Burger King came to OPPLE with a goal – build a friendlier dining
atmosphere for their consumers. Such an open and ambitious
goal became a challenging yet exciting project for OPPLE. Burger
King is most often located in in fast paced cities, where a busy
lifestyle is basically a requirement. Therefore it can be hard to find
spare time, even just for enjoying meals with friends and loved
ones. Burger King wanted to change this, and saw the opportunity
to leverage its speed as a fast–food restaurant with a more
welcoming lighting environment, encouraging sitting down for
a nice meal even if for a short while.
OPPLE chose the Downlight HM, Spot Light (Spot Round
Adjustable High Quality) and Slim Panels luminaire. In the dining
area, OPPLE Experts suggested the use of luminaires with a color
temperature of 3000K and a warm white color to create a
friendly and inviting atmosphere. In the kitchen and office, OPPLE
chose luminaires with a color temperature of 4000K, with a
neutral white color to create a more productive environment.Burger King

According to similar research
at Iowa State University, blue
lighting can in fact slow down
the human metabolism. As a
result, it can reduce customers’
appetite, and more importantly
the profits of your business.
Therefore, OPPLE suggests you
to avoid using blue lighting and
replace it with a warmer white
or yellow light to keep both
your customers’ dining
experience and satisfaction
at the highest levels.

The Color Rendering Index
(CRI) of luminaires is a key
element for retailers to consider
when looking to improve their
retail performance. The higher
the index of a luminaire, the
more accurate and attractive
colors will appear. Thus in
retail spaces where the visual
presence of products is
important, a higher index
luminaire can ensure vivid
colors and the most true-to-
life retail experience for
your customers.

According to OPPLE experts,
Asians tend to prefer colder
white lights, which are more
closely associated with a high-
end shopping experience. Thus,
for a trendy brand store like
Adidas, OPPLE chose lights
with colder effects to create
the desired feel. OPPLE also
suggests the use of accent
lighting when you want to draw
customer attention to specific
products or promotions.

Low office productivity can
often be rooted back as a
consequence of poor office
lighting. Very often, companies
make the mistake of choosing
too dim or too harsh lights that
can cause eyestrain and
headaches for their employees.
