The Taste is a well know restaurant in Campbelltown NSW. The restaurant required a different lighting atmosphere for it’s lunch and dinner trading periods. The existing 50w halogen downlights could not provide this.
LEDified replaced 44 x 50w halogens with 44 x 10w EVA LEDs. Because EVA can change colour and brightness, the staff could transform the lighting atmosphere for their lunch and dinner trades. They chose a crisp neutral look during the daytime operations and a soft atmospheric light during the evening hours. EVA can also change brightness, which allowed staff to operate the till and drink station safely and effectively without disturbing the ambience in the dining area.
Aside from vastly improve lighting conditions, The Taste has reduced their annual lights costs by 87%.
