Lighting Design – Restaurant Illumination and Color Temperature Use and Sharing

Fourth, the rational use of illumination and color temperature

Generally speaking, the lamps for ambient lighting can be directly installed in the ceiling, the illuminance is controlled at about 100lx, and the illuminance on the dining table needs to reach 200lx-450lx, forming key area lighting. In order to make food and meals realistic and attractive, high CRI should be used. of the light source. In a warm lighting environment with a high Ra value, the dishes appear fresher and more attractive than in the sunshine.
Restaurants usually choose lights with a color temperature of 2700-3500K, which will look warm and comfortable. The color temperature of the light is different, and the subjective feeling brought to the consumer is also completely different. In a conventional sense, there are the following rules.
● Warm color light (color temperature below 3000K), similar to incandescent light color, with more red light components, can give people a warm, healthy and comfortable feeling, mainly used in hotels, western restaurants, coffee shops, etc. to let people rest and relax leisure place.
● Intermediate color (color temperature is 3000～5000K), the light is soft, giving a pleasant, comfortable and serene feeling, mainly used in fast food restaurants.
● Cool color light (color temperature above 5000K), the light source is close to natural light, and the bright feeling can make people concentrate. Usually restaurants do not choose this kind of light, and cool light is mainly used in offices, hospitals, studios and other places that require concentrated work.
