Yin Zhihua discusses the current status of hotel lighting design at home and abroad



Yin Zhihua, executive director of Hong Kong's Swiss Gaohua Design (Far East) Office, believes that in the design of domestic hotel space, the communication between “lighting design/lighting design” and interior design is lack of interaction and deficiencies, and needs to be changed. It is necessary to fundamentally change the status and role of “lighting design/lighting design” to improve the overall domestic hotel space.

The "maximum demand" for domestic hotel space lighting design
"Lighting design" should cover a much wider range than "lighting design." Practitioners engaged in "light design" should clearly understand and understand that "lighting design" is only one part of "lighting design". Regardless of the basic lighting in each space, "lighting design" should consider how to integrate "light" (this "virtual" thing) into the hotel space. In the design of hotel space lighting, how to strengthen cooperation with interior designers, architects, landscape architects and other design teams, so that "light design" is integrated into the overall space, rather than decoupling from other design links. This is the "maximum demand" I mentioned at the beginning, that is, to reform or evolve the concept of "lighting design."
At the same time, the role of “lighters or lighting engineers” in hotel projects is very important and should not be inferior to other designers. This is the first "demand" of the current situation. It is also because the concept of "lighting design" should be reformed to fundamentally improve or further improve the hotel's space environment. This is also the current status of “lighting/lighting” design in domestic hotel projects, and it cannot be “as is” with other designs.
In addition, due to current national energy-saving regulations, many times "lighting design / lighting design" and "mechatronics design" conflict. To a certain extent, this "current situation" is also due to the current understanding of "lighting design/lighting design" in China, and it is still focused on the "skills operation" rather than the "humanized/artistic" design direction. . “Lighting design” should be double-sided, like interior design, with a “skilled operation” design and a large artistic and aesthetic design element. The above mentioned are some of the current needs and current conditions of the “lighting/lighting design” concept of domestic hotels.



Star Hotel Lighting Selection and Demand For the selection of star hotel lighting, I think there are several main considerations, and these considerations are based on the characteristics and needs of star hotels.
Now let me try to analyze the characteristics of star hotels. No matter what level of hotel, it is a long-term investment and a long-term profit recovery project, so time is the first consideration. The hotel's customer service, especially star-rated hotels, is headed by thoughtfulness, so the impact on customers during maintenance or daily operations will be minimized, so durability and flexibility are another consideration. Star-rated hotels are often presented in the market or in front of customers in a high-profile style. Therefore, the details of the selection of lamps and the projection index are another important consideration.
1. Timeliness, durability General star hotel, a small renovation service for about five years, a large renovation and repair for about ten years. In other words, the life of the luminaire must be at least ten years or more to meet the requirements of a star hotel.
Because the general small maintenance does not replace the lamps, the scope of human resources involved is too large. This means that the quality of the most heated and stressed parts of the luminaire, including the reflector cup, the heat sink, and the fixing (positioning) components, is very important.
2. Flexibility The light source used in general star hotels has a life span of about 2,000 to 4,000 hours. Therefore, in the past 10 years, the lamps will require a lot of light sources to be replaced. The number of star-rated hotel lamps is over 10,000, so the replacement of the light source involves a huge human resource, so the flexibility of the lamp is another consideration. The most ideal luminaire selection is to load and unload the light source without the need for a fixed (positioning) component that pulls the luminaire. In addition to saving replacement time, it also provides positive protection for interior decoration.
3. Detailing As mentioned above, star-rated hotels can express style and style, which is the success of interior design, but the details of the lighting style are also very important. This includes all aspects of the luminaire itself. For example: take the general ceiling light as an example, its spray quality of the trim, (if metal, the quality of the surface), the smoothness of the reflector, ( If it is a frosted reflector, the uniformity of sandblasting), we need to pay attention to the details of the tightness of the ceiling (gypsum board/wood veneer) when the lamp is installed in the ceiling, etc. Another point, by the way, in addition to the hardware (lamps), the installation workers (process) is also very important, the decoration should be well ensured that the lamps are installed in the correct installation method.
4. The light-emitting index star hotel should give customers a comfortable, high-end, style environment, so the "lighting / lighting design" should try to help it express it and minimize the impact. Generally, the “lighting index” to be considered in the selection of lamps in “lighting/lighting design” includes the following: “CutoffAngle” of the luminaire, the influence of glare, how to collect the light source, the elasticity of the projection of the luminaire, the expandability of the accessory, etc. Other factors affect the selection of lamps. Especially in terms of the expandability of accessories, consider it to be very detailed, because of the "projection angle" on the control projection index, "color/tone correction", "glare prevention", "accurate projection/illumination", etc. Some of these accessories are used to create an overall atmosphere.



The future development trend of hotel space lighting design, whether it is domestic or foreign hotel lighting design, is definitely inseparable from the "environmental protection". Whether it is market demand or design development, this concept of "environmental protection" cannot be separated. “Environmental protection” in market demand can be explained as environmental protection on equipment, which is how to balance the various factors that cause pollution. This is also an important responsibility of lighting designers. These include:
1. Power consumption: cause the production of carbon dioxide and increase the temperature and color emissions.
2. Light source life / lamp life: the time to be able to serve the project.
3. Disposal of pollution: such as tungsten wire or halogen light source, although its life is relatively short, but the content of its own substances to the extent of environmental pollution is less. On the contrary, if the energy-saving tube is used, the life is longer than that of the halogen, but when it is discarded, the degree of environmental pollution is high. At present, LED will be a more environmentally friendly light source choice without considering investment costs.
4. Light source heat: Increase the load of the air conditioner due to the heat generated by the light source/light.
5. Light pollution: As a result of excessively unwanted brightness or light, as the future direction of lighting design, it should be designed from the concept, with special accessories for lamps (such as the curtain of the floodlight; the shutter of the vapor lamp, etc.) Try to control the projection of light and collect unwanted light in the fixture.
Based on the above points, I suggest that lighting/lighting designers should work with lighting engineers, architects and physicists to discuss a comprehensive environmental indicator and provide an objective environmental rating for the luminaires. Used by the manufacturer.
