smoothly, and that the hotel could continue business as usual, so we put in place exceptional products and a high quality team. One of the main benefits of OSRAM is the range of products available to meet the complex requirements of the hotel.”
The team started in the reception area, with LEDvance XL downlights to complement the LED globes, which are the main focal point. These bolstered the natural light in the lobby with a cheerful warming and welcoming atmosphere.
This ambiance was continued through to the conference room facilities, where LEDvance Area LED panel luminaires and GU10 LEDr downlights with dimming capability, were installed to enable the rooms to adapt to different purposes.
Ian Giddis, Director at Ecosolve Solutions said, “It was vital that we selected the right lighting solution for each different area of the hotel. Some areas, such as the restaurant, had been recently refurbished, so the lighting only needed an upgrade to more efficient technology. In other areas, such as the main function suite, a new lighting design was needed.
“We wanted to ensure these looked their best at all times, especially when they are empty and hotel staff members are showing a prospective customer around. The OSRAM LED panel luminaires and LEDr GU10s have totally transformed the rooms, making them inviting and refreshing.”
REFRESHING AND
UPDATING THE HOTEL The new uplifting theme was replicated throughout the rest of the hotel. Dark bedroom corridors that lacked natural light have been transformed into attractive, welcoming areas. The swimming pool changing area, restaurant and bar areas were also given a new lease of life with LED lighting options lasting significantly longer, meaning minimal time spent replacing lamps around the hotel.
Fiona Thomson of Mico Lighting explained, “The choice of lighting in

any hotel can dramatically change the guest experience. The OSRAM solution was designed with care to bring the hotel a relaxed and up-to- date feel, as well as addressing the hotel’s energy saving targets.”
Ian Giddis agreed, “Old fittings and inefficient lamps gave the hotel an outdated look. By bringing in the OSRAM solution, the hotel has been through a complete transformation. Even changing a lamp is now easier for the hotel staff – there used to be a mis-match of multiple lamps types in the bar area but now there are a small number that’s easier to manage.”
SHINING THE LIGHT ON
ENERGY SAVINGS Taking this coordinated approach to the lighting project, 958 lamps and luminaires were installed at the hotel on time, without disrupting the hotel’s day-to-day operations.
The new lighting has improved the quality of light at the hotel with significant energy savings in light sources alone. As a result, the hotel will have achieved their return on investment target in 2.4 years with the new lighting installation.
The Head of Hotel Maintenance said that “by choosing the OSRAM solution, the hotel has also lowered its maintenance costs, saving up to one hour per day due to the lifetime of the new LED lighting, compared with the previous halogen lamps”.
The project has been so successful, that further lighting projects will be completed in cooperation with the OSRAM team.
