Commercial & Retail Space Lighting in Montreal
What Is Commercial & Retail Space Lighting?
Commercial lighting covers all exterior illumination for stores, offices, and mixed-use developments. This includes facades, entrances, pathways, parking areas, and display windows. These projects demand higher lumen output, uniform coverage, and integration with building management systems. Nuage Lighting works with architects, engineers, and facility managers to specify durable fixtures, low-voltage indoor accents, and smart controls that perform reliably under heavy use.
Why Invest in Commercial Lighting?:
A well-planned lighting system does more than brighten a storefront. It draws customers, protects assets, and lowers operating costs. Benefits of Commercial Lighting:
- Strengthens Brand Presence: Consistent facade and signage lighting keeps your property visible in busy corridors such as Sainte-Catherine Street and Boulevard Décarie.
- Improves Customer Experience: Thoughtful, glare-free illumination in parking lots, walkways, and entry zones helps visitors feel safe at any hour.
- Supports Security and Compliance: Adequate lighting deters trespassing and meets municipal requirements for public safety and accessibility.
- Reduces Operating Costs: High-efficiency LEDs paired with astrological timers and photo-cell controls cut energy use and maintenance time.
- Creates Cohesive Indoor-Outdoor Environments: Exterior and low-voltage interior systems can be managed from the same control platform for seamless scheduling and scene changes.
Our Montreal Commercial Lighting Services Include:
- Facade & Signage Illumination: Linear wall washers and narrow-beam spotlights highlight architectural details and branded graphics without over-lighting surrounding areas.
- Parking Lot & Perimeter Lighting: Pole-mounted luminaires and wall packs provide uniform coverage, reduce shadows, and meet recommended light levels for vehicle and pedestrian safety.
- Pathway & Stair Lighting: Embedded step lights, bollards, and canopy fixtures define safe routes for customers and staff, preventing slips and trips.
- Entrance & Canopy Lighting: Recessed or surface-mounted fixtures cast wide pools of light over doorways, loading docks, and drive-thrus, improving visibility and first impressions.
- Display & Accent Lighting: Adjustable spotlights and track systems direct attention to window displays, architectural focal points, and outdoor merchandising.
- Indoor Low-Voltage Integration: We coordinate with electricians to add under-shelf LEDs, cove lighting, and feature lighting that align with exterior schedules and scenes.
Every project begins with a site assessment and review of existing electrical plans. When plans are unavailable, we generate complete lighting layouts and fixture schedules. All exterior products meet IP65 or higher for year-round durability.

Built for Montreal’s Climate
Cold-Rated Fixtures
All lighting components are rated IP65 or higher for resistance to snow, ice, and rain.
Astrological Timers
Timers that adjust automatically to sunrise and sunset times throughout the year. These are ideal for homeowners who want consistent lighting performance without seasonal adjustments.
High-Efficiency LEDs
Our systems use low-voltage LEDs with color temperatures that match the tones of stone, foliage, and wood.
Smart Controls
App-based lighting controls allow for remote activation, scheduling, and scene changes from a phone or tablet.
