Restaurants
Lighting for areas where people eat is primarily mood lighting. But it also needs to ensure that guests can find their way around and conduct conversations at the table while facing in any direction.
The kind of artificial lighting required for a restaurant depends primarily on the style of the establishment.
The range of conceivable lighting moods is endless – from glaring brightness to intimate candlelight. The important thing is that the atmosphere should suit the architectural surroundings, ensure that food is clearly presented and looks attractive, and that visual conditions at the table are right for conversation.
The level of brightness selected then determines the degree of intimacy for diners.
And all these priorities need to be addressed by lighting compatible with the catering concept of the house.
