Eurolight
A hotel is a comprehensive commercial service space that integrates living, office, dining, and entertainment. Systematic and professional lighting design can help hotels enhance their brand image, create a better stay experience, and achieve commercial value. Today Eurolight will analyze the ideas for hotel lighting in Nigeria.
Hotel lighting selection principles
Hotel design places extremely high demands on the interior lighting environment, considering professional technical requirements such as illumination, color temperature, heat dissipation, and infrared and ultraviolet radiation. Special attention should be paid to light control and beam angle. Luminaires must feature an ultra-high glare reduction (UGR) design, enhancing the hotel’s high-end quality while creating a softer, more comfortable experience for guests. Hotel lighting must avoid large light spots, requiring a precise light distribution system to accurately match beam angles to different areas.
Entryway Lighting
The entrance area, the core of a hotel’s guest reception, requires particularly important lighting design. The lighting design of the entranceway needs to provide guests with clear directional guidance and create a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Commonly used lighting fixtures in passageways include ceiling lights, recessed LED downlights, and aluminum profile lights, which provide bright and even illumination. Furthermore, the use of subtle lighting can add a sense of warmth and romance to the entrance. During holidays, space can be reserved for hanging colored lights to enhance the festive atmosphere. Regarding design parameters, the illumination should be controlled between 300-500 lux, and the color temperature maintained between 3000-4000K to ensure lighting comfort and energy efficiency. The color rendering index (Ra) should be greater than or equal to 85 to faithfully reproduce the natural colors of objects.
Lobby lounge lighting
This area needs to accommodate customers’ brief waiting and rest periods. The required illumination is approximately 200 lux, creating a tranquil and comfortable environment. A dimming function can be configured to save energy at night. Ceiling lights, chandeliers, or surface downlighters are all good choices for lighting. Natural light can be introduced through overhead sampling to enhance the lighting effect. Table lamps or column wall lights can be installed behind the sofa to add warmth and elegance to the rest area. If a flower bed is provided, dedicated lighting can be installed to illuminate the flowers and plants, creating a natural and harmonious atmosphere.
Reception lighting
The lobby reception area emphasizes a balance between decoration and functionality. The top decoration can be concealed with light strips to add depth to the space. At the same time, considering the coordination between natural lighting and artificial lighting, large chandeliers or lanterns are usually used to highlight the hotel style. Recessed downlights or pendant cylinder spotlights can be arranged in a star-shaped pattern and equipped with dimming downlight to adjust the lighting brightness as needed.
Hotel corridor lighting
As a vital corridor in a hotel, the corridor’s lighting design is crucial. Maintaining 24-hour illumination ensures both functionality and energy efficiency. Energy-saving lamps with excellent color rendering are used, and only door lighting is retained late at night. To break the hallway’s dull feel, light partitions are used to illuminate corridor objects, breaking up the corridor’s length. Furthermore, clever use of step lights and indoor wall lights provides essential guidance for guests late at night when other lighting fixtures are turned off.
Guest room lighting
The guest rooms are the core area of the hotel, so lighting design is crucial. Create a warm and cozy environment through anti-glare downlights, recessed adjustable downlights, and flexible lighting options. In the bedroom, choose an LED light source below 3,500K; in the bathroom, choose a light source above 3,500K to highlight the clean and refreshing atmosphere. Also, avoid inaccurate wall lamp placement or improper lighting selection, which can affect the coordination of the interior design.
Bathroom lighting
Bathroom lighting design requires attention to waterproofing and moisture-proofing, as well as fixture selection. IP65 waterproof downlights are typically installed in recessed locations to ensure safety and comfort. Bedside lighting should also be designed for convenient lighting, with centralized control panels providing convenient and flexible control. Generally, the mirror light is also necessary.
