Hotel Conference Room Lighting Examples

A large hotel on the East Coast had recently renovated one of their conference rooms. The new facility would allow virtually any type of event to be hosted in the room simply by adding different types of tables and chairs. They immediately realized, however, that renovations had caused the conference room to outgrow the capabilities of its primitive fluorescent lighting system. A new lighting system would be needed to accommodate the many new functions that the room would be used for.

We first asked the hotel to visit our lighting case studies to validate our services and send us a list of the many events they planned to rent the room for. This allowed us to get a better grasp on their expectations and indicate the level of complexity that the conference room lighting would require. We realized early on that we would have to create multiple switching points in order to generate different layers of light in different parts of the conference room. Mood setting was not our primary concern here. There were a number of product trade shows coming to town that intended to attract an older audience. The conference room needed the brightest commercial lighting fixtures possible host these events so people could clearly see product details and colors.

We also had to install lighting above a small stage in the conference room. Stage lighting equipment is not our normal forte, but we assured the hotel that we would come up with something exceptional here as part of the overall conference room lighting system. By taking IES files associated with different types of fixtures into our photometric software, we then began to model dozens of hypothetical lighting case examples for the conference room. This allowed us to develop both an equipment list and a plan for lighting control in the conference room.

To meet the demands of bright lighting versus flexible lighting, we installed a combination of fluorescent and halogen lights. For, general lighting that would be required for trade shows, we used 2X4 T8 fluorescent fixtures regulated by electronic ballasts. For indirect light during audiovisual presentations, we recommended placing wall sconces along the sides of the conference room. Finally, to create a light dimmable source that would adjust the conference room lighting to levels appropriate for everything from motivational speaking to formal parties, we installed recessed halogens along the ceiling and over the stage. Event coordinators can now turn all lights on at maximum capacity for trade show, and they can turn off fluorescent lights and use dimmers to adjust halogen lights and wall sconces for all other functions.
