Restaurant & Cafe Lighting

Can a customer comfortably read the menu?

This simple requirement can so often be overlooked due to a focus on aesthetics without thinking about functional needs. Any restaurant customer must be able to comfortably read the menu, whether this is a menu at the table or a board mounted to the wall.

Our standard track lights have a 60 degree beam angle as standard, but this can be quickly and easily changed to a 15 degree beam by purchasing an additional lens.

Choosing to illuminate tables with a 15 degree beam angle provides a focused beam of light that provides sufficient lighting to clearly see menus and wine lists. A board on the wall is best lit with a 60 degree beam, which provides a wider flood of light.

During a restaurant’s lifetime it’s highly likely that furniture and perhaps even decor will be amended and updated.

A track lighting system provides a future-proof solution, as once the track itself is in place it’s extremely simple to move the track lighting heads into new positions. Whether you have installed a rectangular circuit of track or a continuous length down the middle of a dining space, track heads can be relocated without the need for an electrician. Fittings can also be swiveled and tilted, to direct light exactly where you need it.
