LIGHTING WITH GROUP SWITCHING FOR RETAIL SALES AREAS (1/3-CIRCUIT)
Retail lighting must support multiple operating modes — from full operation and cleaning to night or energy-saving modes. Centrally controlled 1/3-circuit lighting enables flexible group switching without complex reinstallation.
TYPICAL REQUIREMENTS
ON THE SALES FLOOR
- Different lighting levels for operation, cleaning, and night
- Centralized control of large luminaire groups
- Easy adjustment of group assignments during renovations
- Clear structure instead of complex individual wiring
- High operational reliability in ongoing retail operations
Figure: Centrally controlled lighting wiring with flat cable and pluggable tap-offs for assigning luminaires to groups.
SYSTEM SETUP AT A GLANCE
The lighting supply is provided via a flat cable as a continuous infrastructure.
Luminaires are connected via pluggable tap-offs and, by selecting the phase, are permanently assigned to a luminaire group. This allows lighting zones to be controlled centrally, without the need to wire each luminaire individually.
IN EVERY SALES FLOOR AREA
- Central power supply via pluggable flat cable
- Grouping of luminaires via phase selection (1/3-circuit)
- Pluggable luminaire connections for easy installation
- Flexible adjustment of luminaire groups without re-cabling
- Clear and structured lighting installation
TYPICAL APPLICATION AREAS
- Sales areas in supermarkets & hypermarkets
- Specialty stores and large-format retail
- Sales zones with cleaning or night operation
- Areas with changing lighting requirements

THE RIGHT COMPONENTS FOR CENTRALLY CONTROLLED LIGHTING ON THE SALES FLOOR
Industrially pre-assembled gesis® system components
POWER SUPPLY VIA FLAT CABLE
Flat cable for the central power supply of the lighting.
Power tap-off possible at any position along the sales floor.
PLUGGABLE LUMINAIRE CONNECTION
Pluggable connection solutions for different luminaire types.
Mechanical and color coding prevent misplugging.
DIMMING AND EXPANSION OPTIONS
Optionally, dimmable luminaires or additional control components can be integrated – pluggable and modularly extendable.
Practical example: Outdoor and seasonal lighting
Outdoor lighting, advertising installations, or seasonal installations can also be implemented with pluggable systems.
RST® connectors with a high degree of protection enable safe lighting installations even in harsh operating conditions.
