In the busy modern life, the way to enjoy food is not just cooking at home; more and more people choose to eat in the restaurant. At this moment, it is very important to provide a restaurant with comfortable and pleasant service!Here we are not to be a food expert to recommend local food to you. Many people say that eating is not only focused on delicious food, but also concentrated on the environment around. During this, the lights are great contributors. Relationship between restaurant and lightingFirst of all, let’s talk about the relationship between the restaurant and the lighting: the lights of different color temperatures will create different eating environments and will make differences in the indoor atmosphere.A good lighting environment can show the unique nature and taste of the restaurant, and the carefully designed lighting effect highlights the quality of food, thus improving the appetite of customers. This is why the lighting design of the restaurant directly affects the business.What's the difference between a commercial restaurant and a dining room at home? The reason is that they are different in nature. The dining room at home is just for the comfort of eating, with a focus just on the light of the table. By contrast, the value of the commercial restaurant lies in providing food and services. How can lighting help restaurants realize their value better?  Let's take a look at the layout of the restaurant. 1. Entrance2. Dining lobby3. Booths/ private rooms4. Seats by the window5. Open kitchen1. EntranceThe lighting at the entrance of the restaurant needs to be attractive to consumers. So, don't be too ordinary. You must use light different from the environment which can be particularly bright, or use color, to attract the attention of passers.Sign for entranceAt the same time, use the spotlights to illuminate the restaurant's brand/ logo so as to increase the presence of the brand/logo. Besides, add a down light or spotlight to illuminate the ground. It is not necessarily to light up the ground, but to make the light at the entrance to be layered, so as to compare it with the light on the signboard and to have thebusiness brand clearly recognized.2. Dining lobbyWhen you walk into the restaurant, you can see people eating in the lobby. Here the dishes on the table should be bright, which means that there must be lighting on the table. The overall style can be diversified: e.g. light up the table with narrow beam angles.Make a reflection through a narrow beam to the table to achieve the purpose of illuminating the faces. Have fewer lights and even no lights in other places. Such an environment is stylish.▲ "Glad to meet you" restaurant by Han HanThe eyes may be prone to fatigue when the contrast between light and dark in the restaurant is too high. But this is also a small business skill that can improve the turnover rate. Also, using lamps with large beam angles to provide uniform ambient light for the whole space is another way. Or use indirect lighting to emit soft ambient light by lighting the lamp slot on the ceiling.Both methods can reduce the overall contrast, and the whole space will be relatively bright, which is warmer and sweeter and is suitable for the daily dining of the public. Of course, it is also a good way to do both.The narrow beam is for the lighting of the table, whilethe wide beam and lamp slot are for auxiliary lighting. This reduces the contrast between the bright and the dark, so that the whole space looks more layered and rhythmicand people also feel happy sitting in the restaurant. If you add a dimming device, you can adjust the lighting to fit the restaurant atmosphere at the right time.▲Design of KAY Japanese restaurant3. Booths/private rooms   The booths and private rooms are relatively small, and the privacy is relatively strong. When it comes to the design which is expected to solve the problem of privacy, the lights are very important. The restaurant usually presses the light to a lower position, say the height of people getting along or eating. This can improve the privacy of the room.It is the blue wave shaped sky of the hall that attracts most attention.The ceiling, a result of the form-finding based on the simulation of gravity using computer digital technology, is composed of 90 long and short ribbons. Such romantic soft lines of childhood cut sunshine out for sparkling light.But if this is the case, the surrounding environment will have a relatively large contrast with the functional light on the table. Under this, spotlights can be used to brighten the decoration on the side of the wall, and the reflected light can provide a more uniform ambient light to the overall space.There are also restaurants that will set up shaped lights in the room, and at the same time separate the lights from the shape. The spotlights will light up the table and the background wall or the surrounding walls for decoration, thus providing diffuse ambient light for the whole space and creating an elegant and high-end atmosphere for the room. This is a typical case.4. Seats by windowRegarding the seats by window, it is more important for restaurants to get outdoors seen than to be seen indoors. This is because this involves the image of the restaurant and it can even attract guests more directly.This allows the seats by window in the restaurant to be located in the same position as the advertising window of the retail stores. Therefore, in addition to the functional light, it is also necessary to take into account the interior design of the lamp, the interior object displayed and other factors to create animagery of the restaurant. This is a very important link. Does you feel that it is very different from the previous space?▲ KFC drive-through restaurantThe lighting at the window can still be provided by spotlights, along with some interior or styling lamps for lighting. The lighting provided by these lamps for the overall space may be limited, but their role is to assist in the interpretation of the street window to create a living billboard.5. Open kitchenThe purpose of the open kitchen is to let the guests in the dining lobby see the inside of the kitchen, so it is necessary to keep consistent light color between the kitchen and the outside dining lobby OR to keep an extension from the dining lobby to the kitchen. In addition, remember to avoid abruptlighting, whether in terms of color temperature or illumination.For example, when the kitchen is brighter than the hall, it can easily lead to the guests'attention to the kitchen from the delicious food on the table.In addition to the various skills of lighting, the lighting structure of the restaurant also needs attention. The light source of the lamp in the restaurant should carry excellent color rendering, so that the food can lookmore delicious. The selection of different color temperature according to the food features to match the style of the restaurant will create a comfortable environment.For example, Sichuan hot pot is hot and spicy, and lamps of relatively low color temperature can be used to highlight the feeling of enthusiasm; in Japanese sushi store, the lamps of relatively high color temperature can be used. Therefore, it is necessary to first understand the positioning of the business and the style of the restaurant, then to determine the relevant lighting, lighting style and overall lighting color temperature. Of course, not only the environment of the restaurantbut also the delicious food of the restaurant is an important factor to attract guests.* Copyright Statement: This article comes from the internet.

Friends who have been in the light industry for a long time can't figure out the difference between the illumination and brightness. Today, let's know the difference between them and find out when to use illumination and when to use brightness. Relationship between illumination and brightness Here is a figure about the relationship of various light parameters. It should be known to anyone who study lighting and related design.    Figure: In short, the illumination on a surface can be measured when the light from the bulbs (luminous flux) is incident onto the surface from a certain direction at certain intensity (light intensity). Whether the surface is black or white, wood or stone, the value of illumination stays the same. The surface may reflect light- it is possibly a mirror reflection, and more likely a diffuse reflection-in the space there are many light reflections from many directions. When we stand in a certain position to see the illuminated surface, we see the brightness of the surface (brightness).Based on the above picture, we can find that,Illumination is an objective parameter. It is the number of light that reaches a certain surface, and is measured by a device. Brightness refers to the degree of lighting that is sent or reflected by an object and is perceived by eyes. It is not difficult to find that brightness is related to not only the material and color of the reflection surface, but also the position and angle of the human eyes during observation.When we are facing a black wall that is illuminated, we will not feel it bright. When we are facing a white wall that is illuminated, the situation is different. This is related to the reflection surface.Have you ever had the experience that when a beam of light hits a mirror, we may not see the mirror shine, but when we move to a certain position, we will see a very bright mirror image of light source.This is also the reason why the light of the mirror cannot be designed in this way. To design with brightness? I can't do it!What is the reason why lighting design is made based on illumination instead of brightness? Is it an instruction by the national standards?It is not a question of ability but of readiness. In the past, when we didn't have tools and wanted to design with brightness, there was a big problem. As a lighting designer, I cannot make decisions on either hard or soft decoration. Even if I am informed of all these including the decoration materials and features, I still cannot figure out the brightness. It is hard to figure out the illumination by hand. Let alone the brightness which is affected by surface, soft decoration, furniture placing, and moving line of people. Now, of course, it's different. Some simulation software, such as DIALux evo, can be used to simulate the brightness distribution.Here is another example.Let's take a look at the simulated distribution of illumination and brightness by DIALux evo:Two books on the table:One is a white book,The other is gray.Cloudy dayIn the room with light openThe illumination on the two booksAre exactly the sameCan’t believe? Have a look!ButRegarding the brightnessIt looks like this▲ The surface of black book (yellow) is more than 20 cd/m2, and the white book (orange) more than 40 cd/m2.In addition, there is a very important reason for giving up the calculation of brightness: it is very expensive!▲ Left is the meter for illumination, right is the meter for brightness.The measuring is also relatively complex. This is another reason for the failure in generalization. Even on the outdoor roads and tunnels which in fact should be based on brightness, we still follow the standard on illumination.▲ Brightness is usually one of the main indicators to evaluate the lighting quality of roads and tunnels; but it is always overlooked during the lighting design and check for acceptance, due to the complication in measuring or testing the brightness.In relevant national standards and norms, there is an inclination to simplify the relationship between illumination and brightness: it is a relationship related to reflection coefficient. Some are unclear about the definition of brightness and regard the uniformity of illumination as the uniformity of brightness, and some even mistakenly regard brightness as illumination. So, do you have ideas about the difference between illumination and brightness?

Early education centerOn the outer-ring of Shanghai, there is a private manor integrating nursery, wedding, pension, zoo and equestrian center. In this paradise, L&M Design Lab completed the reconstruction of an early education center. Under the quiet white facade, the soft boundary of the interior is faintly revealed, telling the dream in childhood.The kindergarten before the reconstruction had a separation of used space and traffic space. Some ways even did not have lighting. It was dull in style and imbalanced in structure. The excellent scenario of the race course outside cannot neutralize the interior mixing-but-not-matching style.        ▲ Indoor before reconstruction        ▲ First floor after reconstruction (flat image)        ▲ Second floor after reconstruction (flat image)        ▲ Axis side drawingThe reconstruction began with two negative walkways and one empty hall.1. Walkway The walkway outside the classroom is more suitable as a stage for children to free the nature of exploration. It has good vision and public attribute. Under this, we first swapped the classroom and the walkway on the 2nd floor, and eliminated the negative space where there was no natural lighting.                Walkway on the 1st floor                Walkway on the 2nd floorThen, on the basis of in-depth study of the behaviors of the children such as squatting, climbing, sitting, lying, and jumping in the process of growing, the partition between the walkway and the classroom was thickened. Then it became a multi-functional place for lighting, parent-child activities, children's games, and storage of training aids.        Inside the way for exploration: to store things                Outside the wall for exploration: for game-playingAfter the two steps of "swapping" and "thickening", the ground glass windows on one side of the walkway makes it possible for viewing scenery outside and meanwhile enabling the walkway to be a stage of scenery. The ways for children’s gaming are diversified and are imaginative.        ▲ Section view of walkway                ▲ Dynamic line analysis with the wall for exploration as axis                Game walkway                ▲ Windows on the wall for exploration (inside)                ▲ Windows on the wall for exploration (outside)2. HallThe empty hall is the key area of the reconstruction, and the sense of space flow and the interestingness are the core during the whole process.▲Flowing space of the entranceWe first built a ring tree house in the center of the hall as an exclusive place for teachers and children, and under the tree a small stage naturally formed became a place for public activities.                ▲Tree house and small stage                ▲Tree house and small stageThe former angular pillars were reshaped into trunks. They together define wrap-around dynamic lines which thoroughly activate this empty hall.                ▲Forest-like hall                ▲Stairs and climbing wall                ▲Ocean pool                 ▲ Window for opposite scenery in reception roomIt is the blue wave shaped sky of the hall that attracts most attention.The ceiling, a result of the form-finding based on the simulation of gravity using computer digital technology, is composed of 90 long and short ribbons. Such romantic soft lines of childhood cut sunshine out for sparkling light.The sky, the sea, the sunshine, the earth, the woods, the castle…these filled with natural breath, are re-assembly in the hall in an abstract way. Children shuttle everywhere. Perhaps this is the carefree look.                ▲ Digitalized wave ceiling                ▲ Abstract geometric patterns in the hall3. ClassroomIn addition to the public space, the original monotonous classroom was also reconstructed. The wall for exploration offers a place for storage, and the rest space is kept unoccupied completely. A blue arc outlining the shadow of waves on the wall, and a big-dipper-shaped lamp on the ceiling, together fulfill each classroom with stars and sea. Look out the window. Children are running on horses. They are to become the knights of their own future!▲ Star-patterned lampsWave-shaped wainscotThe flexible and warm early education centergives these 2-6 years old children unlimited creation and imagination. Through the big ground glass window, they can see the older children running in the horse ranch. Perhaps from here on, they will gradually grow into true knights.Analysis graphics of early education center

Projection lamps are used to emphasize the subject. From the perspective of lighting, Class IV, Class V and Class VI light distributions are commonly used. Here let’s have a look at their differences, advantages and disadvantages.First of all, let's briefly look at the way these kinds of light distribution are made.Class IV light distribution: strong asymmetry at front and rear (R0-R180), and symmetry on left and right (R90-R270)Class V light distribution: the light is round-shaped, lantern-like, and the beam angle is adjustable from narrow to wide.Class VI light distribution: wide beam angle, partially square shape, somewhat similar to Class V (symmetrical on left and right, and asymmetric at front and back), and light spreading around.Flood light for spotlightingMost of the small flood lights are used for spotlighting, and most of them on the market are Class V light distribution. Although the narrow Class V itself is "anti-glare", attention should be paid to the cut-off or shading design on the structure of the lamp. Reflector lamp for spotlighting As the most commonly seen spotlight, reflector lamp is mostly equipped with Class V narrow beams, and its light effect is similar to "flashlight". But, here to emphasize “but”: Is it the best when it is the most widely used? Question 1 The extremely narrow Class V light distribution is based on lens for which there is a blind area in the center. If the reflector is used, the size is too large, affecting the looking. If a soft light effect is needed, frosted light shield can be used but a certain light would be removed. ▲ As shown, multiple light sources are used for high-power flood light. If the left and middle light distributions (Class V) are used, pay attention to the screenshot in the red box, the light coincidence is low, and the result is that double image is easy to appear on the subject. By contrast, the right-most Class IV light distribution has a high coincidence rate and a long focus segment, so it is not easy to have the problems mentioned earlier.  Question 2  If you are not sure about the shaping of the lightened thing, Class IV light distribution may be better than Class V.As shown above, this is an art work. Usually, there will be a variety of interpretation of art. The lighting method above is focused on the back of the human body, but what is the focus of the author? Many times we have no ideas. As for the lighting of art work, we emphasize that we should try not to destroy the intention itself. At this moment, the shape of the lightened is not considered by using Class V light distribution which put too much emphasis on a certain part and lose the artistic conception of the whole work. Please use Class IV with long focus segment. It can illuminate the whole work evenly. Here is the comparison.▲Class IV (Right) V.S. Class V (Left): longer focus segment to illuminate the picture in a wider range. Question 3 Sharpness and softness of marginal lighting: the lighting effect is, of course, because of lighting design. The position and angle are important, and sharpness and softness of the light itself are also important. The marginal sharp and soft of the lamp depend on the light distribution. The results based on the same beam angle are far different. This is because the lighting shape plays an important role.▲ The beam angles of the left and the right are the same, and they are all lighting under single axis. Based on the effect simulated by software, the spot is obviously different. Look at the light distribution carefully. It can be found that the extension axis based on 50% light intensity is different, one is narrow and the other is wide. Down light for general lightingDown light is used most of the time as a general lighting tool, and almost all of them are Class V light distribution.The down light used for general lighting needs to be efficient. The panel for light control cannot be "too much even".The reflection of the inner wall of the down light is the factor affecting the light distribution. Especially in the narrow Class V distribution light, it is required to accurately control the light, and the inner wall reflection is easy to destroy the accuracy of the light distribution. Therefore, most of the down lights use a wide light distribution, and various light distributions can be used.Ceiling lamp for general lightingAlmost all of the ceiling lamps use wide Class V light distribution. Panel based light control is the main means because they cannot shade the lighting effectively and the surface brightness of the lamps should be controlled.Ceiling fitting for general lightingIt is always equipped with Class V and VI light distributions. Class I and II light distributions can also be used if needed, while Class III and IV are relatively rare.Regarding Class VI light distribution, the lighting is square-shaped and is spreading around, easy to meet the needs of the site lighting and to achieve the desired results. The Class V has very strong vertical lighting, and very low double-imaging.It can achieve full-lamp Class VI and even Class VIII light distribution by the combination of light distribution.Flood light for general lightingThe use of flood light in indoor space is mainly to solve basic lighting problem. There are many types of light distribution in flood light, of which Class II, Class III and Class IV are commonly used.Let's take a look at the effects of these types of light distribution.The above pictures are simulations of the effects of a convention and exhibition center using different types of light distribution. It can be seen that the Class IV effect is very good (Repeat it again - Class IV light is symmetrical on left and right, with strong asymmetry at front and back). The light shines down, the normal angle of view does not cause glare, and it can illuminate the whole space evenly.Of course, in some cases such as the art corridor, it is necessary to make a spot. However, in fact, in order to illuminate the middle area of the space and not to cause too strong light-and-dark contrast, the light should be lifted a little. This may cause glare in reality.Class II is the most commonly used light distribution for street lamps. However, its module is always used to make flood lighting due to the cost. Its position is the same with the aforementioned two. When it illuminates the two sides, the middle will be very dark. Then the angle should be lifted again and again…Let's take a look at the top view of Class IV.From the simulated effect of the exhibition hall above, Class IV performs best comprehensively. In indoor space, the 3D ratio is changeable, the appearances of lamps are required to be unified, but the light distribution should be varied. In order to satisfy the large space-depth ratio space, Class IV is the most suitable.*Note: This article comes from the lecture course "Optical Design and Application" by Zhang Daobo.
