Customer Guide: What We Need to Quote Your Bar, Restaurant, Cinema & Theatre LED Strip Lighting Set-Up

Lighting plays a powerful role in setting mood, guiding customers and enhancing the overall experience across hospitality and entertainment spaces. From ambient glow in bars and restaurants to cinematic effects in cinemas and stage lighting in theatres, the right solution depends on good planning and accurate details.

To provide an accurate quotation, please supply the following information:

Area and Run Measurements

Provide accurate measurements for all areas where lighting will be installed, including bar counters, shelving, dining spaces, aisles, stairways, seating areas, stage surrounds, foyers, reception zones, roof / ceiling and wall features.

 

Type of LED Strip Light

Tell us which LED strip type is required for each area. Options include standard LED strip, COB (spot-free), RGB/RGBW colour-changing, pixel effects, or dual white lighting - depending on whether the aim is ambience, branding, visual impact or functional lighting.

Brightness Level

Different spaces have different requirements. Please confirm brightness requirements by zone:

• Bars & Restaurants: softer ambient lighting with brighter feature areas
• Cinemas: low-level lighting for audience comfort with safety illumination for walkways
• Theatres: stage accent lighting combined with ambient and safety lighting
  
  

Colour Temperature or Effects

Select your desired colour style:

• Warm white for comfort and atmosphere
• Natural or cool white for visibility and clarity
• RGB / RGBW / Pixel for colour effects and branding
• Dual white for adjustable tone

Custom Length Requirements

Confirm whether LED strips should be supplied pre-cut and pre-wired to exact lengths for bars, shelves, seating edges, steps, coving or scenic features.

Link Cable Requirements

Advise where linking cables are required to navigate corners, ceilings, height changes, tiered seating or physical breaks in layout.

Power and Driver Requirements

Provide total strip lengths per zone so we can calculate the correct size and quantity of drivers and power supplies.

Control Systems

Confirm if control features are required, such as:

• Dimming or Smart Controls
  Indicate whether you require TRIAC dimmable constant voltage LED drivers (mains dimming), or other control options such as remote controls, wireless wall controllers, or smart/app-based systems. 

Channels and Diffusers

Let us know whether aluminium channels are required, and whether lighting will be recessed, surface-mounted or concealed.

 

IP Rating Requirements

Advise if moisture-resistant or heavy-duty LED strips are required for:

• Bar zones
• Kitchens
• Entrances
• Cloak room
• Floor lighting

Special Requirements

Include any visual objectives, branding requirements, themed designs or experience goals - this ensures your lighting is tailored to your venue’s identity.
