I am interested in aspects of lighting in hotels, as one of my customers has asked me to set up new lighting.
Lighting is massively underestimated but can make or break a hotel. Guests need to feel comfortable and relaxed.
Of particular importance is lighting in function rooms. You want companies to come back year after year and this can be a major money earner for hotels.
Would strongly recommend that the light you install all be dimmable. That way you can tune the brightness to the precise level you think is optimal.
In hotel restaurants, for example, this can be taken a step further: brighter in the morning for a fresh feel, but dimmer at night for a romantic mood.
It is important to give your hotel rooms an intimate lighting.
Note that different room sizes will require different lights.
Whatever lights you install, make sure they have a very long lifespan - you do not want to choose something cheap with a shorter lifespan and then have to replace burnt out lights. In a hotel, maintenance is very disruptive and expensive.
