Style
When it comes to choosing lighting for your commercial kitchen, style is one of the most important aspects to think about, especially if you have a dining area. Some of the best lights you can choose for a great dining area atmosphere are barn-style or recessed lighting.

Choosing Type of Lighting for Specific Locations
If parts of your commercial kitchen have areas that produce a lot of moisture, such as areas that make dough or dish pits, then you will want to choose a type of light that withstands these wet locations.
A low-profile ceiling canopy light is an overhead light with a watertight seal, protecting it against any moisture your commercial kitchen creates.
