LED lighting for Restaurants

The correct lighting on a restaurant is very important at the time of having a good atmosphere and ambience for the client experience. The lights cause a very important impression on the customers. The restaurant needs to have good indoor lighting to create a welcoming and attractive environment for the clients or people who walk near the restaurant.

Work Zone (Kitchen)

For the work zone, it is important to have bright illumination to have good visibility of the space and the movements of the workers to have a safe space and also to have a good view of the freshness and presentation of the ingredients.

A good choice for this space is LED panel lights, tubes, or recessed lights to have a stable illumination.

An important attribute to have an eye on, is the CRI, the CRI refers to how accurately you see the colors with the light. Lights with high CRI (near 100) show the colour more real. These lights are perfect for places where you need to have clear illumination.


Service Area

This area is also a working area, so the workers need to have good visibility of the area. It is recommended to install lighting with a higher colour temperature and brightness, to distinguish colours better. Lights like tubes or panels are a good choice for this area, also LED strips or any light that lights a big surface with good brightness.

 

Dining and table area

For the dining area, we have also to have in mind the decorative aspect. Having different lights for walls, ceilings, or different areas of the area, using different bulbs, strips, colours…

Using the right color temperature make the space look great.

For coves, shelves, bars, windows… LED strips are a great choice for those places.

And inside the dining area, for table lighting it is very common to use pendant lights, and those lights are a great choice because of their beauty and also because with these lights you save a lot of space on the tables, achieving a better space for clients.

Outdoor

The outdoors of a restaurant must be well-illuminated to make people sure that it is open and to get people’s attention. This area reflects the style of the restaurant, it's recommended to have a coherence between the interior and the exterior of the restaurant, inviting pedestrians to come to the restaurant. There are lights for walls, and walkways that you can use to enhance your restaurant's attraction.


Different times of day

If the restaurant is open on different time periods, you should adjust the light depending on what time is and the weather or natural light.

Breakfast: For breakfast time, the light should be bright one, for the clients that need to wake up and do different daily activities like check mails, and messages… It is important to use as much natural light as possible because it is the best light for everything.

Lunch: At this time of the day, the lighting needs to be more moderate and less bright. But for fast food restaurants, it is better to have bright lighting to achieve a faster turnover and get customers in and out quicker.

Dinner: For dinner time the atmosphere should be relaxed, people want to have a relaxed dinner after a busy day, a good method to create the right atmosphere is to have dimmed lighting to make a comfortable space.
