were employed by Crystal Cruises International to design the lighting
to the newly refurbished shops on the Crystal Symphony. The brief was
that these shops should be of the same standard of design and presentation

combined with carefully aimed frontlighting. Low voltage tungsten halogen
spotlights were used to ensure accurate rendition of the colours of
the product. The luminaires were positioned with care to avoid causing
discomfort glare to customers, and some time was taken on board to aim
them optimally for the displays.
