Lighting includes the use of both artificial light sources like lamps and light fixtures, as well as natural illumination by capturing daylight. … Lighting can also be an intrinsic component of landscape projects.

Brief:-
Proper lamp lightings for a restaurant which affects the customers moods and dinning choices, and ensures that the cooking and
wait staff can fully see the kitchen utensils that they’re using. For customers, it's also important that they are able to walk through
the restaurants safely by seeing where they’re going and what they’re eating.
Synopsis:
In this project, I have discussed about what is pendent lamp and what the different types of pendent lamps are. Then I discuses
about the point taken into consideration while designing any good lamp.
Before beginning with case study I created a look book of restaurants from around the city. thereafter, I did a market survey of
Restaurant to understand how they have been planned and designed.
Hypothesis:
• Identify problem/make an observation
 Quality of light/poor Quality
 Heating danger?
 Financial cost?
 Contrasting the interior of restaurants?
 Glare with light?
 Areas to hang the lamp

5. History of pendent lamp:
Pendant lamps apparently date back to ancient Greece, where they used to hang animal fats and perfumes
in clay pots with wicks. Things have come a long way since then–more modern (from the middle of the
century) pendant lamps have been inspired by industrial versions from the 1920's and 30's.
Different Types of Pendant lamp:
• Glass Pendants.
• Multi Light Pendants.
• Drum Shade Pendants.
• Globe Pendant Lights.
• Cord Pendants.
• Linear Pendant.
• Shade Pendants.
• Lantern Pendants.
Pendant lamp
• ceiling and can be positioned over bars, tables, islands, countertops, and host areas
• Provides great task lighting for guests when reading menus.
LED flame Lighting
• LED lights are more energy efficient than other options, resulting in lower utility bills.
• They're directional, so they focus the light in one specific area.
Effect of lighting in restaurant:
A recent study conducted by Cornell University suggests a restaurant's lighting affects customers'
moods and dining choices. ... According to that study, diners are 16 - 24% more likely to order
healthy food in well-lit restaurants. That's because bright light increases a person's senses and
heightens emotions

6. Case study:
• Spearhead Interior Contracts was recently commissioned by a long standing client, the Aviator Hotel O.R.Tambo
Johannesburg, to develop a new full service restaurant. The design thinking required a fresh, hands-on approach to
refurbish, re-brand and expand the Hotel`s existing café diner and ancillary spaces. The design team was challenged to
accommodate crowds of banqueting diners, in addition to the Hotel`s high occupancy guest dining configuration. The
design team approached the strategic design by developing a strong brand story. The narrative “the Tin Goose” needed to
be pivotal to “the Aviator Hotel`s” current identity, but offer guests an unforgettable multi-sensory dining experience. "the
Importance of efficient Lighting and impact on the culinary experience was one of the key considerations in the successful
delivery of the project". At the forefront of the lighting design strategy, Spearhead implemented energy efficient lighting
technologies to reduce the carbon footprint and considerably trim down the Hotel client`s operating costs. New
generation LED architectural lighting are the perfect light source for dynamic color rendition, long service life, increased
productivity and maximized efficiency. The buffet service line required custom lighting zones for the grilling, salad bar,
fresh baked sections and food prep areas. The high color rendering LED luminaires is available in particularly soft golden-
yellow tones for the attractive illumination of fresh bread and baked goods, including saturated red tones for displaying
meat at the grilling section. The design team selected recessed LED down lights with sealed enclosures. The IP65 damp-
proof luminaires comply with commercial kitchen safety standards in preventing particulate contamination. Flangeless
plaster-in down light trims were engineered to fit down light housings and to further reduce glare, eye strain and fatigue.
Giant LED filament bulbs was introduced for key ambient layering of the main dining areas. Spherical bulbs, over-sized
tubes, tear drops and globes paired in dramatic clusters provides perfect ambient aesthetics. With a timeless vintage glow,
similar to that of a candle light, the 10w LED dim-to-warm lamps adds a familiar sense of place and a warm, inviting
ambience. The giant bulbs utilize the latest high efficiency sapphire LED filaments and long life IC driver technology. The
lamp base & holder size was also increased from E27 to E40 industrial, to accommodate larger LED drivers and capacitors,
improving the lamp`s lifespan and luminous performance. The design team at Spearhead also introduced bespoke Cove
lights and stylish Aviation themed Light boxes. The LED strip lights recessed above custom-cast gypsum cornices, allows for
important indirect and accent lighting. The Cove lights showcase the vintage pressed ceilings, softens and also diffuses the
distribution of light. The Aviation themed Light boxes with dimmable LED back lighting, further expands the “the Tin
Goose” branding elements, reducing shadows and completing the balanced distribution of light.
