What kind of LED lighting holds up to commercial restaurant use?
What kind of LED lighting holds up to commercial restaurant use?
Restaurant lighting needs to handle long operating hours, heat, moisture, and frequent cleaning. Look for durable LED strip lights with high-quality components, proper heat management, and the right IP rating for the environment. Pairing strips with an aluminum extrusion channel improves heat dissipation and adds physical protection, while an IP65+ rated strip is the right call for splash-prone or wash-down areas.
How do I light an under-bar without glaring at customers?
How do I light an under-bar without glaring at customers?
Use low-profile LED strip lights installed out of direct sight, ideally with an aluminum channel and a frosted (diffused) lens to soften hot spots and hide individual diodes. Dotless LED strips paired with a frosted lens create smooth, glare-free illumination while highlighting the bar area.
What CRI rating do I need for food and beverage display?
What CRI rating do I need for food and beverage display?
A CRI of 90+ is recommended for food and beverage displays to show colors accurately and make products look their best. For premium applications, 95+ CRI provides even greater color accuracy. This is especially valuable for rendering the reds and warm tones in fresh food, produce, and plated dishes.
Can LED strip lights be installed in a commercial kitchen?
Can LED strip lights be installed in a commercial kitchen?
Yes. LED strip lights can be used in commercial kitchens when the product is selected for the environment. Consider heat, moisture, cleaning exposure, and choose the proper IP rating for the installation area. A sealed, higher-IP strip in an aluminum channel stands up best to grease and frequent cleaning.
How do I match lighting color across multiple restaurant locations?
How do I match lighting color across multiple restaurant locations?
Standardize your lighting specifications, including color temperature, CRI, LED products, and installation methods. Specifying strips with tight color binning (low MacAdam ellipse tolerance) keeps the white point consistent unit to unit, so a consistent lighting package maintains the same look and feel across every location.
What dimming options work for daypart transitions?
What dimming options work for daypart transitions?
LED lighting can support daypart transitions with options like PWM, 0-10V, wireless controls, or DMX systems. The right choice depends on how much control and automation your restaurant needs. 0-10V ties cleanly into commercial building controls, while DMX or wireless systems allow scene-based presets that shift automatically from bright daytime service to a dimmer evening ambiance.
