Restaurant lighting for the perfect ambience

Booking a table at your favourite restaurant is something a lot of us love to do. Its a time to catch up, enjoy some delicious food, wind down and relax.     

The minute you walk through the door you immediately feel the ambience - The mood, temperature, music, decor, lighting - The atmosphere as a whole. 

Lighting can effect our mood, which is why it is so important to select the correct product for the success of your restaurant, it’s well worth spending the time to get it right -  You will undoubtedly want to give off a warm, feel good, lasting impression.   

Outside: 

First impressions go a long way.  You will want your restaurant to stand out from the crowd and attract diners. Outdoor lighting is key here. Illuminating pathways and highlighting features, such as signs and waterfalls play a huge role.  Outdoor lighting shouldn't be overlooked, it is just as important as your interior lighting. 

IP67 LED strip is weatherproof and can uplift the entrance to your restaurant incredibly.  We would recommend using a bright, dimmable strip, allowing you to adjust the brightness accordingly.  See Part number: LS24HB-120-WW-IP67 as an example.

Inside: 

Your restaurant will require different levels of brightness in each area.  This is where dimmer modules come into play.  You can set scenes and dim the strip  accordingly in these areas, all from the same wall controller. Highlight food menus in a brighter lit area; seating areas will want to feel warm, emitting lower tones for mood lighting with a relaxing feel; staircase areas & rest rooms will need to be sufficiently lit, along with bar areas. Select a good quality, bright & dimmable LED strip with warm or natural tones.  It is never advisable to sacrifice quality over cost - you do not want low quality, spotting and unreliable LED strip that is going to ruin the experience with nuisance flickering, poor quality appearance and early failure.    

Conclusion: 

To aid in the success of your restaurant, whether it’s casual or high-end fine dining, the lighting you provide for your diners wants to be safe, welcoming and comfortable.
