The invention provides a lighting system (1) comprising a lighting device (100) configured to provide lighting device light (101) with a variable spectral distribution (SD), wherein the lighting system (1) comprises a control system configured to control the spectral distribution (SD) of the lighting device light (101), wherein the lighting device (1) comprises at least two lighting modes (M1,M2), wherein: 5 (i) in a first lighting mode (M1) the lighting device (1) is configured to provide white light (101) with a first spectral distribution (SD1) in the visible with a first spectral intensity P1, the first spectral distribution (SD1) having a spectral intensity gap (G) configured in the spectral range of 430-600 nm, the spectral intensity gap (G) having a spectral gap width (GW1) of at least 20 nm and a maximum spectral gap intensity PG1 of lighting device light (101) within the spectral intensity gap (G) of PG1/P1≤k, wherein k is a predefined intensity ratio value, and (ii) in a second lighting mode (M2) the lighting device (1) is configured to provide white light (101) with a second spectral distribution (SD2) with a second spectral intensity P2, with a relatively enhanced intensity P2* of the lighting device light (101) in the same spectral range of the spectral intensity gap (G) of the first lighting mode, wherein P2*/P2>k.
Illumination system
[Problem] To provide an illumination system with which a visual effect is provided such that it is possible to give an appearance of expanding depth on the far side of a wall face, even if a person stands directly in front thereof. [Solution] An illumination system (100) comprises a light source (130), and a reflection board (120) that provides a reflection face that reflects illumination light from the light source (130). The reflection lace of the reflection board (120) is a processed reflection face in which are disposed a plurality of grooves which are very narrow parallel straight lines or parallel curved lines with respect to a flat plane. A support body (110) supports the light source (130) facing and in close proximity to the processed reflection board of the reflection board (120). Light points appear, arranged perpendicularly in the center of the reflection board (120) facing the light source. The formation locations of virtual images of each of the light points are formed further in the depth direction from the processed reflection board the further apart they are vertically, and thus a viewer has the sense of viewing a light beam track which is formed when a horizontal plane, which seemingly expands horizontally in the depth of the wall face, is illuminated, and has the sense of viewing an expanding space in the depth direction of the wall face.
LED lighting system for heated enclosure
An enclosure or display cabinet for displaying heated objects (such as a food display module or container) using heat-sensitive lighting is disclosed herein. The heat-sensitive lighting may be, for example, an LED lighting unit. LED lighting is inefficient and tends to degrade or fail when operating at higher temperatures. However, LED lighting may be preferred as it is typically more energy efficient than other lighting options (such as incandescent bulbs). The lighting unit includes a thermally insulated space, shelf, or gap for housing the lighting and a system for reducing heat generated by the display or the lighting unit.

WHITE LIGHT SOURCE AND WHITE LIGHT SOURCE SYSTEM
There is provided a white light source approximating sunlight and being capable of reproducing a subtle difference in sunlight which changes depending on times and locations, and provided a white light source system of a lighting system or the like. The white light source includes a light source unit. Light which is emitted from the light source unit is a chromaticity point on a CIE chromaticity diagram and has a correlated color temperature corresponding to a chromaticity point including a deviation of −0.005 or more to +0.005 or less with respect to a black body radiation locus, and satisfies a formula: −0.2≦[(P (λ)×V (λ))/(P (λmax1)×V (λmax1))−(B (λ)×V (λ))/(B (λmax2)×V (λmax2))]≦+0.2.
Illuminating display window and merchandiser display unit comprising same
An illuminating display window has a window pane and a graphic element including fluorescent material. The graphic element has a major surface facing forward and a perimeter surface extending transverse to the major surface. An electromagnetic radiation source is configured to emit electromagnetic radiation to the perimeter surface of the graphic element. The radiation includes electromagnetic radiation having a wavelength in a non-visible spectrum. The graphic element fluoresces in response to the non-visible radiation to transmit visible light to an observer in front of the window pane. To form the graphic element, fluorescent ink can be deposited on a panel in a predefined pattern or a fluorescent panel could be shaped to have a predefined shape.
MIRROR DISPLAY ASSEMBLY AND RETAIL DISPLAY SYSTEM
A retail display system is provided with a point-of-sale display unit sized to be received in a retail store aisle. A first and a second plurality of mirror panes are oriented within the display unit, which are formed from different material compositions. A mirror display assembly is provided with samples from the first and second pluralities of mirror panes to visually demonstrate the material composition difference between the first plurality of mirror panes and the second plurality of mirror panes. The mirror display assembly is provided with a support with a base. An image surface is mounted upon the base. A first sample mirror pane is mounted to the support and oriented at an angle relative to the image surface to reflect the image surface. A second sample mirror pane is mounted to the support and oriented at an angle relative to the image surface to reflect the image surface.
