Lighting Applications — Hotel, Retail & Residential

01 · Hospitality

Hotels, guest rooms and serviced apartments

Hospitality is our largest sector. The work splits into three completely different problems, and they are rarely bought together.

Public areas

Lobbies and atriums

A 3 m chandelier in a double-height lobby is an engineering problem before it is a design problem. We supply the rigging drawing with the load per fixing point, so your structural engineer can approve it, and we trial-assemble every arm in the workshop before packing.

Load per fixing point stated on the rigging drawing
Module split for transport where the piece is too large for a container
Component numbering matched to crate labels
On-site guidance by video during installation

Project & commercial lighting

Guest rooms

Vanity and dressing mirrors

Room by room, and in a volume. Our hotel bedroom mirror (LB-717) has a warm halo behind the glass and a moisture-resistant backing, and the K9 crystal vanity range (LB-701 to LB-707) covers the shape options operators ask for most. Sizes are project-based, so the batch is consistent.

Project sizing rather than catalogue sizing
Consistent light colour across the whole room batch
Spare units shipped with the tranche
Private label packaging for hotel groups

Bathrooms

Wet-area specification

A hotel bathroom mirror is decided by six things: where the power supply sits, the IP rating, the glass coating, the wall fixing, the light temperature and what you can get replaced when something fails. Get any of them wrong and the mirror is a maintenance problem for the operator.

IP-rated models for wet areas (LB-710, LB-711, LB-712)
Eco-silver glass that will not blacken at the edges
Replaceable drivers and LED modules
Certification arranged per project, importer responsibilities made clear

The specification guide

02 · Restaurants & bars

Linear runs, pendants and the right height

A restaurant fixture lives or dies on three numbers: the drop above the table, the light temperature on the food, and how it behaves after two years of heat and cleaning.

Restaurant lighting is a linear or pendant problem. We build continuous runs over table rows, pendants at a specified drop, and bar features that read as a wall of light rather than a row of bulbs.

Drop set to your ceiling height, not a default
High-CRI LED so food photography looks like the menu
Heat-tolerant drivers, away from the extraction zone
Replaceable components — no driver buried above the ceiling
Finishes that survive repeated cleaning

Specification notes for restaurant work

Send the ceiling height and the table layout, not just a picture. A pendant that looks right in a render can sit in a guest's eyeline at the wrong height — and that is a one-way door, because the drop is set on the drawing before the frame is cut.

For runs, tell us the number of units and the spacing you want. For a room with an irregular ceiling, we will tell you where the joints have to fall before you commit to a layout.

03 · Residential

Villas, apartments and penthouses

One ceiling, one client, one fixture. There is no repeat order to hide behind, so the detail has to be right the first time.

Stairwells

Spiral and cantilevered stairs

A spiral stair is the hardest lighting geometry in a private house: the rise changes with every tread, the stringer blocks the view of the fixture, and the piece is often installed before the stair is finished. We work from the stair drawing, not the room drawing, and we set the drop so the light lands on the tread rather than in the client's eye.

Staircase lighting

Double height

Living rooms and atria

Large, low, and the thing the room is organised around. We build cloud forms, sculptural clusters and multi-tier structures, and we engineer them for the ceiling they will hang from — including the fixings, which is the part most often missed.

Custom chandeliers

Dressing

Wardrobes and dressing areas

Full-length LED mirrors (LB-715, LB-716) that stand on the floor or hang on the wall, with the light coming from the frame rather than the front, so the face is lit and the room is not. The RGB model on LB-716 is a retail favourite and works well as a private commission.

Full-length mirror models

Sizing a staircase fixture before you commit? Read the staircase chandelier size guide — it covers the rise-to-drop relationship, the headroom question and why the stair drawing matters more than the ceiling plan.

04 · Retail & showroom

Fit-outs that have to be identical in every store

Retail lighting is mostly an OEM problem. The fixture is specified once and delivered forty times, and the forty-first has to match the first.

Your branding on the fixture, the box and the manual
Retained finish sample so batch forty matches batch one
High-resolution images of the actual goods for your listings
Agreed component list and QC checklist per SKU
Phased delivery to a store rollout schedule
No-logo catalogue if you resell under your own brand

Wholesale & OEM programme

Mirrors in retail

Makeup and try-on

Retail and e-commerce are where our mirror range converts best. The Hollywood model (LB-709) with its crystal-bead surround is the classic seller; the heart shape (LB-707) works for the gift channel; and the crystal-ball frame (LB-708) is a genuinely differentiated piece for a premium range.

All of them are private-label ready — logo on the glass, your packaging, your manual.

05 · Salon & beauty

Mirrors where the client is the product

In a salon, the light is not decoration. It decides whether a client likes what they see. That makes the colour temperature and CRI a specification question, not a preference.

Model	Why it is chosen	What to specify
LB-709	Hollywood style with a crystal-bead surround — the salon and online-seller favourite	Warm 2700K for skin tone, continuous dimming, tabletop or wall mount	LB-709 mirror specs
LB-701	Oval K9 crystal — the boutique look, and the shape clients associate with a hotel	Tri-colour LED so the stylist can shift from warm to neutral for a daylight check	LB-701 mirror specs
LB-705	Square K9 crystal — clean, modern, and a good fit for a dressing counter	CRI above 90 if the client is being photographed	LB-705 mirror specs
LB-706	Rounded square — softer silhouette, works in a domestic-style salon	Stainless steel base, or wall mount with a longer fixing	LB-706 mirror specs

Choosing the glass is half of it. K9 crystal vs acrylic vs glass compares the frame materials, and the driver and power supply guide covers the electronics that decide whether the dimmer feels right.

06 · Commercial & public

Offices, lobbies and public buildings

Mostly unseen and always noticed. The client is not the end user, so the specification comes through an architect or a main contractor — which means submittals matter.

Reception

Desks and lobby features

A reception desk fixture is usually a design statement with a hard commercial brief behind it. We build to the architect's drawing, and we produce the submittal package their consultant needs to sign it off.

Circulation

Corridors and lift lobbies

Long runs, repeated modules, and a specification that has to be repeatable across floors and buildings. Wall and ceiling lines (LB-501) cover most of it, and the point of the model is that the hundredth matches the first.

Wall & ceiling lighting

Programme

Fixed opening dates

Commercial work runs to a date that cannot move. We tell you the honest delivery window at quotation stage rather than after you have committed, and we phase the delivery to your site sequence so a floor is not blocked waiting on a crate.

Straight answers

Questions that come up in every sector

Can you supply the same fixture across twenty rooms or twenty stores?

Yes, and that is the point of a programme. We retain a finish reference sample against it, lock the component list per SKU, and hold the light colour bin across the run. Batch twenty matches batch one, and any proposed change to a component is notified to you before it is made rather than after.

What is the minimum order for a hotel or commercial project?

One piece for a genuinely custom fixture — a single bespoke pendant for a lobby is a normal order for us. For catalogue models and OEM programmes the MOQ is 50 pieces, and it drops on a mixed-SKU programme. The MOQ is always stated in the quotation before you commit to anything.

How do you handle installation on a project where we cannot be on site?

Every large fixture ships with a rigging and wiring drawing, a component and joint numbering sheet, and the load per fixing point so your structural engineer can approve it. Larger pieces include a 1:1 installation drawing. Installation is carried out by your own contractor with our remote guidance — by video, live during the install if the time zones work. We do not send our own installers and we do not take responsibility for a local crew’s work.

Can you deliver in phases to match our site programme?

Yes. We phase delivery to your site sequence so a floor is not waiting on a crate that is still in production, and component numbering is matched to crate labels so the crew can find what they need. For hotel and retail rollouts this is normal practice, not an exception.

Who is responsible for certification in our market?

That depends on the scheme, and we will say so plainly at quotation stage. Our drivers and LED modules come from suppliers holding CE, UL or ENEC approvals with certificates on file. For the finished fixture, CE self-declaration for the EU can be arranged alongside the order, and test reports for Saudi SABER and other markets are prepared at cost. Some schemes legally require the importer to be the applicant rather than the manufacturer — SABER is one of them — and you need to know that before the goods are on a boat.

Will you tell us if our idea cannot be built?

Yes, and we would rather do it at quotation stage than after the deposit. Sometimes a ceiling height does not work, sometimes a size is structurally impossible, sometimes a finish cannot be applied to a particular material. You get an itemised quotation within one working day, and if we cannot build it we will say that instead of taking the order.
