Philips Dynalite provides hotel with eco-lighting

Philips Dynalite has supplied an energy saving lighting control system for a luxury eco-friendly hotel in Cornwall.

The design for the Scarlet Hotel by Philips Dynalite Dimension dealer, Lightmaster-Direct, utilises best environmental practices to offer a lighting scheme that complements the surroundings.

The lighting scheme uses 3.36 watts per square metre.

Lightmaster-Direct designed, engineered and commissioned the lighting system to meet stringent environmental, functional and architectural criteria.

The Scarlet's fluorescent and LED circuits are controlled by a combination of Philips Dynalite relay and ballast controllers.

Philips Dynalite universal sensors ensure that lighting only activates when areas are occupied and when ambient light levels fall below a threshold level.

The Scarlet's lighting control system is designed around Philips Dynalite's sophisticated peer-to-peer communications serial bus network, Dynet.

Two Philips Dynalite touch-screen control panels allow the lighting moods of the public areas to be set by the hotel staff.

Revolution 2 user-interface wall panels permit local user control for some public areas and all the guest rooms.

There are two engraved and backlit Revolution 2 wall panels in each guest room - one by the entrance and one by the bed.

Guests can match their mood from a choice of seven lighting scenes created by the design team; ambient, bright, relax, bath, night, balcony, and all off.

In order to measure actual power consumption and to facilitate real-time monitoring for maintenance of the lighting system, the Scarlet is considering the addition of a DLight III server and Mapview software from Philips Dynalite to the lighting infrastructure.

This will enable fine tuning of the system over time to achieve further energy savings in the future.
