Last night I went into one of my favorite local beer stores and as I was grabbing something delicious from one of the display cases, I noticed the fluorescent lighting that sits hidden between each door. I've always known it was there, but have just never really thought about it before in relation to the possibility of leaving beer light struck.
So I got on here and searched around (and google) for a while and didn't really come up with anything specific, so I am wondering - is there an industry standard regarding lighting in retail stores? I read about window film, and found a manufacturer's website talking about lighting,

-but no real consensus on if there is really any focus from the retailers.
I did read mentions of proximity to lighting, the relatively low UV compared to direct sunlight, and product turnover, but would love to hear from anyone in the business if this is a concern that is taken into consideration.
