Regarding the selection and arrangement of restaurant lamps, the lamps used in the basic lighting of Chinese restaurants are mainly LED downlights and LED spotlights. The beam angles of the middle and wide angles are commonly used. Non-adjustable lamps are commonly used in aisles, and adjustable angles are often used to wash walls and illuminate decorations, while accent lighting in Chinese restaurants often use adjustable lamps. The beam angle is mostly mid-angle or narrow-angle, which can accurately illuminate the desktop There is a big difference between the desired location and whether there is accent lighting on the tabletop of a Chinese restaurant.

An important feature of LED downlights is the ability to express colors. This ability is called color rendering, and it is described by a professional parameter: color rendering index, the symbol is Ra. The highest color rendering index of the light source is 100. The higher the index, the better the color rendering performance and the higher the color reduction of the illuminated object.
Then for the color temperature of restaurant LED downlights, we usually see that the luminaire manufacturers label products with similar marking methods such as color rendering index Ra> 90 (R9> 50). Ra> 90 indicates that the color rendering of the luminaire is better than R1-R8. These 8 natural colors have a high degree of restoration. R9>50 indicates that the lamp has a good color restoration ability for red objects.
The expression of dishes is inseparable from the assistance of high color rendering index lights. Obviously, a color rendering index greater than 90 can better express the quality of the dishes and increase the appetite of the diners. The quality of the lighting is very important for both Chinese and Western restaurants. The recommended color temperature for Chinese restaurants is 3000-3500k, and the recommended color temperature for Western restaurants is 2700-3000k. If you want the dishes to look better, then the restoration of the colors is very important.
