Lighting can make or break a hotel - if it is not done well, customers will feel ill at ease and will not enter or return to it.

I would recommend dimmable warm white gimbles. The dimmable function can ensure that the brightness level can be adjusted throughout the day such as in the dining room, where it should be darker at night.

Always make sure that the light you get for your hotel have a long lifespan - at least 50,000 hours. Maintenance is too expensive to replace them.

Many studies have shown that hotel guests actually included lighting in their reviews, specifically about lighting in their rooms, so it is absolutely 100% critical to get right.

Concentrate on two things most of all:

- Lighting in the hotel foyer - that is first impression and need to be grand mansion lighting

- Lighting in the hotel rooms - that is where the guests will spend most of their time so must be perfect

In hotel rooms, make sure that the lights switches are completely and utterly intuitive. Guests do not want to spend 10 minutes every time they want to change the light.

All lights get discontinued so buy plenty of spares when you fit out a hotel. Otherwise it can get very ugly.

Lamps are now an essential item for hotels - both desk lamps and bedside lamps. They should have a stylish design.

Also I would add floor lamps.
