What are the requirements for hotel lighting design?

The requirements and precautions for hotel lighting design are as follows - compiled by Sun's Lighting:

1. Ask professional lighting consultants for their opinions

When doing hotel lighting design You won't necessarily notice it when it's done right, but when it's done badly, you can tell at a glance. Nowadays, it is often seen that the lighting layout and design aspects of some projects are often left to electrical engineers. The final designed style always backfires. However, if you have a professional lighting designer as a consultant, you can define the lighting design style based on the overall design of the hotel. This is the key to creating a great first impression on your customers and thus minimizing risk.

2. Adapt to different space layouts

The design style of hotel lobby is quietly changing, and the corresponding lighting design should also follow the changes. In traditional designs, hotel lobbies, restaurants, lounges and front desks are generally isolated from each other, but now they are increasingly placed in a unified open space. Therefore, lighting also needs to be adjusted according to such changes to adapt to the changing use of the space throughout the day. For example, when dining in the morning, you need refreshing and bright lighting, while in the evening, you need to create a warm and comfortable lighting atmosphere. Other areas (such as bars) need to design corresponding atmospheres according to different functions.

3. Stay true to the original design concept

Lamps can attract customers’ attention. However, it is more important that they fit in with the overall design concept of the hotel. The same applies to hotel rooms and public areas. As a part of the overall design, lamps or any other lighting equipment should use their own functional characteristics to enhance the overall effect of the building or decoration.

4. Try to consider lighting in various spaces

The lighting arrangement of the tunnel is not limited to the end, but also in the middle. But when it comes to hotel lighting design, corridors are often overlooked. The corridor is not only an important passage from the lobby to the room, but also an important part of connecting different areas of the hotel. However, when reflecting the lighting function, the conversion of human vision in different spaces should also be taken into consideration, and the color temperature of the aisle lights should not change too much.

5. Room lighting should be as flexible as possible

One room, multiple uses. The lighting in your hotel room must not only be bright enough for work, but also warm and comfortable. Therefore, customers should be given full choices in terms of lighting control. For example, a private bathroom and a public living room must be connected and separated. If they are controlled by lighting, they can be cleverly isolated in one space.

6. Don’t complicate things too much

Have you ever had the experience of not being able to find the switch in the hotel bathroom? Therefore, lighting instructions should avoid being unintuitive and unclear. Today's hotel room lighting systems are introducing systems that use tablets and mobile phones to help guests manage lighting and all services. Guests do not even need to download any apps, they can simply scan the QR code to achieve control and services. Effect. So, again, convenience is key.

7. If you have the opportunity, try to introduce natural light

Hotels without daylight are a thing of the past. Previously, rooms without windows (and therefore natural light) often facilitated working, reducing potential glare from the sun and maximizing wall space. Nowadays, however, no daylight equals no selling point and no appeal, so where possible, try to incorporate the introduction of natural light into the design concept.

8. Intelligent control improves lighting efficiency

Smart lighting can save energy and provide a certain degree of comfort and convenience. The concept from smart lighting also involves using the sun's natural light to reduce the use of artificial lighting, as well as intelligently switching off when people leave the room. Smart lighting can be linked with other systems at the same time to adjust lighting brightness and ambient light under various conditions.
