In April 2014, with the rapid development of China's economy and urbanization, some large cities have become commercial and tourism centers throughout Asia. This has led to an unprecedented development in the hospitality industry, with more and more luxury hotels being built to provide guests with a top-class luxury customer experience. In today's global awareness, it is the consensus of all countries in the world to provide these hotels with the best environmental protection and energy saving options to enhance the hotel's brand image.
According to the 2010 energy report of the relevant state departments, in the hotel electricity consumption statistics, the lighting share is as high as 20. This is undoubtedly a favorable financial incentive and a good commercial start for hotel operators. The change in lighting scheme will not only benefit the guests, but also bring better energy saving effects to the hotel. More importantly, any change in the lighting scheme will create a comfortable atmosphere for the guests, and at the same time show the hotel's high-quality brand positioning and establish a good reputation.
2014 Hotel Lighting Trend LED Technology Announces the End of the Incandescent Age In recent years, Chinese hotels have begun to adopt new lighting technologies. The emergence of LED lighting has beautified the entire hotel environment, switching from the original inefficient energy-consuming lighting to the LED lighting solution has also brought huge benefits to the hotel, including significantly reducing energy consumption, reducing operating costs and increasing operating profit. From the lobby to the guest rooms, to the conference rooms, restaurants and bars, the advanced and longer-lasting LED technology meets the new requirements of the hotel's environmental protection and energy saving, and also provides excellent lighting quality for the various spaces of the hotel.
Compared to incandescent lamps and compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs), although LEDs are more expensive, LEDs are more energy efficient. CFL bulbs last about 6 months, 10 times more than ordinary incandescent bulbs and 75% more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs, while LEDs use lower energy consumption and last up to 50,000 hours. At present, different types of CFL lamps or LED lamps on the market can be applied to most lamps, which makes it easier for hotel operators to reduce energy consumption and maintenance costs, while also providing more beautiful and pleasant lighting effects.
The versatile hotel space pattern incorporates other architectural elements such as galleries or restaurants into its own architectural style, which is now a new trend in the hospitality industry. As the architectural style of the hotel changes, the matching lighting design will change accordingly to create a unique and appropriate lighting atmosphere that is more suitable for the hotel brand image and architectural style.
At the same time, the hotel will reserve more space for meetings and business functions. As part of this transformation, it is extremely important to cater to the lighting needs of these professional audiovisual environments, such as the lighting needs of video conferencing venues. Multi-level lighting design and wireless control A comprehensive and multi-level lighting solution will deliver the ideal lighting environment, lighting functions and lighting targets to maximize the appropriate lighting for your location and space. This versatile lighting scheme also gives guests more control over lighting.
One way to create a suitable space lighting at any time is to use a light-controlled induction integrated wireless lighting sensor for daylight harvesting. This approach provides illumination only when needed, reduces energy costs, and helps avoid excessive lighting waste. Wireless sensors reduce the time and cost of installing running wires in hidden areas (such as behind walls and ceilings) and make it easy to reconfigure space in the future.
Increased systemic energy savings With the development of sensors and more advanced energy-saving technologies, hoteliers are exploring how they can more fully integrate lighting into their overall building systems. Nowadays, in many hotels, simply insert the card into the control switch to activate the lighting system, water heater, air conditioner, or even the radio or TV in the room. This simple change reduces the amount of energy wasted by the room being vacant but the associated equipment is still in standby. And that's just one of the many ways to use system automation to help save energy.
Although there are many new trends in lighting design in the hotel sector, the overall lighting scheme still has to take into account the different characteristics and unique geographical location of each hotel chain. Lighting plays a very important role in the layout of the hotel. A warm and welcoming lighting atmosphere allows guests to feel the positive brand image of the hotel. However, knowing when and how to invest in hotel lighting is not an easy task.
