Hotel lighting types

Hotel lighting materials, crystal lamp, sheepskin lamp, copper lamp, wrought iron lamp, etc.

Hotel lighting purchase
Timeliness, durability The lifespan of lamps and lanterns must be at least ten years or more to meet the requirements of star-rated hotels. Because general small repairs will not replace lamps, the scope of human resources involved is too large.
The number of flexible star hotel lamps is over 10,000, so replacing the light source also involves a large amount of human resources, so the flexibility of the lamp is another consideration. And the ideal lamp selection is to load and unload the light source without affecting the fixed (positioning) components of the lamp.
This includes all aspects of the lamp itself. Take the general ceiling downlight as an example, the quality of the spray cup (tim), the smoothness of the reflective cup, when the lamp is installed in the ceiling, and the tightness of the ceiling surface (slate/wood veneer).
The projection index, the Cutof Angle of the lamp, the impact of glare, how the light source is collected, the elasticity of the projection direction of the lamp, the scalability of the accessories, etc., all affect the selection of lamps. Especially in terms of the scalability of accessories, very careful consideration should be taken, because most of the "projection angle", "color correction", "glare prevention" and "accurate projection/lighting" on the projection index rely on these accessories to create the overall atmosphere.

Lighting design scheme for different regions
Hotel exterior wall architectural lighting, in order to control glare and not affect indoor customer rest, it is not advisable to use large-area floodlighting, and narrow light/projection light local lighting should be used
The hotel lobby lighting is equipped with large chandeliers, flower lamps, and other personalized lamps. Embedded downlights are used for gypsy arrangement. It is recommended to use dimming equipment. There are always dark slot lights on the wall to form a ceiling holding effect. Road sign lights are set up as needed to guide customers.
Hotel room lighting should use warm colors and a color temperature of around 3300K to create a warm and comfortable environment, making it easy for guests to rest
Hotel restaurant lighting, restaurant lighting should be designed according to the differences in food culture. According to the requirements of restaurant flavor characteristics, regional culture, etc., to meet flexible needs.
Conference room lighting, star-rated conference rooms can be considered. The overall indirect lighting method is the main one, and the rostrum area is relatively independent. Downlights and grille lights are used to create the atmosphere of the rostrum. Intelligent control mode is directly adopted.
Hotel multi-function hall lighting, dimming the lights, selecting low-power metal halide lamps, dimmable fluorescent lamps should be equipped with dimmable electronic ballasts. Consider meeting the requirements of shooting.

Hotel lighting design skills
Overall ambient lighting is the main light source of the space, providing sufficient brightness when guests and employees move around. Generally, the illumination should be between 100-200x.
Working Lighting Working lighting is the lighting method used in a specific area, which can provide a more concentrated lighting effect and produce a higher illuminance level. The illuminance level of working lighting should be between 300 and 600lx. Compared with the overall ambient lighting, the illuminance level contrast ratio of working lighting is 3:1, and the difference can be detected with the naked eye.
Emphasis lighting, in order to increase the accent effect in the scene, needs to produce a more concentrated lighting effect, which helps to increase the depth of field and contrast, and can better highlight the shape, texture, finish and color of the displayed items. In general, the recommended ratio of accent lighting to overall ambient lighting is 5:1, but this also depends on the items displayed. If the displayed items are darker in color, then the ratio needs to be increased to highlight the details of the displayed items.
Decorative lighting, decorative lighting mainly has two purposes: to enrich the lighting level of the hotel environment; to enhance the sense of design of the space. Commonly used decorative lamps are: chandeliers, wall lamps, chandeliers, table lamps and floor lamps. The use of these lamps indoors can not only enhance the interest of the space, but also benefit the overall lighting layout. While improving the sense of space decoration, aesthetics and character, it also strengthens the theme and style of the space, which is an important image of brand perception.
