Dynalite's involvement in these hotel installations will span from the design phase through to commissioning. In each case, the company will supply an automated lighting solution comprising a range of Dynalite controllers, wall panels, touch-screens, interfaces, sensors, and software.
At the heart of the Dynalite systems are the modular DIN rail-mountable DDMC802 multipurpose controllers. These support large quantities of small loads in hotel and high-density residential applications. By providing the ability to use load-specific modules--whether for luminaire dimming or automation of blinds, curtains or fans--there's a huge reduction in the waste caused by unused channels in conventional control approaches. This makes them ideally suited to meet the growing trend for advanced levels of lighting and automation control in hotel guest rooms.
The new lighting control systems at each of the four hotels will provide lighting for all major hotel areas, and will encompass energy-saving technologies. For the Rockliffe and Berners hotels, the projects will further include landscaping and exterior illumination. Hotel guest comfort will be assured by the inclusion of individual room controls and user-friendly integration with third-party systems, such as audio-visual systems.
Managing director Dynalite Europe, Paul Wilmshurst, states, "Dynalite's involvement in the design stage of such projects has been extremely rewarding. It allows the hotels to take full advantage of the functionality of our lighting solutions. "Ultimately, these benefits will be enjoyed by the hotel guests. Even small design improvements incorporated early in the design process will have enormous impacts on occupant comfort and enjoyment for years to come."
