What should be paid attention to in the lighting design of kitchen and dining room?

The kitchen is the place where every housewife (house husband) goes in and out every day, and the dining room is also a place where the family gathers and chats. Therefore, the lighting design of the two also requires some thought. In this article, the editor of Sinuo Lighting will discuss with you some matters that need to be paid attention to in the lighting design of kitchen and dining room.

 Points for attention in restaurant lighting design

The focus of the restaurant lighting design is to make the meals on the table look full and true in color, so that the faces of the diners are soft and natural. It is suitable to choose restaurant chandeliers with a light source color rendering of 85 or more, warm light, and glare control. The height of the chandelier is 70-80 cm higher than the tabletop, so don’t block the other party’s sight, the effect of the light hitting the face is better. Setting up low-level local lighting around the dining room can add a bit of relaxed and convivial atmosphere to the room. If you sometimes do some activities on the dining table that require high illumination such as handwriting and handicrafts, you can choose a dimmable light source for the main light of the restaurant or increase the lighting of the work light.

 Choose the number of lamp heads according to the length of the dining table and the shape of the lamp, which can provide lighting, and at the same time, the lamp itself can bring a little vitality to the room.

Kitchen lighting design points for attention

Kitchen lighting design mainly includes lighting for countertop operation, lighting for items in cabinets, and lighting for cleaning the floor. The lighting for countertop operation uses a light source with a color rendering rate of 85 or higher, which can make the color of food more realistic.

The basic lighting of the kitchen aims to provide uniform brightness for the entire room. There are many options for lamps and lanterns. Pendant lamps, ceiling lamps, or downlights can be selected according to the overall style of the room and personal preferences. When choosing LED spotlights (light strips) for accent lighting, you need to consider the specific installation locations of light wires, connectors, transformers and switches. If there is no switch panel reserved for wall decoration, and you don't want a small switch on the light line, you can choose the switch method of hand sweeping, touch or induction.
