Decathlon Store LED Lighting Upgrade – Indonesia
Project Overview
FusionBrite partnered with Decathlon Indonesia to upgrade the lighting systems across multiple retail locations in Jakarta. The project focused on replacing outdated metal halide and fluorescent fixtures with high‑performance linear LED track lighting, delivering superior colour accuracy and significant energy savings.
Key Result: 55% reduction in energy consumption with improved shopper engagement.
Background
Decathlon, one of the world’s largest sporting goods retailers, operates numerous high‑traffic stores throughout Indonesia. Prior to the upgrade, stores relied on:
- 400W metal halide track lights
- T8 fluorescent battens
- Halogen downlights in fitting rooms
These systems created several operational challenges:
- Poor colour rendering (CRI ~65)
- High heat output increasing cooling loads
- Frequent lamp replacements due to short lifespans
- Uneven illumination across product zones
Challenge
The lighting upgrade needed to address four core constraints:
- Visual Merchandising – Accurate colour rendering for apparel, footwear, and equipment.
- Energy Efficiency – Reduce electricity consumption in a high‑humidity tropical climate.
- Flexibility – Support frequent store layout changes and seasonal displays.
- Maintenance Reduction – Minimize disruptions in busy retail environments.
Solution
FusionBrite designed and installed a high‑CRI linear LED track lighting system, engineered specifically for sports retail environments.
Products Installed
- 320+ Linear LED Track Fixtures
- CRI > 90 for true‑to‑life colour reproduction
- 4000K neutral white for balanced visual comfort
- Adjustable beam angles (30°–60°) for accent and general lighting
- Recessed LED Panels
- Installed in fitting rooms and checkout zones
- Uniform 500 lux illumination
- Smart Lighting Controls
- Daylight harvesting in perimeter zones
- Occupancy sensors in low‑traffic areas
Technical Highlights
- Thermal Management – Optimized heat dissipation for Indonesia’s tropical humidity.
- Optical Design – Asymmetric lenses to eliminate glare on vertical merchandise walls.
- Modular System – Track‑mounted fixtures allow rapid repositioning during seasonal resets.
