Ultra LEDs has supported NEXT for many years, delivering lighting systems across large-scale seasonal retail rollouts throughout its store network.
For the Summer 2026 campaign, NEXT introduced sculptural floral retail displays installed across more than 350 stores. With the same concept being rolled out at this scale, the lighting needed to fit cleanly within the bespoke floral joinery while being quick and straightforward to install from store to store.
Ultra LEDs supplied a custom-length Tagra Connect (formerly Syndeo) lighting system, tailored specifically to the dimensions of the floral display structures. This allowed the same illuminated finish to be recreated consistently across more than 350 NEXT stores.
The Summer 2026 campaign centred around oversized illuminated floral structures designed to create a strong visual focal point throughout NEXT retail environments. The layered flower forms introduced depth, texture and scale within the displays while helping define key retail feature areas across the stores.
Lighting was integrated directly into the floral structures, bringing out the different layers, curves and textures across the displays. The warm illumination added another dimension to the flowers while keeping the overall finish soft and refined.
With the lighting concealed within the structures, the focus remains on the illuminated floral forms themselves, with a continuous output and no visible hotspots across the display.
For a rollout across more than 350 stores, the lighting needed to look right, but it also needed to be practical to install at scale.
Ultra LEDs supplied a bespoke custom-length Tagra Connect system, previously known as Syndeo, designed specifically around the floral display dimensions. Each length was prepared around the requirements of the displays, reducing the amount of preparation required during installation and making the setup easier to repeat across each store.
Tagra Connect allowed the lighting to connect directly into compatible drivers, reducing the need for additional wiring and soldering between the lighting and driver. For a rollout of this size, that made the installation much simpler to repeat from one location to the next.
With installations taking place across more than 350 stores, installation efficiency and repeatability were essential to the success of the campaign.
Tagra Connect, previously known as Syndeo, enabled quick and consistent connections throughout each installation, reducing on-site complexity and helping installers replicate the same setup across hundreds of stores.
The custom-length lighting approach also improved installation accuracy across the floral structures, ensuring visual consistency throughout every location while maintaining the clean presentation required within the retail environment.
The completed displays delivered a soft, continuous illuminated effect throughout the floral installations, helping enhance product presentation while maintaining a clean and consistent retail standard across the campaign.
Building the lighting into the bespoke floral structures created a much more considered finish, with the illumination becoming part of the display rather than being treated as a separate element.
The Summer 2026 rollout continues a long-standing partnership between Ultra LEDs and NEXT, with Ultra LEDs supporting the installation of bespoke lighting across more than 350 stores for one of NEXT’s major seasonal campaigns.
NEXT required a lighting partner capable of supporting large-scale seasonal retail rollouts while maintaining installation efficiency and visual consistency across every store.
Having supported NEXT across multiple retail campaigns, Ultra LEDs supplied a bespoke Tagra Connect lighting system built around the requirements of the Summer 2026 floral displays and the scale of a 350+ store rollout.
From retail displays to office installations and cabinetry projects, Ultra LEDs supplies LED lighting systems to support the next specification.
