Retail Lighting Modernization with ATG

client Walmart
Location Mexico City, Mexico

Solution ATG LED Lighting DUO Direct Kit Gen 2 (ECDK)

Project Profile

By utilizing Power and CCT Selectable technology, retail managers can customize the lighting atmosphere to suit specific product departments—from warm, inviting grocery aisles to bright, high-clarity clothing displays—all while achieving long-term technical reliability.

The Challenges & Background

Retailers in major urban hubs like Mexico City often operate under aging fluorescent lighting systems that suffer from:

High Energy Consumption

Traditional troffers contribute significantly to high utility bills.

Maintenance Burden

Frequent bulb failures disrupt the shopping experience and increase labor costs.

Static Lighting Environments

Lack of flexibility in Color Correlated Temperature (CCT) prevents stores from optimizing light for different merchandise (e.g., warm light for produce vs. cool light for electronics).

The Solution

The ECDK Gen 2 is engineered as a Plug-and-Play doorframe retrofit kit that fits directly into existing ceiling grids.

Key features include:

Duo Selectable Technology

Wattage Selectability: Adjust between 20W/25W/30W for 2 x 2 models and 25W/30W/35W for 2 x 4 models to control brightness and energy use.
CCT Selectability: Field-adjustable settings for 3500K, 4000K, and 5000K allow for tailored atmospheres.

Advanced Controls

Options for BLE Mesh Control, PIR Occupancy Sensors, and Daylight Harvesting ensure lights are only active when needed, further maximizing ROI.

Retail-Ready Design

A low-profile, low-glare, and low-flicker classic design ensures customer comfort and product visibility.

Performance Specifications:

Results & Financial Impact

Atmospheric Control

Using the DIP switches on the driver box, store managers can switch a department's lighting from a neutral 4000K to a daylight 5000K to enhance color accuracy in apparel sections.

Labor Savings

The doorframe design and optional plug-and-play microwave sensors significantly reduce installation time compared to full fixture replacements.

Safety & Compliance

With cULus listing, Type IC rating for damp locations, and Emergency Backup options (e.g., EMH-08170-FY), the system meets rigorous safety standards for public commercial spaces.

Sustainability

The high efficacy (exceeding 140 LM/W in several configurations) aligns with modern green building initiatives and reduces the carbon footprint of the retail facility.

By deploying the ATG DUO Direct Kit Gen 2, retailers can modernize their physical infrastructure with minimal disruption. The combination of selectable performance and smart control compatibility makes the ECDK a future-proof investment for any high-volume retail environment.
