How to design restaurant lighting
When installing and designing various lighting fixtures in the restaurant, you must choose various types of lighting equipment that suit the needs of the restaurant according to the specific conditions of the interior decoration of the restaurant.
There are many types of lighting in general restaurants, such as candlelight, sun light, ceiling light, spotlight, energy-saving lamp, color light and so on. Due to the different lighting parts, it can be divided into indoor lighting (top lights, wall lights, bar lamps, etc.) and outdoor lighting (red hanging lights, neon lights, color spray advertising lights, etc.). Among them, the color, brightness and dynamic effects of lighting play a very important role in the dining environment, dining atmosphere and the feeling of customers during the meal.
Indoor lighting
The indoor lighting of the restaurant is divided into natural light and indoor lighting. Generally, restaurants without natural light conditions need to use light for lighting during the day. For more elaborate restaurants, chandelier is installed in the hall. Whether it is high-grade crystal lamp or ceiling lamp, it makes the restaurant feel elegant and magnificent, but the cost is indeed considerable. And most small and medium-sized restaurants are suitable to install combined fluorescent lamps, which are economical and durable, with soft and moderate light, so that customers feel comfortable when dining.
Some mid-range restaurants or fast-food restaurants also install energy-saving lamps as ceiling lighting, commonly known as "Gypsophila". Experience has proved that this kind of lamp is cool in color, its cost is not low, its quality is poor, and its use effect is not optimal. Especially in the cold winter, customers will feel gloomy and cold when dining in this environment, and the light of this hue will lose its true color when it shines on the dishes. The original brightly colored dishes will suddenly become gray and turbid, and it is difficult to achieve high-grade, so energy-saving lamps are not acceptable. Pick.
In addition, the intensity of indoor lighting will have different effects on dining customers. Generally, eating in dimly lit places makes people feel less energetic and makes the dining time longer. The bright light is refreshing and excites the mood when eating. Chewing with big mouthfuls helps digestion and absorption, thereby reducing the meal time.
Outdoor lighting
Outdoor lighting mainly refers to the lighting of the external environment of restaurants such as facades and billboards. Through outdoor lighting of restaurants, consumers can see the name of the restaurant (store name), the main content of the business, and its characteristics at a glance. Without the lighting effects in restaurant operations, it will be difficult to attract more guests, and it will inevitably affect the economic benefits of the company.
There is a common saying in Beijing shopping malls: "Watch the lights at night under the guise of the day", which means that the operation during the day depends on the signs, and the operation at night depends on the brightness of the lights to attract customers. This is also a way of doing business and a talk of experience.
Generally, outdoor lighting uses different methods, including spotlights, jumping lights (commonly known as teasing you), pattern lights, neon lights, and all kinds of lanterns. Especially the big red lanterns are even more festive and peaceful during the festival. Hanging red lanterns on weekdays is warm and grand from a distance. It is a traditional national artwork that attracts customers. The neon lights, especially the brake type, are more colorful, red, red, green and green.
In short, reasonable outdoor lighting in restaurants not only shows an important symbol of the enterprise, but also improves the grade of the enterprise. More importantly, it allows customers to increase their attention to restaurants, attract more customers, and create better economic benefits.
