The restaurant in Kassel was extensively renovated in order to
give the slogan “Nordsee. The alternative” added impetus. In the
course of interior refurbishment, the lighting too was completely
modernised.
Appetising efficiency
The entire restaurant was converted to LED, and colour temperature
in the dining area are inspired by the model that is provided by nature.
The lighting control system was commissioned by Zumtobel Service,
who also familiarised staff with the innovative lighting concept and
showed them how to operate it.
Lighting control strategies
From a lighting viewpoint, morning starts by simply turning a central
key-operated switch. The right light and high illuminance levels for
restaurant prep work are immediately available. For diners, the day
gets off to a start with warm colour temperatures reminiscent of the
rising sun. At midday the restaurant is bathed in gleaming, cool
light. In the evening, the EMOTION lighting control system paints a
marine sunset scene: reddish hues invite diners to savour their
evening meal at leisure. Recessed LED luminaires and LED light
coves provide refreshing accent lighting regardless of the time of
day. In kitchen areas, brightness levels rather than the light colour
of the general lighting are changed to suit the best lighting situation
for any particular task. The LUXMATE EMOTION lighting control
system thus combines the benefits of LEDs, which include, among
other advantages, low heat emission and therefore reduced ex-
penditure on food refrigeration, with excellent hospitality. Operating
convenience can also be taken for granted when using EMOTION.
When the restaurant closes in the evening, turning the key-operated
switch illuminates the restaurant in a red light which matches the
firm’s corporate design.
