day light sensor bulbs which go off when the day breaks should be used. The solar powered LED bulbs save energy by minimizing the use of electric power (Quartier, Katelijn, Vanrie et al 2014). The solar powered LED bulbs are suitable for outdoor use. In addition, energy can be greatly saved by switching off the LED bulbs when they are not in use. The initial cost of installation should be minimized by buying the items directly from the manufacturer. The technicians working on the installation should be drawn from a well-recognized company which can offer after-sales services. Saving energy enhances ecologically friendly environment and reduces the pollution of the environment. Moreover, energy saving ensures that the equipment for lighting the last longer (Park & Farr 2007).
Type of Shining
Point spots and Shelf-shining are best suited for boutiques. Point spots are used to draw the customers’ attention to specific products and location in the boutique. The spotlights should be used to showcase the samples of the all products available in the boutique. The client’s attraction or decision to focus his or her attention on the showcased products is determined by the highlighted samples. Shelf-shining enables the products on the shelves to be visible. The lights to be used have to be high quality to ensure that the customer does not bump on the products (Park & Farr 2007)
