John Lewis continued with their refurbishment of their beauty departments by again utilising the new sleek style ultra slim Katana light box with the flat aluminium frame in their flag ship store in Oxford Street. The importance of the lighting, adaptability and ease of use is paramount to the continued use of these ultra thin light boxes. The lighting effect given by the light boxes with their neutral T5 fluorescent tubes has been much preferred to cold cathode and LED alternatives where the light was found to be too cold. The adaptability of the light boxes was important as they needed to be fitted to showcases and merchandising displays which would not allow for a deeper light box. John Lewis wanted their staff to be able to change the graphics with the minimum of fuss; the simple snap frame profile enables the quick and easy change of visuals.
