Choosing the Right Lighting.
Think about it - the table is the “point of sale” at a restaurant.
So it is important to make customers feel relaxed, and candlelight
is the most effective way to do this. Our lamps are not a primary
light source, just an effective and subtle way to enhance the
mood, regardless of what other lighting the restaurant uses.
We have customers who have invested significantly on overall lighting,
but still use table lamps because of their effect at the table.
Choosing tabletop lighting is a matter of selecting the right
style and design to meet your customers' needs.
Here are some things to consider:
| • |
What type of concept or look is the restaurant trying to
achieve?
|
| • |
Are you currently using anything on the table? If you are
using candles, are you experiencing trouble with wax and smoke?
|
| • |
If you are using tealights, do they often go out? Are they
the right “look” for the restaurant?
|
| • |
Who are your patrons, and what appeals to them? Almost everyone
loves a candlelit dinner, but try to match the lamp to your
market - we have everything from classic, old world lamps to
ultra modern, simple, clean designs.
|
| • |
What are your table sizes and configurations? Our lamp dimensions
are provided on the information page for each lamp. All of
the lamps are relatively narrow in diameter, but vary in height
- both tall and short lamps are appropriate depending on your
décor.
|
| • |
What designs or colours are the tablecloths, china and flatware?
You can narrow your choices by deciding on what finish and
colours you would like to have on the table.
|
| • |
What is the budget? Individual prices are provided with each
lamp - ask us for a quote on bulk orders.
|
| • |
How will the lamp coordinate with the overall setting - walls
(are they timber or stone, etc.), floors, chairs? A photo is
provided for each lamp, so if you have a “good feel” for your
room, you can picture what it will look like. If you are not
sure, we can send you a free sample to test at the table.

will be happy with the choice you have made after browsing through
the Lamp Gallery. |
