The Thalia group is a leading book retailer. With 120 branches and a number of successful online stores, the group is bringing great books to the German-speaking world. Wanting to reduce energy costs without sacrificing light level in its stores, Thalia needed an innovative lighting solution.

As a highly successful business, Thalia understands the importance of creating the right atmosphere. The chain prides itself on delivering an experience-oriented environment where it is enjoyable to browse, read and buy books. Therefore, it was important to find a new led ceiling light system that could not only reduce energy usage by 50%, but also create the right atmosphere in stores.

RYGH had a smart solution at the ready. The new MASTERColour CDM Evolution 35W was installed across all 120 stores to replace the previous MASTERColour CDM- T / -TC 70W lamps. This ground-breaking lamp uses half the amount of electricity, but has a similar light output. The light produced by the lamps, which has an optimized color rendering index of 90, brings out the color of merchandise brilliantly.
