General
What Lighting Is Best for a Commercial Kitchen?
Depending on the layout of the kitchen, there are several NSF-rated lighting options that would work in a commercial kitchen. The best way to determine the right lighting plan for you is to create a commercial kitchen light design. We are happy to do this for your commercial kitchen space.
What Color Temperature Light Should You Use in a Commercial Kitchen?
The two best options are 5000K and 4000K. Most of our customers use 5000K and we stock 5000K options.
