Design targets
The figures below are the design targets set for the scheme, not measured values on site. They are the numbers the calculations, luminaire selection and control strategy were built around.
| Parameter | Target |
|---|---|
| Colour temperature (CCT) | 3000 K |
| Target illuminance | 300-600 lx |
| Installed lighting load | 10W/m² |
Approach
Hospitality lighting works from the tables and the faces around them outwards, with daylight doing the work by day and layered, dimmable warm light taking over in the evening. Every scheme is checked in Dialux Evo before it is drawn, then documented as reflected ceiling plans, a luminaire schedule and a control narrative the contractor can price and install from.
