How to choose the right Lighting and Fixtures

• Measure your pass, counter or carving station to decide how many heat lamps or shades you need and the ideal spacing between them.
• Choose between fixed and retractable fittings depending on whether you need to adjust lamp height for different dishes and service styles.
• Consider shade shape and finish, such as dome or conical in silver, brass, copper or black, to suit your interior and light spread requirements.
• Check bulb wattage and infrared output to ensure sufficient holding temperature for the volume of plates you serve at peak times.
• Confirm electrical supply, mounting method and ceiling height so installation is safe, compliant and practical for your kitchen layout.

Care and maintenance

• Switch off and allow lamps to cool fully before cleaning or changing bulbs to avoid burns and damage.
• Wipe shades and fittings regularly with a soft cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive pads that can scratch finishes.
• Inspect cables, fixings and retractable mechanisms frequently to ensure they remain secure and operate smoothly.
• Replace infrared bulbs at the first sign of flickering or reduced output to maintain safe, consistent food temperatures.
• Schedule periodic checks by a qualified electrician to verify connections and overall electrical safety.
