			<![CDATA[Haven't you mentioned a few times that it is a wedding shop for your partner? If clothes / wedding dresses are being tried on I would have thought it requires some careful planning around the lighting of that area at least. I would have thought this one question the GBF might not be the best at offering advice on! <img src="/newforum/extensions/Vanillacons/smilies/standard/bigsmile.gif" alt=":bigsmile:" title=":bigsmile:" />]]>

			<![CDATA[Make sure you get the colour rendering correct - potential brides get quickly pissed off when that pure white satin gown she has her heart set on looks decidedly creamy or grey  - and her complexion looks awful as well as the direction of lighting is far too modelling<br /><br />Lighting that shop is a huge part of your sales strategy - do not have cheap lamps that colour shift with age<br /><br />Usually, the solution is a combination of tungsten, tungsten halogen and LED - you want the widest spectrum you can get - and don't forget the impact of daylight (both in terms of light and heat)<br /><br />When Memsahib is squeezing big brides into frocks that are 2 sizes too small, it all gets a bit sweaty<br /><br />Regards<br /><br />Barney]]>
