Hotel Lighting with LED Strip Lights

6th Nov 2024|

• Inspiration

Hotel guests are quick to develop their first impressions, and lighting plays a crucial role in this process. Even if a hotel’s interior design is well planned, ineffective lighting can throw a wrench in the entire presentation, leaving guests feeling uncomfortable and unwelcome

Advancements in LED technology have allowed for a whole range of attractive, efficient, and cost-saving options for hotels, hostels, and guest houses worldwide.

In this blog, we will explore some of these options for Hotel lighting with LED strip lights, particularly focusing on lobbies, bedrooms, bathrooms, bars, restaurants, patios, and outdoor areas.

Hotel Lobby Lighting

Hotel lobby lighting strongly impacts a guest’s initial impression of a hotel, setting the stage for a positive experience throughout their stay.

For luxury hotels or those seeking a sleek, modern feel, indirect cove lighting is an excellent choice. The technique involves running LED strip lights in ledges or recesses along the top edge of a wall or ceiling mounts to shower indirect, evenly distributed light across the lobby ceiling. The technique is popular because of its high quality and the even application of light. It also conceals light fixtures, giving the lobby a more elegant, simplified feel. For lobby cove lighting, ambient lighting, and highlighting artwork, use high CRI LED strip lights as accent lighting to render colors as vividly as possible, providing a particularly stunning presentation.

Another popular lighting trend for use in hotel lobbies is the use of LED light sheets to backlight onyx or other translucent wall features as well as under the countertops of guest check-in desks.

Hotel Guest Room Lighting

Guests at your hotel will remember the atmosphere of the rooms, and lighting is sure to play a critical role.

For hotel room lighting, as with hotel lobbies, indirect cove or valance lighting is a great option because of the luxurious, elegant, and evenly distributed light it provides for your guests. Setting up LED remotes and dimmers in the room will give guests control of their lights’ temperature and brightness, providing greater control over their particular mood or temperament.

LED strip lights can also easily be installed under room furnishings — such as under beds, behind headboards, and under cabinets or counters — for an accented, distinctive, and inviting bedroom feel that will make your guests feel comfortable.

Hotel Bathroom Lighting

Many hotels forget the importance of bathroom presentation for guests. By creating a distinctive, romantic lighting atmosphere in the bathroom, you will allow guests to unwind and find a relaxing space at your hotel.

Use Wet Location LED Strip Lights as accents under the cabinets and counters, along mirrors, or in the shower to create a relaxing atmosphere. Alternatively, you can install Color Changing RGB+Dynamic Tunable Lighting to create a unique lighting experience for your guests that they’ll never forget.

Hotel Restaurants and Bars

LED strip lights can be cut, curved, and connected to fit virtually anywhere in a hotel, restaurant, or bar. Draft your plan or get some advice from one of our lighting experts to create a beautiful, distinctive, diffused lighting environment for guests to enjoy while they spend memorable moments dining at the hotel restaurant or bar.

The versatility of LED strip lights means they work well underneath countertops, around bar backs, and even tucked away into hidden corners and alcoves. Bar lighting creates a unique atmosphere for customers, and if you have a unique or organically shaped feature in your bar or restaurant, LED light modules and LED neon strips are great for surfaces that require a horizontal bend radius.

For restaurant kitchens, using some of the brightest LED strip lights on the market will increase staff concentration and precision, helping the cooks to ensure the food comes out fast and that it comes out right, creating a first-class culinary experience for your guests to remember.

Hotel Patio and Outdoor Lighting

One advantage of LED technology is that the miniature light-emitting diodes can easily be encased and protected from outdoor elements— making them great for highlighting outdoor architectural features, signs, as well as bridges and other outdoor structures such as gazebos. When choosing the correct outdoor LED light, it is important to take into account brightness as well as durability.

When making your choice, take note of the IP Rating. Each IP Rating has two numbers which range from 1 through 9. The first number refers to protection against solid objects, while the second refers to protection against liquid objects. Our outdoor LED strip lights are fully weatherproof and built to withstand the elements.

Cut Operation Costs

LED strip lights can produce in excess of 100 lumens for every watt of energy used. That means a huge amount of light is delivered for only a small amount of energy required. Furthermore, LEDs last longer—delivering 50,000 hours of light while containing no hazardous materials. Contrast that with other “green” options such as CFLs, which typically last only 10,000 to 20,000 hours and contain mercury, a highly toxic water and earth contaminant.

Due to their versatility, customizability, and quality of light produced, LED strip lights offer tremendous value for your next hotel lighting or renovation project.
