Commercial & Retail Space Lighting

Nuage Lighting designs and installs exterior lighting systems that help businesses stand out, stay secure, and save energy. From flagship boutiques in the Old Port to office towers in Downtown Montreal, our projects balance brand visibility with code-compliant safety and efficiency.

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.
