Restaurants and Lighting:  The Right Lighting Can Stimulate Your Customers’ Appetite�

OPPLE Best Practices�Burger King came to OPPLE with a goal – build a friendlier dining atmosphere for their consumers. Such an open and ambitious goal became a challenging yet exciting project for OPPLE. Burger King is most often located in in fast paced cities, where a busy lifestyle is basically a requirement. Therefore it can be hard to find spare time, even just for enjoying meals with friends and loved ones. Burger King wanted to change this, and saw the opportunity to leverage its speed as a fast–food restaurant with a more welcoming lighting environment, encouraging sitting down for a nice meal even if for a short while.

OPPLE chose the Downlight HM, Spot Light (Spot Round Adjustable High Quality) and Slim Panels luminaire. In the dining area, OPPLE Experts suggested the use of luminaires with a color temperature of 3000K and a warm white color to create a friendly and inviting atmosphere. In the kitchen and office, OPPLE chose luminaires with a color temperature of 4000K, with a neutral white color to create a more productive environment. �Burger King�

According to similar research at Iowa State University, blue lighting can in fact slow down the human metabolism.  As a result, it can reduce customers’ appetite, and more importantly the profits of your business. Therefore, OPPLE suggests you to avoid using blue lighting and replace it with a warmer white or yellow light to keep both your customers’ dining experience and satisfaction

at the highest levels.�

The Color Rendering Index (CRI) of luminaires is a key element for retailers to consider when looking to improve their retail performance. The higher the index of a luminaire, the more accurate and attractive colors will appear. Thus in retail spaces where the visual presence of products is important, a higher index luminaire can ensure vivid colors and the most true-to- life retail experience for your customers. �
