1, lobby: lobby space is mainly divided into the lobby entrance, the main hall, the service desk and rest area. This area lighting should maintain consistency, the use of warm light source, through the brightness contrast, the formation of interesting, continuous and undulating transition between dark and light, from the whole to create a friendly welcoming atmosphere.
2, lobby entrance: the lobby entrance including the entrance door and vestibule, is the transition into the hotel space, the need to give guests a clear indication of the entrance location of the guidelines. Here in addition to creating a comfortable visual environment, but also to emphasize its friendly atmosphere. Here the use of energy-saving downlights to give basic functional lighting, in addition to indirect lighting techniques can be used, T4, T5 lamps hidden in the ceiling top groove structure, by illuminating the structure of the ceiling, enrich the spatial hierarchy of the region, to give customers a good first impression.
3, lobby main hall: the main hall is the hotel to provide guests with waiting, communication place, but also reflects the hotel grade, to attract guests to stay in an important place in the space to pay more attention to the strong decorative. Here can be evenly distributed lights, so that the horizontal surface to achieve a higher brightness (illuminance of 300LUX). The main hall of the star hotel can consider the application of natural lighting, at the same time in the use of artificial lighting need to pay attention to the harmonization with the overall decorative environment. In order to make customers in the exchange can clearly see each other's expressions and details, we can use grille downlights as the focus of lighting, through hidden lights, wall lamps to emphasize the decorative quality of star hotels.
4, lobby service desk area: service desk area lighting in the entire lobby requires relatively bright, to achieve eye-catching effect, the illumination level should be higher than other areas. In order to avoid glare, the lighting of the service desk using hidden, high color rendering light source, to facilitate communication between guests and receptionists, as well as accurate and fast procedures. Chain-type hotels should also strengthen its chain store logo and the back wall illumination; star hotel reception area is generally larger, pay attention to highlight the characteristics of its decorative style, the use of concealed slot lights and table lamps as local lighting, wall lamps as decorative lighting, to ensure that the lamps and lanterns of the style, color and decorative environment in line with.
5, lobby / lounge area: lounge area will often incorporate some unique elements, such as human elements, thematic elements, decorative elements. Lighting applications should not only consider the functionality, but also take into account the artistic, moderate brightness. The use of warm yellow light (3000K), strong color reproduction (color rendering Ra>80) energy-saving downlights as the basic lighting, ceiling lights as auxiliary lighting. In order to reflect the rest function, pay attention to the control of glare, the best choice of light source hidden lamps. Star hotel rest area lighting should have a sense of hierarchy, while paying attention to the surrounding environment in line with the focus on the perfect integration of decorative style and lighting; the use of energy-saving downlights as the basic lighting, equipped with a warm yellow light (3000K), high color rendering (Ra>90) light source; smallpox lamps as auxiliary lighting, dark slot lamps as the scenario lighting, highlighting the top of the space level; floor lamps as decorative lighting, reflecting hotel Taste.
6, elevator hall: elevator hall lighting using a combination of functional and decorative lighting. Here you can choose wide light downlights on the overall environment illuminated, combined with narrow light downlights or ceiling lamps on the elevator entrance using key lighting, choose 4300K (warm white light) light source, bright light environment with the role of instructions, and bring a sense of security to customers. Star hotels in order to shape the style and taste, and at the same time to ensure the integrity of the space with other spaces, you can increase the wall lamps, ceiling dark grooves and other decorative lighting methods.
7, channel area: channel lighting is mainly to guide and safety, the appropriate illumination and color temperature not only make the guests get a sense of security, but also create a warm and friendly atmosphere; the use of energy-saving downlights as the basic lighting, reflecting the guidance and safety requirements; in order to make the channel space vivid, usually in the wall installation of decorative paintings or placing artifacts; the use of smallpox lamps as the focus of lighting, to emphasize the role of the line of sight. It plays the role of emphasizing the line of sight. Chain hotels generally have narrower passages and can add extended light slots at the top. Star hotels can add decorative wall lamps on both sides, while wall lamps also play a guiding role. Ceiling canopy hidden dark channel light, increase channel brightness and sense of space.
8, guest room / bedroom: guest room is the core area of the hotel, should be as intimate as home. Here is mainly to rest, anti-glare light in the guest room is also very important to use; lighting to reflect the warmth and relaxation, and relatively low illuminance, to achieve tranquility, peace of mind. Desk using desk lamps as local lighting for business documents; dressing mirror lighting using good color rendering mirror lamp; bedside reading lighting can be used wall lamps or table lamps, equipped with adjustable light source.
9, guest room / bathroom: bathroom lighting to soft and uniform is appropriate, should be combined with general lighting and mirror lighting, lighting to create a bathroom fresh, clean, while meeting the requirements of local lighting; the use of anti-fog downlights or ceiling lamps to complete the basic lighting, the use of energy-saving downlights combined with anti-fog ceiling lamps with the local lighting, the illuminance requirements of the relatively high (300LUX); in front of the toilet can be installed ceiling lamps for easy reading Square can be installed in front of the toilet ceiling light for easy reading; bathtub above the anti-fog downlights for basic lighting, sink can be completed with downlights or spotlights for local lighting; mirror illumination should be more than 280 LUX.
10, dining area / Chinese food: Chinese restaurants compared to Western restaurants to be much higher illumination, but the brightness contrast should not be too strong, the light should be uniform. Point light source, strip light source or various types of chandeliers, can meet the requirements of good lighting. Table desktop lighting using high color rendering lamps and lanterns, the real restore the quality of dishes and color tone, cause customers appetite. Star hotel Chinese food is relatively high grade, lighting should be rich in three-dimensional sense. In the restaurant lighting applications, wall lamps or floodlights to correct the general lighting of the plane, to create a high taste of the dining environment.
11, dining area / Western: Western-style restaurant should be combined with Western culture and dining habits, the overall atmosphere of the lighting should be warm and moody, the brightness is generally lower than the Chinese restaurant. Table desktop with high color rendering lamps and lanterns for key lighting, highlighting the color of the dishes, enhance the appetite of the diners.
12, dining area / multi-function hall: multi-function hall integrated banquet, meeting and other functions, should pay attention to the overall lighting, local lighting and key lighting collocation. Overall lighting needs to grasp the hotel indoor lighting environment, including brightness, type of light source, light color, etc.; focus lighting, more flexible adjustment of the angle of illumination lamps and lanterns, to achieve the effect of lighting changes in different scenes. Multi-function halls should be equipped with intelligent dimming system to realize the switching of different use scenes. Star hotel multifunction hall lighting design and decoration style and grade is closely related to the choice of lamps and lanterns are mostly adjustable angle, high-power lamps and lanterns and light sources.
13, leisure and entertainment areas / coffee bar / bar: lighting is the main performance of leisure and entertainment environment, the rendering of the atmosphere, the overall brightness should not be too high, static and dynamic combination of lighting effects to make the space more vivid. Lighting unique spirit will shape the coffee shop, bar unique flavor, arousing people's desire for tranquility. Here can be used to meet the basic function of grille spotlights lighting; ceiling lamps as the focus of lighting, to create a soft cafe, bar deep sense of space. The lighting requirements of the leisure and entertainment area of the star hotel can better render the atmosphere, and it is recommended to use flexible lighting fixtures, concealed trough lights and decorative lighting to shape a unique style and taste.
Different lamps and lanterns selection
In addition, for star hotels, its lamps and lanterns selection and demand and general hotel is different. From the qualities and needs of star hotels, there are several major considerations, which we need to pay attention to when the hotel lighting design:
1, time, durability
General star hotels, about five years for a small refurbishment and maintenance, about ten years for a large refurbishment and maintenance. In other words, the lamp life of at least ten years or more, to meet the requirements of star-rated hotels.
Because the general small repairs will not replace the lamps and lanterns, the scope of human resources involved is too large. This means that in the selection of lamps and lanterns, lamps and lanterns of the most heat and pressure of the place, including reflector cover, heat dissipation components and fixed (positioning) components, quality is very important.
2, flexibility
General star hotels using light sources, the previous life of about 2000 to 4000 hours. Therefore, 10 years of lamps will require the replacement of a number of times the light source. Star hotel lamps and lanterns are more than 10,000, so the replacement of the light source is also involved in a very large number of human resources, so the flexibility of the lamps and lanterns is another key consideration. And the most ideal selection of lamps and lanterns is in the lamps and lanterns do not need to pull the fixed (positioning) components, will be able to load and unload the light source. This not only saves replacement time, but also provides a very positive protection of the interior decoration.
3, detail modeling
This includes all aspects of the lamp itself. Take the general ceiling downlight as an example, its cup (trim) of the spraying quality (if it is metal, how the surface quality), the smoothness of the reflector (if it is a frosted reflector, the uniformity of the sandblasted), when the lamps and lanterns are installed in the ceiling, and the ceiling surface (gypsum board / wood veneer) of the tightness (whether there is a leakage of light), and so on, we need to pay attention to the details. There is also a point, need to mention in passing, in addition to hardware (lamps), installers (craftsmanship) is also critical to the decoration side to make sure that the lamps and lanterns to the correct installation method installation.
4. Throw light index
Cutoff Angle of the lamps, glare impact, how the light source collection, the flexibility of the lamp projection direction, the degree of expansion of the accessories, etc., are all affecting the selection of lamps and lanterns. Especially in the expandability of the accessories to be considered very carefully, because the control of the projection index on the "projection angle", "color / hue more positive", "glare prevention", "Accurate projection/illumination" and so on are largely dependent on these accessories to create the overall atmosphere.
The same demand
From the hotel lighting design of environmental considerations, the future of the hotel lighting design, whether domestic or foreign, are certainly inseparable from the "environmental protection" this major premise. Whether it is market demand or design development, are inseparable from this "environmental" concept. Market demand on the "environmental protection", can be interpreted as equipment on the environmental protection, is how to balance the various factors that cause pollution. This is also an important responsibility of lighting designers. These include:
1, power consumption: the production of carbon dioxide, increasing greenhouse emissions.
2. Light source life/luminaire life: the time it can serve the project.
3, discarded pollution: tungsten or halogen light source, although its life is relatively short, but the substances contained in itself less pollution of the environment. On the contrary, such as energy-saving tubes, life relative to halogen and so on for a long time, but when discarded, the degree of environmental pollution is higher. Probably now, if you do not consider the investment cost, LED will be more environmentally friendly light source options.
4, the heat of the light source: the heat generated by the light source / light and increase the load of air conditioning.
5, light pollution: In addition to avoiding excessive lighting, we should also start from the design concept, with the special accessories of the lamps and lanterns, try to control the light projection, the unwanted light collection in the lamps and lanterns.
Integrating the above points, I suggest that lighting designers should work together with a combination of lighting engineers, architects, and physicists to discuss and study a comprehensive environmental protection index, and make an objective environmental scoring standard for luminaires, which can be provided to consultants and producers for use.
