Basic Knowledge Of Restaurant Lighting Design

February 14, 2023

Successful restaurant designs have one thing in common, that is, they are very particular about lighting design. Lighting design can enhance the appearance of the restaurant, stimulate customers' appetite and consumption. However, most catering campers still ignore the importance of lighting to the atmosphere of bars and restaurants. They think that lamps and lanterns are only basic lighting tools, and the design focus of dining space should focus on space layout, hard decoration and soft decoration, rather than lighting design. In fact, lighting has always been a part of the dining space design, and it should have both aesthetic and practical design principles. But lighting design is a science. It is definitely not an easy task to fully understand the light source and various types of lamps. In order to help the restaurant campers quickly understand the key points of the lighting design of the restaurant in order to use the lighting reasonably, the following points of knowledge are summarized:

Restaurant lighting falls into three main categories: ambient lighting, task lighting, and focal point lighting. Each light type serves a different purpose

Ambient Lighting - Its main role is to provide overall lighting, comfort and uniform illumination to the restaurant. Ambient light can refer to natural light from windows, or it can be light fixtures in a dining room such as pendant lights, ceiling or wall-mounted light fixtures, etc.

Task Lighting - It is guiding/directional lighting that guides customers and staff through light to accomplish specific tasks, it is also a method of getting customer attention such as: reading menus, cooking in the kitchen and distinguishing areas (restrooms, staff aisles )etc.

Focal Lighting - It can create an eye-catching focal point for a dining room. Focal lighting is often used to highlight specific items such as: artistic sculptures, hanging pictures, bookcases, distinctive wall textures or other architectural features, etc. Restaurants generally use track lights where there is a need for accent lighting.

Decorative Lighting - Like jewellery, decorative lighting is not a necessity, but it can be an added visual treat and a finishing touch.

The purpose of lighting design is not only for lighting, but also to illuminate comfort and beauty, so as to effectively set off the theme of the restaurant, attract more customers to enter the store and create an unforgettable dining experience.
