Farley’s Watering Hole


Farley’s is a good example of a theme restaurant and the possibilities of automated lighting control. The Lutron Grafik Eye system that you see in this picture, controls all the lighting levels within the restaurant automatically.

Once the Grafik Eye system is installed and programmed it uses Global Positioning to determine time of day and location. With this information the system can then be set to change lighting levels at different times of day, for instance lunch and dinner, and will adjust those lighting levels to compensate for changes in the outside conditions, for instance sunset. This feature along with adjustable light level fade times will set and maintain a light level suitable for the mood of the time of day, brighter at lunch and lower at dinner. With adjustable fade times the light level changes are imperceptible to the human eye. All these features are cared for automatically by the system with no need for daily adjustment by management. If for some reason, like a special event that might be planned in the restaurant, the lighting levels must be changed manually this can be done at one of a number of touchpads located throughout the restaurant or by a remote control very similar to a TV remote.

The entire electrical system at Farley’s is relatively unseen. This fact is brought to your attention here because of the unconventional building methods employed in the construction of this unique building. Despite the wide-open nature of the entry and bar areas, the electrical installation is well hidden and unobtrusive. In this type of installation it is not what you see, but what you don’t see.

A restaurant like Farley’s is the ultimate blend of form and function. A one-of-a-kind eating establishment that employs advances in technology, unique architecture and good food to create an atmosphere like no other.

LE Electric can and will put forth the same effort in order to realize the same results for you as we did for Farley’s Watering Hole.
