The selection and arrangement of restaurant decoration lighting are the key factors in creating a comfortable dining environment. Below we will introduce in detail the issues that should be paid attention to in restaurant decoration lighting and how to choose the right lighting from the following aspects.
3 types of LED lamps available for the dining room
1. Chandeliers and LED Linear Lights
Chandeliers and LED linear lights are common lighting choices for dining rooms. They hang above the dining table and become the visual focus of the space. Choosing simple lines and not overly complicated designs can achieve an effect that is both atmospheric and light.
2. LED Ceiling Lights
Ceiling lights are suitable for restaurants with low heights. They are close to the ceiling to avoid a sense of oppression. Simple round or square designs, as well as hidden light troughs, can provide uniform light without damaging the sense of atmosphere.
3. LED Track Lights and LED Spotlights
Track lights and spotlights are more flexible and can adjust the direction and area of lighting as needed. Simple tracks and modern spotlight head designs are suitable for modern minimalist restaurants.
In real life, compared with track lights, downlights and ceiling lights, most people choose chandeliers for dining lights, so let's discuss the factors to consider when choosing restaurant chandeliers.
4 factors need to be considered when choosing LED pendant lights
1 Size of dining pendant lamp
The size of dining pendant lamp needs to be determined according to the actual size of the dining table, so it is the correct order to choose the dining pendant lamp after determining the dining table.
Rectangular dining table
Diameter of single round pendant lamp = length of dining table * 1/3
Diameter of single lamp in multi-lamp combination = length of dining table / number of lamps * 1/3
Length of long strip pendant lamp = length of dining table * 3/5~length of dining table * 4/5
Round dining table
Diameter of a single round chandelier = diameter of dining table * 1/3 ~ diameter of dining table * 1/2
In addition to considering the size of the dining table, the size of the restaurant chandelier should also be determined in combination with the size of the restaurant area. Do not choose a large chandelier for a small restaurant, otherwise the space will appear very depressing.
02 Style of dining chandelier
The style of the restaurant chandelier needs to comprehensively consider the home decoration style, dining table style and the owner's preferences.
For example, the Nordic minimalist home decoration style is suitable for restaurant chandeliers with simple and elegant shapes and not too fancy;
For example, the Chinese retro home decoration style is suitable for antique and classical restaurant chandeliers;
For example, the modern light luxury home decoration style is suitable for uniquely designed and fashionable restaurant chandeliers;
And the cream log home decoration style is suitable for restaurant chandeliers with wood elements and natural elegance.
Different home decoration styles are matched with different restaurant chandeliers to achieve the harmonious beauty of lights and space.
03 Color temperature and CRI of dining pendant lights
The color temperature of the dining pendant lights needs to be consistent with the color temperature of other lamps in the restaurant to avoid the problem of messy light colors. It is recommended that the color temperature of the dining lamps be unified between 3000K and 3500K. The warmer tones can not only increase the attractive luster of the food and improve appetite, but also create a warm and romantic atmosphere.
The color rendering index is the ability of light to restore the true color of an object. The closer the value is to the natural light color rendering index of 100, the stronger the ability of the light to restore the color of the object. The color rendering index of the restaurant chandelier must be ≥90 to ensure that the light can truly restore the color of the food.
04 Installation distance of dining chandelier
Whether it is a single lamp or a combination of multiple lamps, the installation position of the restaurant chandelier is determined by the position of the dining table. It is not simply installed in the center of the dining room. The position of the dining table needs to be determined in advance, and the position of the restaurant chandelier needs to be reserved. A 15cm position should be left on both sides of the long dining table, which is more visually coordinated and beautiful.
The restaurant chandelier should be hung above the eyes to avoid blocking the line of sight or causing glare. The bottom edge of the chandelier should be about 80cm away from the tabletop, which can provide effective lighting without hindering normal activities when in use. In addition to the chandelier with a fixed height, you can also choose a restaurant chandelier with an adjustable hanging wire length, which can adjust the height of the lamp according to the specific usage.
When combining multiple dining room chandeliers, the distance between each chandelier should also be considered. The recommended distance between the lamps is 35~50cm to ensure that the light can evenly illuminate the entire dining table.
The selection and arrangement of dining lighting is a key factor in creating a comfortable dining environment. When choosing lighting, you should make comprehensive considerations based on the actual situation and needs of the restaurant, and pay attention to factors such as light type, light intensity, light color temperature, light layout, and energy saving and environmental protection. Only in this way can you create a warm, comfortable and bright dining environment.
