Apr 2    Go Beyond the Bulb? New Lighting Practices for Food Service
Efficient Lighting is a 75% Off Sale! Efficient lighting is an easy way to save energy in a commercial food service operation but it's important to make sure that the lighting fits the mood, décor and function - simply screwing in an efficient LED lamp is not doing enough. Using the latest technologies in solid state (LED) lighting and some basic knowledge of human perception, it is possible to illuminate the front of house in a way that is appealing to your customers and the back of house in a way that can make employees safer and more productive while cutting energy and maintenance costs. Learn how to create an appealing and cost efficient lighting system designed for the health and happiness of your customers and staff.
