The Restaurant lit by tunable

Every table in its own light.

Scroll Skip to specs

Light the plate. Light the faces. Leave the rest to the night.

Pendants over the tables, downlights over the pass and the bar, and one line of light along the counter.

Afternoon prep at a restaurant pass: a head chef placing a herb leaf with tweezers and a sous chef wiping a plate rim, under a straight row of four small Altus downlights giving crisp cool white light over plates of beetroot and heirloom carrots.

The pass

Clear white at the pass.

The kitchen stays in crisp, clear white all night, so every plate is checked in the same honest light. At CRI 95, the beetroot, the herbs and the carrots look the way the chef meant them to.

Beam angles

Wide, or tight.

Kahlo comes in 24°, 36° and 60° beams, so the pool of light can take in the whole table or stay on the plates. A slim Ø 57mm cylinder, in 300mm and 600mm lengths.

A bartender pouring a cocktail behind a dark green marble bar, with a straight line of warm Hyperion 10 neon under the front edge of the counter and under each back-bar shelf, small Altus downlights pooling light on the bar top, and two guests on stools.

21:30 · The bar

One straight line, end to end.

A 10x10mm line of neon tucked under the counter and every shelf: no dots, no gaps, and sealed to IP67 for the spills a bar sees every night.

Last orders. Same warm light.

A room diners come back to, and staff like working in.

The restaurant after service: three tables cleared beneath the slim white Kahlo pendants, a couple laughing over espresso at the last table and a waitress polishing a wine glass.

23:15 · The last table

Nobody wants to leave.

One pendant over each table keeps the light on the people still talking and off everyone else, with a glare rating of UGR <19 and CRI 90.

Control

Every light, one system.

Pendants, downlights and neon all run on DALI-2, so prep, service and close are each one scene.

Kahlo

Over every table: one slim pendant, hung plumb about 750mm above the top, pooling warm light on the plates.
