Lighting for restaurants:
importance and features
The guest room is the heart of every restaurant. Here, guests should feel comfortable to the fullest extent and enjoy their meal. Apart from outstanding cuisine, a well-balanced lighting concept can contribute to a pleasant atmosphere and flawless staging of the food served. Thus, in addition to brightness, the lighting in the catering trade should above all ensure a comfortable ambience.
What types of luminaires are suitable for the gastronomy?
Among the most popular and effective types of luminaires for restaurant facilities are pendant luminaires. They are usually placed above tables or the bar, where they create a punctual lighting effect. Also suitable are ring lights, ceiling lights and indirect lighting sources.
