Martin Architectural - Dynamic Hotel Lighting Solutions

Lighting is full of opportunity. It poses a ubiquitous and continual opportunity to make an impression, from relaxed and comfortable to energetic and edgy, depending on use and location.

Perhaps nowhere is this truer than in the environs of a contemporary hotel. As Ruth Allan states in the article Creating First Impressions, "Lighting is one of the hotelier's secret weapons; some say the difference between success and failure."

Façade, lobby, restaurant, nightclub, bar, shop, conference room, courtyard, wellness area - opportunities for impression in today's hotel abound.

MARTIN ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING

Lighting performs more than a functional role - it helps define the basic personality of a hotel. Martin Architectural, a pioneer in the field of dynamic light, offers hotels a contemporary approach to illumination.

Dynamic light adds a whole new dimension with which to create mood and expression - buildings that can react to shifts in culture, mood and climate - and is increasingly being integrated into hotel lighting worldwide.

The hotelier is constantly searching for ways in which to differentiate themselves from the competition, and the manipulation of light and color offers a powerful way of delivering that unique point of view.

PROGRAMMABLE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR LUMINAIRES

What differentiates Martin Architectural lighting is the unique nature of its product line – a range of programmable, award-winning indoor and outdoor luminaires with unique natural qualities of color change, pattern projection, intensity control, and movement.

Designed to satisfy the architectural sector’s requirements for aesthetic form, versatility and efficiency, Martin offers a wide variety of indoor and outdoor color-changing washlights; color-changing spotlights; promotional luminaires and dedicated sources for fiber optic.

Capable of both traditional white light and alluring color projection, Martin Architectural luminaires are durable, easy-to-use creative tools capable of responding to changing requirements.

LIGHTING MAKES THE HOTEL EXPERIENCE UNIQUE

Whether a designer hotel, chain or resort, hotels are increasingly combining traditional hotel functions with a huge variety of more modern amenities and services.

A customizable dynamic lighting solution allows the hotelier to cater these environments to its clientele. A hotel lobby doubles as an evening entertainment area; a restaurant or bar morphs into a nightclub after dark; façade lighting changes to welcome important clients. The clever use of light can also be used as a guide, for example to lead guests from a bar to a restaurant or to divide two areas from each other.

Dynamic light is used as a means of defining space, creating atmosphere, and communicating messages, and many hotels require different atmospheres morning, noon and night. At Brulee: The Dessert Experience located at the Tropicana Casino and Resort in Atlantic City, New Jersey, Martin FiberSource CMY 150 fiber optic illuminators help the specialty restaurant create a dramatic shift from day to night time operation.

Capable of emitting a nearly endless variety of colors, the FiberSource are programmed as a dessert-matching white and yellow light effect during the day. After 11:00pm Brulee turns into a nightclub / bar complete with a small DJ area. Areas of toned-down color emerge at night as more dramatic color changes and waves of color predominate. The space is transformed from serene, white and classy to a hot, exciting club environment.
