HCL – Halton Skyline Culinary and Human Centric Light (CE)

The impact of lighting in professional kitchens has often been regulated to simply satisfying illumination levels without regard for personal wellbeing.

The link between good lighting, better working conditions and productivity, is now widely recognized. However, what often occurs when a kitchen benefits from excellent lighting levels, the staff is dazzled from reflected light. When dazzling does not occur, the kitchen typically suffers from a lack of illumination that is more harmful for the safety of the staff and hygiene of the kitchen.

Halton’s LED based lighting system has been specifically and exclusively designed for professional kitchens, making it the first Culinary Light. Its Human Centric version further improves the working conditions and staff’s Wellbeing.

• Based on the use of two types of spots, both equipped with the latest generation of highly efficient LEDs.
• Broad beam spot: designed to provide a uniform and bright general lighting. Colour temperature of 4000K with a CRI of 83 and a good balance between the direct and diffuse components of the light.
• Narrow beam spot: used to further improve the lighting level and the colour render of the food in strategic locations. Colour temperature of 2800K with a CRI of 95.
• More light without dazzling the staff: the shielding angle of the broad beam spots exceeds DIN EN-12464-1 requirement.
•  A Colour Rendering Index (CRI) and plasticity close to the one of daylight, especially when the two spot models are combined together.
•  Ideal visual comfort for the staff and improved safety.
