Hotels need to have inviting lighting to create a welcoming atmosphere for guests. They also need to have at least three levels of lighting: general, decorative and for work (for employees). These characteristics may lead to high levels of electricity consumption. Hence, it is essential to invest in improving the efficiency of lighting systems, in order to reduce operating costs, without compromising the quality and comfort of spaces. Lighting can be optimized through two points:
Use of more efficient components
Lighting in a hotel may represent 40% of electricity consumption. Therefore, our first recommendation is to replace conventional bulbs with LED bulbs. LED lighting is much more efficient than any other technology; It is even more effective than technology known as energy saving.
With LED lighting solutions, it is possible to create a welcoming and at the same time efficient interior design, which combines warm and ambient light, long-lasting light and lower energy costs.
It's also worth noting that LED lights emit almost no heat, so they make rooms cooler, especially in the summer months. In this way, they contribute to reducing refrigeration costs in the hottest months.
Control systems integration
A hotel never closes. The movement of guests and employees occurs during the day, as well as at night and in the early morning. Presence sensors are essential to help save money and provide good lighting in corridors, receptions, parkings, outdoor areas and social halls.
You must keep in mind that in presence sensors, you must install LED lamps
Some customers report that they need to frequently change the bulbs in their motion sensors because they burn out easily. This happens when fluorescent lamps or lights are installed and they were not designed to be turned on and off several times during the day.
Fluorescent lamps have a tungsten filament and gas in their composition that wears out every time the product is turned on. Therefore, they are recommended for environments that need to be lit for several hours in a row, without the need to turn the light on and off frequently.
LED technology allows the product to be turned on and off as many times as necessary, without affecting the operation of the lamp. Furthermore, the savings will be greater because LED lamps use less energy and have a much longer lifespan than fluorescent or incandescent lamps.
