How Commercial Low Bar Lights Work
Low bar lights operate using advanced LED technology that delivers bright, consistent illumination with minimal power consumption. Typically mounted underneath bar counters or within display shelving, these lights create a subtle yet effective glow that highlights bottles, glassware, and bar features. Most systems run on low voltage (12V or 24V) with transformers converting mains power, making them safer in wet bar environments. The lights often feature aluminium heat sinks to disperse warmth, ensuring longevity even when running for 12+ hours daily. With colour temperatures ranging from warm white (2700K) to cool white (6000K), you can craft the perfect atmosphere for your venue!
