Entry DescriptionThe lighting design in Tamba is created to complement its vibrant and intimate atmosphere, which celebrates the rich spirit and flavors of West Africa.
The use of 2300K super warm color temperature lighting throughout integrated linear lighting in the the space enhances the inviting and cozy ambiance, enveloping guests in a soft, golden glow that fosters a sense of intimacy and warmth. While using 2700K with CRI 95 on the table to show the vivid colour of the food.This warm lighting not only accentuates the intricate details of the décor but also aligns with the lively yet cozy essence of Tamba.
In the inner garden, the lighting design takes on a transformative role, utilizing RGBW technology to create a dynamic and immersive experience. The lighting transitions through a spectrum of colors, evoking the hues of a breathtaking sunset and transitioning into a deep midnight blue, mirroring the tranquil beauty of the night. This carefully orchestrated lighting scheme reflects Tamba's concept, where the joyous and celebratory spirit of West African culture is brought to life through a blend of intimate settings and vibrant visual elements. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in this element of surprise where the lighting not only enhances the ambiance but also becomes an integral part of the storytelling, celebrating the West African joie de vivre in every detail.
Sustainability ApproachTamba's lighting design emphasizes sustainability by integrating fixtures that are both durable and reusable. The use of a modular system allows for easy replacement of components, such as drivers or LED chips, when needed, ensuring that the fixtures have a long life and minimizing waste.
A lighting control system is implemented to optimize energy efficiency. Timers are set to reduce the lighting setup to just 10% of its power during evening hours, significantly lowering energy consumption. This thoughtful approach not only reduces the carbon footprint but also extends the lifespan of the lighting fixtures, aligning with Tamba's commitment to sustainability while maintaining its vibrant ambiance.
