Abstract

This study was carried out from September 2018 to May 2019 at some garden cafes in Thu Duc district. The objective of the study was to survey different types of lights used for decoration of cafe gardens. The study used questionnaires of light characteristics for data collection and then the information collected was analyzed and evaluated for creating lighting designs. The district selected for investigation was divided by wards, routes and cafe areas. The results showed that the majority of 40 garden cafes investigated had LEDs with yellow or white color. Due to the space of cafes, drop lights were preferred and light installation was focused on walkways using lights without lampshades. Five lighting models were designed using concentrated lighting with natural images such as bamboo, sunshine, water surface and folk items like bamboo fish trap. Briefly, the findings of this study would contribute to the improvement of decorative lights for existing garden cafes in Thu Duc district.
