1, ask the professional lighting consultant for advice.
You may not notice the hotel lighting when it is well designed, but you can see it at a glance when it is not well designed. Now we can often see the lighting layout and design links of some projects, which are often left to electrical engineers to arrange, and the final design style always backfires. However, if there is a professional lighting designer as a consultant, the lighting design style can be defined according to the overall design of the hotel. This is the key to creating a good first impression for customers, so as to minimize the risk.
2. Adapt to different spatial layouts
The design style of hotel lobby is changing quietly, and the corresponding lighting design should also change accordingly. In traditional design, hotel lobby, restaurant, leisure bar and front desk are generally isolated from each other, but now more and more are placed in a unified open space. Therefore, lighting also needs to be adjusted according to such changes in order to adapt to the ever-changing use space in a day. For example, when you eat in the morning, you need fresh and bright lights, and you need to create a warm and comfortable lighting atmosphere at night. Other areas (such as bars) need to design corresponding atmosphere according to different functions.
3. Be loyal to the original design concept
Lamps can attract customers' attention. However, more importantly, they conform to 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 rely on their own functional characteristics to enhance the overall effect of architecture or decoration.
4. Try to consider the lighting of various spaces.
The lighting arrangement of the tunnel is not limited to the end, but also can be in the middle. But when it comes to hotel lighting design, corridors are often ignored. Corridor is not only an important passage from the lobby to the room, but also an important part connecting different areas of the hotel. However, when reflecting the lighting function, we should also consider the transformation of human vision in different spaces, and the color temperature of corridor lights should not change too much.
The lighting of the room should be as flexible as possible.
One room is multi-purpose. The lighting of hotel rooms should not only have enough working brightness, but also be warm and comfortable. Therefore, customers should be given full choice in lighting control. For example, private bathrooms and public living rooms should be connected and separated. If the lighting is well controlled, it can be cleverly separated in a space.
6. Don't be too complicated
Have you ever found the switch in the hotel bathroom? Therefore, the indication of lighting should avoid being intuitive and unclear. Nowadays, the hotel room lighting system is introducing a system that uses tablet computers and mobile phones to help guests manage lighting and all services. Guests don't even need to download any application, just simply scan the QR code to achieve the effect of control and service. So, again, convenience is the key.
7. If there is an opportunity, try to introduce natural light.
Hotels without sunshine are a thing of the past. In the past, rooms without windows (so no natural light) were usually convenient for work, such as reducing the potential glare of the sun and maximizing the wall space. But at present, no sunshine means no selling point and no attraction, so try to incorporate the introduction of natural light into the design concept.
8, intelligent control to improve lighting efficiency
Intelligent lighting can save energy and provide a certain degree of comfort and convenience. The concept of intelligent lighting also includes using the natural light of the sun to reduce the use of artificial lighting and intelligently turn it off when people leave the room. Intelligent lighting can be linked with other systems at the same time, so as to adjust the lighting brightness and ambient light under various conditions.
