Background: A 5-Star Hotel Struggling With Outdated Lighting

DALI Hotel Lighting-In a Southeast Asian five-star hotel renovation project, the management team discovered that long-standing lighting issues were affecting guest experience, operational efficiency, and brand perception. The following challenges are based on a real project case and reflect what many hotels face today:

Hotel Pain Points

Inconsistent ambience across public areas
Different luminaires with different color temperatures and brightness created an unbalanced visual experience.

Inefficient scene changes for meetings and events
Staff relied on manual adjustments, causing delays and unprofessional transitions.

High maintenance cost and complicated fault detection
Without addressing and grouping, engineers had to check fixtures one by one.

Significant energy waste
Public areas maintained full brightness throughout the day with no daylight-based control.

Old and new lighting systems unable to integrate
Multiple brands mixed together made expansion and centralized control difficult.
