For restaurants and stores
We install the lighting and electrical behind dining rooms, bars and sales floors: pendants, coves, track lights and signs, wired for opening day and dimmed just right for service.
Kaion Energy Solutions Ltd. is a licensed electrical contractor that installs restaurant, bar and retail lighting across Toronto and the GTA: decorative pendants, LED coves and strips, track lighting, dimming and signs, along with the kitchen and equipment circuits behind them. We work with your designer and general contractor so the lighting goes in where the drawings show it.
Restaurants and bars
Good restaurant lighting is layered: pendants you notice, coves you don't, and dimmers that take the room from lunch to late night.
Cocktail bar and restaurant
Woven pendants over the dining room, back-lit laser-cut screens at the host stand, and lighting worked into a layered slatted ceiling.
Feature ceilings
Curved bulkheads, oval ceilings and wave-shaped soffits, each with LED strip or pot lights built in during framing so the light looks like part of the architecture.
Quick-service restaurant
Blue pendants over a lit service counter, track lighting down the dining area, and bright, even light on the kitchen line.
Dining room
Paper pendants under a woven ceiling, a painted vaulted ceiling lit for the evening, and lanterns that set the mood on a busy night.
Restaurant and retail projects built with Imagine Work, with lighting and electrical by Kaion.
Retail and stores
In a store, the lighting does the merchandising: track heads aimed at the shelves, pendants over the counter, and a storefront you can see from across the street.
Retail fit-outs
Track lighting along a curved sneaker wall, ring pendants behind gold laser-cut screens, and pendant spotlights over the counter run.
What we light
Decorative fixtures hung at the right height, centred on the tables they light.
Hidden light in bulkheads, ceilings, bars and shelves, with drivers you can reach.
Heads aimed at the product, the art or the menu board.
Dimmers matched to the LEDs, so the room dims smoothly without flicker or buzz.
Sign circuits, canopy lights and timers, so you're open on the street.
Bright task light on the line, hood lights and the circuits behind the equipment.
How we work
Fixture locations, heights and switching as your designer laid them out.
We put up a sample fixture or strip so you see the colour and brightness first.
Rough-in, fixtures and inspection scheduled around the other trades.
LED drivers and dimmers matched, tested and set before the soft opening.

Questions
Yes. We install to your designer's drawings, including fixture locations, mounting heights, switching and dimming, and flag anything that won't work before it goes up.
Most dining rooms look best around 2700K, a warm white, with dimming for evening service. Kitchens and prep areas need brighter, cooler light, around 4000K, so staff can see what they're doing.
Usually because the dimmer and the LED driver aren't compatible. We match dimmers to fixtures, or swap drivers, so lights dim smoothly without flicker or buzz.
Yes. For upgrades and repairs we work before opening or after close, so you don't lose a service.
