How to illuminate a restaurant kitchen?

The same rule applies to LED kitchen lighting in restaurants, dining halls or caterers: the light sources must be large enough and powerful enough to allow the team to work in the best conditions. However, you should be aware of the protection rating of LED lighting for the professional kitchen, since the water vapor is dense while the surface cleaning is carried out with large water. The luminaires that will constitute the LED lighting in the kitchen must thus benefit from a rating, that is to say, be sealed to the jets of liquid. Any lamp that may be sprayed with water, such as that which illuminates the sink for example, or that which is located along with the cupboards sheltering the dishwasher, must have at least a degree of protection.

Which LED lighting color for the kitchen to choose?

For any functional zone, choose the neutral white whose temperature is between 3,500 and 5,500 ° Kelvin. In addition, choose a color rendering index close to 100 for a faithful rendering of the color of your food and to guarantee you optimal visual comfort. Warm color temperature will be suitable for accent lighting and for dining area lighting. In this case, make sure that your kitchen LED lighting has a temperature between 2,700 and 3,500 ° K.

The types of lighting that can make up your kitchen lighting

The LED strip

With a length of between 120 and 150 cm, the LED strip often provides the main lighting for your kitchen. It can be fixed to the ceiling or suspended if the ceiling is high or if you want it to provide lighting that envelops the entire surface. The ruler is powerful, a model of 48 Watts emitting a flow of 4800 lumens, while a model of 60 Watts has an average light output of nearly 6000 lumens. You can also choose to attach the LED neon strip above your sink or worktop.

LED neon

Known for its exceptional longevity (around 40,000 hours), the neon LED also has a high light output while being economical. The LED tube diffuses clear lighting and assures you excellent visual comfort. Its installation is very easy, which is one of the reasons for its success with households and professionals. Integrating very easily with any style of decoration and furniture, it is ideal to light your pantry.

LED suspension

The LED pendant light illuminates your kitchen and decorates it with its original design. It often supports an LED bulb, so choose a dimmable model equipped with a dimmer. You will be able to modulate the intensity of the LED lighting in the kitchen according to the atmosphere you want to create. Most of the pendant lighting models have strong decorative value, create a modern atmosphere and bring the industrial touch and more.

LED ceiling light or LED spotlight

The LED ceiling light is ideal for diffusing a bright and direct light in a small kitchen. Then complete your lighting with garlands to decorate your room. The recessed LED spotlight on the ceiling is also a good ceiling light. It is modern and for good brightness, you can place several rows of spots along with your ceiling.
