How to design lighting for a dining room?

Eating is a very enjoyable thing. Good light can create a beautiful and delicious feeling for food.

Dining room design idea- Local lighting

The dining room lighting design is based on local lighting. The lamp directly above the table is the focus of the light. It enhances the aesthetics of the overall decoration and can also produce a candle-like effect when dimming. Choose under hood type, multi-head type, combined type luminaire. The shape of the lamps and the overall decoration style of the restaurant should be consistent with the bright, soft and natural illumination requirements required by the restaurant atmosphere. It is not suitable to use up-lighting lamps, because this does not match the vision when dining. For easy scrubbing, the restaurant should use glass, plastic or metal smooth lampshades. Would not use woven or yarn fabric lampshades or lampshades with complicated shapes and pendants.As for light source it is better to choose some candelabra Light Bulbs with e12 base for the lamps,if you feel hard to choose between daylight or warm white bulbs you can order a smart e12 led bulbs with tunable white or RGB+white bulbs,lohasled e12 light bulbs wifi rgb is a nice choose.

Dining room design idea—Auxiliary lights set the environment

Auxiliary lighting is also important to complement the restaurant’s atmosphere. Such as setting up lighting in restaurant furniture (cabinet, etc.), local lighting for artworks and decorations, and using wall lamps to paint wall materials and colors separately. The use of auxiliary lights is not mainly for lighting, but to illuminate the environment with light and shadow effects. Therefore, the brightness is lower than the light on the dining table. Under the premise of highlighting the main light source, the arrangement of light and shadow should be orderly and not disorderly. It is only possible to highlight the area you want to emphasize by reducing the light intensity of some parts appropriately.

Dining room design idea——Warm light

White light is the easiest to control and grasp, but white light is the simplest, so it is difficult to produce an effect. May wish to use warm colors: First, warm colors also make people closer to each other; second, most dishes are warm colors. Warm-colored dishes do not deviate from their natural colors under warm-light light; in the third place, the utensils used are different. But the common point is that they reflect cleanliness. Warm light on the tableware can make the tableware look bright and clean, but it will not make people feel cold and bring appetite.

Restaurant lighting, select chandeliers, hoods, set the center of the table, about 60-85 from the table, the height is too high, the light diverges, loses the convergence effect, the chandeliers can create a warmer dining atmosphere for the members, the focused light can enhance the color , More appetite, led bulbs, color temperature 3000k, do not use the dim blue light bulb with a color temperature of 6,500k, the color rendering index is greater than 90, on the table we generally use accent lighting to emphasize and highlight the dishes, so that the dishes are illuminated by the light More attractive, so the color rendering of table lighting is particularly important, it is recommended to choose spot lights with Ra≥90 or more. The decorative lighting mainly uses exquisite wall lamps, lanterns and floor lamps. Of course, the most important thing is to remember to choose good anti-glare lamps. In terms of illuminance, the general illuminance of the space is suggested to be 50-100Lx, and the accent lighting is 300-500Lx.
