LIGHTING LED RETRO-


FIT A RUNWAY SUCCESS


Lighting manufacturers OSRAM share the story behind a recent refit of energy-efficient LED-lighting for a Stansted airport hotel, London.


Situated just six minutes from one of London’s busiest airports, this hotel has extensive rooms to accommodate visitors; including meeting rooms to host up to 250 guests, a 24-hour gym, spa, wellness centre and restaurant.


The hotel is popular with holiday- makers and business-users alike. Senior management at the hotel are constantly reviewing ways to increase energy efficiency and therefore wanted to replace the older lighting solutions in the hotel.


At the same time, they wanted to improve the quality of light and ambiance, especially in the popular conference and events facilities. Ease of maintenance is also a key factor when considering a new lighting solution.

The team undertook a complete survey of the hotel and then developed a scope of work that took into account the hotel’s long-term strategy for different areas, as well as its target for return on investment (ROI) within three years.


Pulling knowledge from all involved, the team developed a lighting concept that would utilise OSRAM’s industry- leading products and energy-saving capabilities, whilst maintaining and improving the standard of lighting throughout the hotel.


FIRST IMPRESSIONS


COUNT The team selected OSRAM products to suit the functionality of different areas in the hotel. It was important that the guest areas had the same lighting colour temperature, to create a consistent, relaxing atmosphere.


By comparison, the staff areas of the hotel needed functional lighting, so that staff could work effectively and safely. With the right plans in place, OSRAM, Ecosolve Solutions, Mico Lighting and Norwood Electrical installed the new concept during two phases; ensuring minimal disruption to the hotel and its guests.


Fiona Thomson, National Account Manager at Mico Lighting explains, “It was important that the project ran
