High-Tech Lighting and Shades Create More Than Ambiance

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 14 — Restaurant owners who design and install high-tech lighting and shades will achieve automated ambiance, comfort, protection, cost savings and safety.

“Lutron is the leader in the high-tech lighting and shade industry because of their 45 years of experience, research and development,” advised Hal Kaplan, chief operating officer of All Energy Electric in Fort Lauderdale. A 30-year veteran in the electrical business, he strives to offer the best design and installation of lighting to his clients. “With Lutron’s innovative systems, I’m able to accomplish this and offer several key benefits,” he said.

The perfect ambiance can be achieved through lighting effects that attract attention, create drama and excitement, or set a mood of comfort and romance. Lighting can be automatically programmed to be turned up or down depending on the time of day and the natural sunlight available. It can also be controlled with the touch of a button using one panel or remotely from a computer.

“I encourage restaurant owners to take advantage of natural sunlight and control it with motorized shades,” added Kaplan. Shades control light and heat that enters and exits through windows and skylights. Shades of almost any color can also be automatically programmed to be lowered or raised uniformly during certain times of the day to keep sunlight out of diners’ eyes, which keeps them comfortable and all seating occupied. Shades can be used to black out rooms for activities like screen presentations. Interior finishes are also protected from harsh ultraviolet rays, and cooling requirements are reduced through the use of shades.

An automated system will save restaurant owners money by reducing electricity and maintenance costs. At an investment of approximately one dollar per square foot, a system could give a return on investment in as little as six months. This is accomplished through setting lower maximum light levels; reducing lighting with the use of occupancy sensors; using daylight to reduce light levels with photo sensors; and reducing light levels automatically during non-working hours. Altogether, this also helps restaurant owners be environmentally responsible.

Maintenance cost savings comes from using dimmers, which increases incandescent bulb life two to 20 times. Additionally, automating lighting maintenance permits group lamp replacement, resulting in cost reduction.

Lighting controls also enhance safety systems required by building codes. They create uniform pathways of light to indicate exit routes, and eliminate dark pathways and dark bathrooms by using occupancy sensors with fluorescent dimming.

Innovative lighting systems provide restaurant owners with many benefits. The bottom line is they create inviting atmospheres while producing a good return on investment.
