ShakeyJ's(After)-AnsellLighting-15Oct2024-DecoyMedia-5

Project Overview:

Shakey J’s Diner was facing a common issue: outdated and dim lighting that created an uninviting atmosphere, even leading customers to believe the diner was closed during trading hours. The management sought a reliable and modern lighting solution to brighten the space, improve safety, and match their quirky décor. Ansell Lighting provided the perfect solution with a range of energy-efficient, contemporary lighting products.

 

 

Objectives:

  • Brighten the overall space with modern, energy-efficient lighting.
  • Create a welcoming and professional ambiance for customers.
  • Improve visibility and functionality in the kitchen area.
  • Ensure the lighting complements the existing quirky interior décor.

 

Challenges:

  • The lighting needed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
  • The installation had to be quick and seamless, without causing too much disruption to the business.
  • The kitchen lighting required a robust solution to handle high heat and humidity.

 

Solutions:

Front of House: In the main dining area, the Anzo Multiled CCT Adjustable Downlight and Prism Pro CCT Fire Rated Downlight were installed to brighten and modernise the space.

 

Anzo Multiled CCT Adjustable Downlight: This high-performance luminaire features adjustable CCT (Correlated Colour Temperature), allowing the diner to switch between 3000K, 4000K, and 6000K to create the desired ambiance. With up to 950 lumens, the downlight provides a clean, modern look and excellent light output. Its low-profile design fitted perfectly into Shakey J’s décor without disrupting the visual flow.

 

Prism Pro CCT Fire Rated Downlight: The Prism Pro is both functional and versatile, offering dual wattage options (6W or 8W) and CCT adjustability (3000K, 4000K, 6000K). These downlights are fire-rated for 30, 60, and 90 minutes, ensuring added safety while maintaining a sleek, modern appearance. This was critical in Shakey J’s busy environment, offering peace of mind and improved safety.

 

Together, these downlights not only brightened the space significantly but also provided flexibility in lighting tones, allowing the diner to create different atmospheres for different times of day. The professional finish of these lights added a modern touch that blended seamlessly with Shakey J’s quirky décor.

 

Safety and Accessibility: The Adler Slim Exit Box was installed to meet safety regulations while blending in with the diner’s aesthetic. This slimline emergency lighting product offers a sleek, unobtrusive design with a powerful LED light source that ensures clear visibility in emergency situations. Its slim profile allowed for installation without detracting from the diner’s visual appeal. The Adler Exit Box also boasts a long lifespan, minimising maintenance requirements.

 

Kitchen Area: In the kitchen, a more robust solution was needed due to the heat and high activity. The Tornado Evo 2 was selected to meet these demands.

 

Tornado Evo 2: Known for its industrial-grade reliability, the Tornado Evo 2 offers powerful, consistent lighting with 4450 lumens output at 38W. Designed for commercial kitchens, this LED batten light provides high levels of brightness, ensuring safe and efficient food preparation. It also features a polycarbonate body and diffuser, offering resistance to heat, moisture, and dirt, making it ideal for the kitchen environment. The high lumen output ensured excellent visibility in all areas of the kitchen, improving both safety and workflow for the staff.

 

Outcome: The lighting upgrade at Shakey J’s was a resounding success. The front-of-house area now features crisp, modern lighting that enhances both the décor and the customer experience. The flexible CCT adjustability of the Anzo and Prism Pro downlights allows for different moods to be set based on the time of day, from a warm morning glow to a bright, lively evening ambiance. The slim profile of the lighting products blends seamlessly into the diner’s unique aesthetic.

 

In the kitchen, the Tornado Evo 2 provides bright, reliable lighting, enabling staff to work efficiently and safely. The high durability of the Tornado Evo 2 ensures longevity even in the harsh conditions of a busy kitchen, significantly reducing the need for frequent replacements or maintenance.

 

Client Testimonial:

“As the owner of a local diner, I faced a major issue with our old, failing lighting. It was so dim that customers often thought we were closed, even during business hours. This not only hurt our sales but also impacted the experience we wanted to create.

 

In search of a solution, I turned to Ansell Lighting. Their service was incredible—they had everything in stock and delivered quickly, which was a huge relief.

 

After installing the new lighting, the transformation was remarkable. The high-quality products not only brightened the space but also gave the diner a professional, modern look. The new lights fit seamlessly with our existing décor, enhancing the overall ambiance without feeling out of place. Customers now feel welcome and engaged, and it’s had a positive effect on our business. I couldn’t be happier with the results. Thank you, Ansell Lighting!”

The blend of modern, high-performance lighting solutions has brightened the space, enhanced the diner’s quirky aesthetic, and created a welcoming atmosphere for customers. The reliable and durable kitchen lighting has also improved the efficiency of kitchen operations.
