With the accelerated pace of life, the bakery has occupied the breakfast time of most modern people. Many office workers can buy a loaf of bread at the roadside bakery in order to sleep for a few more minutes. You may walk into the bakery countless times, but you don’t know anything about the lights in it because you are in a hurry.
Today, let's talk about how the lighting design of the bakery should be done.
What should you pay attention to in bakery lighting design? So there are different opinions:
- "The key lighting must have!" (Lighting level)
- "Is it a bread or a creamy cake? You need to consider the partition design. Bread is more suitable for warm white light around 3000K." (Color temperature)
——“If it is a high-grade dessert macaron, it needs high color temperature and high color rendering, but the uniformity of illumination is low.†(Color temperature, color rendering, environmental ratio)
As an industry foodie, I do feel more about the lighting design of food stores. So try to organize the written text based on the various viewpoints put forward by you and in combination with what you have learned.
Perhaps you are reading the article, you will not know the industry terminology just mentioned - lighting level, color temperature, color rendering, environment ratio. So I will use the bakery as an example to explain my personal understanding of lighting.
Lighting level
Just like light is the same as the overall wear of the space, different spaces require different levels of light environment:
The basic "warm" for warm and comfortable needs - ambient light;
Need to show people, pleasing people's "dress" - key lighting;
There is also a "accessory" with a small atmosphere - decorative lighting.
To design a light environment, we must first formulate an overall matching scheme based on space requirements. This is the level of lighting.
The merchandise display needs more prominent key lighting, and the public area is suitable for uniform general lighting. This style of configuration is just like wearing a tuxedo at a banquet and wearing a formal suit in the workplace.
In the bakery, ambient lighting is provided by downlights or diffuse decorative lighting, and accent lighting is required in the display and showcase areas. The erect display racks are layered to avoid shadows on the bread to avoid uneven light, and are generally illuminated by concealed cabinet lights. The interior lights are also particularly suitable for showcases with glass covers to prevent glare from being reflected by the glass on the ceiling.
Facade lighting
The window is very important! In order to attract diners, almost every bakery has a glass window.
If your freshly baked bread, cupcakes, donuts, etc. are displayed on the transparent window, my advice is to illuminate them! The goal is to let passers-by know the existence of these little cutes, let them shine under the light, let the foodies drool against the window!
Compared with the common horizontal lighting, vertical lighting is the king of eye-catching, so don't be afraid to use the light source with the best color temperature and color rendering and the best lighting equipment!
Leisure area
In most bakeries, there is always a relaxing area where you can stop and rest for a meal. Here we don't need the "squeaky" downlight. The natural diffuse or half-cut decorative lights are ideal for creating a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.
People are more willing to sit in such a quiet light environment to have a cup of coffee and a piece of cake. The personality and features of the store can also be reflected in the sleek and sleek luminaires.
Color temperature
Like the mood of light - low color temperature: comfortable and warm; high color temperature: fresh and cold. Whether it's “Tasteful Beauty†or “Paris Sweetâ€, we can get the burnt yellow croissant with oil on the open shelves, or take out the fruit cake wrapped with white cream from the glass chilled cabinet. The color temperature is the key to making these foods more attractive.

Figure: The cream cake that needs to be refrigerated is more suitable for a slightly colder 4000K neutral white light.
On the basis of the uniform color temperature of the large environment, such as the general illumination of 3000K, the relatively low color temperature difference between the showcase and the display rack will not damage the overall effect of the room, and it is not easy to cause customers to be surprised.

Color rendering
Color rendering represents the ability of light to restore the original color of the object being illuminated. Generally speaking, the higher the color rendering of light, the more vivid the color of the object being illuminated. Therefore, the color rendering of the light source is the key to affecting the "selling phase" of bread and cake.
The best color halogen source is the first to bear the brunt, while warm white or neutral white LEDs, fluorescent lamps, at least use this indicator: Ra>85, R9>0 (red light color), can create a "delicious" Light environment. Under the illumination of a high color rendering light source, we can even feel the soft taste of the cake and the fresh aroma of the freshly baked bread.
Environmental ratio
This refers to the ratio of the brightness of the object to the ambient brightness. The larger the ratio, the more obvious the contrast between light and dark, and the more prominent the object is. Whether it's a near-bright 1:2 ratio or a somewhat dramatic 1:5 ratio, it's perfect for a bakery.
The environment of the bakery is not fixed, and the choice of the light environment in the store is one of the important factors for locating the consumer group. The dramatic environment ratio will give customers the psychological feeling that "the bread in this store is more upscale." The evenly bright light environment will make customers feel that "this store is very close to the people."
The choice of decorative finishes and color schemes also plays an important role in the subjective brightness experience of the guests. It can easily create a uniform and bright light environment in white and light-colored interior spaces.
In a black, dark, and cool-toned interior finish, you can create dramatic spaces. If you have to reverse it, such as the dark indoor environment to create a bright space, you may be at the expense of higher energy consumption.

The time to lift the chestnuts is here again. I hope to create a fresh and pleasant bakery. According to the above-mentioned analysis of the lighting Tips, the bakery is divided into public walkways, exhibition areas, rest areas and cashier areas.
1. According to the uniform lighting method, a uniform basic illumination is built for the interior, and the color temperature is 3000K;
2. The display rack and the showcase are mainly illuminated by the cabinet lights, ensuring that each layer of merchandise will not be neglected. The color temperature of the cabinet lights is selected separately, the bread display rack of 1.5 meters high is 2700K, and the cooler cabinet of the shorter one is 4000K. ;
3, the rest area, color rendering and color temperature are just good halogen source is the first choice of this area, gentle light through the lampshade, regardless of food or people who enjoy food, looks beautiful;
4. Like other shops, the cashier area is the face of the bakery. In addition to the need to focus on lighting to ensure the use of functions, you can also use the wall-washing lighting to add a touch of color to the background wall of the checkout counter. Don't forget, the facade lighting is eye-catching. Magic weapon!
Through the above analysis, I believe that you have a certain understanding of the lighting design of the bakery. However, specific issues still require specific analysis, because no single design approach is once and for all. The best lighting environment should be integrated with the spirit of architecture, interior design and place to bring people a natural light and comfortable experience, while at the same time have their own personality and characteristics.
