Staged to the best taste
The restaurant and bar are a hotel’s culinary soul that offer unique moments of enjoyment. How
comfortable guests feel and whether they would like to return or recommend the location to
others is significantly influenced by the lighting. It rounds off a restaurant’s or bar’s concept,
creates ambience, and makes food or signature drinks look particularly appealing.
Appetisingly presenting food with the right light has been important since before the trend to-
wards fine dining. It is determined by both brightness and the right light colour. Luminaires with
a high colour rendering value (CRI ≥ 90) and warm light colours around 3000 K present dishes
tastefully and authentically, and also add colour and structural depth to interior design.
Individually programmed lighting scenarios structure a room and create a feeling of privacy
at each table. Pendant luminaires above the tables illuminate dishes and faces and let the
surroundings fade into the background. This "observer effect" enhances the feeling of intimacy
and promotes interaction. The precise light points of the JUST 32 FOCUS spotlights ideally
illuminate food. Illuminated walls have an additional relaxing effect and increase the time spent
in the restaurant.
Luminaires with Colour Warm Dimming technology can be dimmed depending on the time of
day to create different lighting conditions for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. This applies to the
lighting at the bar, where you can have your morning coffee or wind down for the evening.
Variable brightness levels and light colours subtly create ambience and give the same rooms an
everchanging character.
Recommendations
• Higher colour rendering of CRI ≥ 90 for an appealing
presentation of dishes
• Warm light colours (2700 K / 3000 K) for a pleasant
lighting ambience
• Mixture of accentuated and indirect light
• Different lighting moods via controlled lighting scenes
for different uses of a room
• Use of daylight for greater well-being and energy saving
