Plan the detail
Considered before
the lights go on.
Bring the light position, mounting, location conditions and complete electrical system into one installation brief.
Prototype the guest experience
Assess the light from the entrance, bed, seating and desk rather than judging the detail only at standing height. Check reflections in mirrors and screens, direct views of the source and the effect on room finishes. Keep decorative layers separate from the lighting needed for reading, grooming, circulation and other specific activities.
Make repeated details easy to service
Plan supplies, controls and connections where maintenance staff can reach them without dismantling finished headboards or ceilings. Label repeated runs and retain the agreed product schedule. Describe housekeeping methods and any moisture exposure. One approved dry-room detail should not automatically be copied into bathrooms, external areas or other different conditions.
Specify rooms, zones and user controls
Provide typical room plans, joinery sections, room counts and the variations between them. Explain how guests and staff should switch or dim each zone, including the required behaviour after power is restored. Include programme and access constraints in the quote request. Assess all required safety and emergency lighting within the wider project.
