Lighting is the catalyst of space atmosphere and has an important position in architecture and interior design. In recent years, along with the trend of simplicity, personalized design, designers find the needs of hotel space lighting become more and more refined. As a result, the "linear lighting" with the characteristics of simple fashion, easy installation, carefree light and shadow is favored by more and more lighting designers.

In the hotel lighting design, the illumination from  linear lighting is very uniform, bright and not dazzling, light and nimble, with no danger  of overpowering the guests. Whetherin the hotel’s private space or public space, wall or ground, it can enrich the  context, create the visual effect of light and dark contrast, blend between reality and virtuality, and at the same time adapt to each area to play different functions.

1. Atmosphere creation with the linear lighting: wall, top, floor

In the hotel space, linear lighting fittings can be carefully concealed gradually extending away along the space contour of wall, top and floor to create a unique geometric shape. They provide lighting functions while also creating a light, dynamic and exquisite style of space context.

Linear lights are often used in the ceiling of hotel rooms. Previously fitted main lightscan be changed to a linear light with its own suspension effect. This can increase the visual sense of depth of the top, and the combination of downlights, spotlights and other lamps in the rooms not only ensures the overall lighting function of the space, but also emphasizes a soft, bright, full and moody atmosphere.

Linear lights, such as exterior linear sign lighting, are also commonly used on walls. There are special accessories in the assembled interior system where the lighting fixtures are connected to the wall panels, which can flexibly and conveniently embed the lights into the wall, increasing the sense of fashion and three-dimensionality of the structure. It, creates a light and advanced space atmosphere and gives a visual extension of the space. In addition, a light strip can be placed on top of the bed in the guest room, which can replace or match the bedside lamp to create a warm and romantic visual effect and space atmosphere.

Meanwhile, in corridors, aisles, floors and other locations, hotel lighting designers also like to decorate with linear lighting, which can instantly capture people's visual focus and bring full vitality to the space through the connection with the lighting elements on the walls and tops.

2. The outline of linear lights: skirting line, internal and external corners, stairs

In addition to the three spaces of wall, top and floor, led linear spotlight can also be applied in some functional highlight areas in high-end hotels, such as skirting boards, internal and external corners, and stairs. The use of light can outline the overall contour and details of the hotel space, enhance the three-dimensional hotel space, and can also highlight the key part of the lighting, playing a role in safety and security.

By installing light strips under the stairs or along a  skirting line, the light strips embedded in them are good-looking and high-class, and the soft light can better play a contouring role. Not only does this illuminate the path underfoot, giving people a sense of security when walking, it also  gives the stairs a rhythmic beauty.

Application at the internal and external corners can also play a warning role to avoid injuries at these areas.. In addition, it can cover the defects that may occur at the joints of internal and external corners, and break the boundaries of light and darkness with the technique of line outlining to enhance the overall beauty of the space.

3. The auxiliary lighting of linear lights: cabinets, mirrors and other local areas

In addition to the larger area of the hotel space range, linear lighting has a wide range of applications in some smaller localized spaces, especially  cabinets, mirrors, shelves and other areas. The design of linear lights in the bar cabinet of a hotel can make the cabinet feel a part of a space, rather than a standalone item. When the cabinet is opened, it will not affect the vision because of the darkness inside the cabinet, and it can also increase the modern atmosphere and fashion aesthetics of the space.

The installation of linear light strip around the mirror in the hotel bathroom is also an increasingly  common practice. The light is soft and not harsh, which can make the mirror image clearer and bring its own beauty effect, while also highlighting the personality and style.
